Wanted to compare my two closest lip colors: INTO YOU Earthy (left) and INTO YOU ES05 (right)

Earthy pulls more cool grey-brown, while ES05 is brown with a hint of warmth. Instead of MLBB (My Lips But Better) my ideal is like...My Lips But Masculine which ES05 is to me, and is why I like it so much

my collection of brownish lip colors grows... the cost is the only thing holding me back from buying MAC brown lipsticks to add... they've been coming out with cool tone browns cuz it's in right now and the temptation is real

tried ITY Earthy on its own first. Product photo and color in tube looks so brown but on me it looks very close to my lip color but cancelling the red (which I like). then I layered Girlcult M61 and a tiny bit if DRAMO 01. love to make my lips look dead :P

The ITY Nourish Lip Serum is nice! It came as a freebie in my order but this is something I'll actually use. It's lightweight, slippy, and feels really comfortable. I also tried Duo lip mud. Taupe is a concealer shade on me and Coco is a bit redder than I expected but not bad.

My little INTO YOU order came in! I got Espresso Lip Matt in ES05 (rebuying a color I got at TESO that's running low), Clash & Duo Lip Mud CD05, AND Soft Matte Lip Clay in Earthy. Freebies were a lip serum and this plush photocard holder which I put Taemin in 😂

Did a snowy night nail look with Essie Booties on Broadway + Cirque Colors Starry Eyed (magnetic holographic shimmer topper)

Looks dark here but it's more blue in person

Tonight's makeup started with subtle Clio Palette Mute Library shades as a base (light mauves and browns), but mostly finished with bold colors from my Pat McGrath palette (blue shimmer under eyes, gold shimmer on lid, grey and black as eyeliner). Happy with how it came out! Lips are DRAMO #02.

today's lip combo is kind of ??? in a "I can't tell if this is interesting or boring" way. I layered Rom&nd Zero Velvet Tint #22 Grain Nude which is a warmer orangey brown over DRAMO lip mud #01 which is an ashy concealer tone on me. I look like I have "I'm Sick But My Lips Still Serve" lips?

originally did just the gold color but it was too bright so i added a darker color to tone it down. did irregular blobs but the middle finger kinda looks like a person and it creeps me out so happy halloween i guess?????

my little container of cinnamon was running low so i got a new tall thing of cinnamon. but months later i am still using the last bits of cinnamon which seem to be stretching on infinitely despite me using cinnamon almost every day!!?? which means the new cinnamon will last 10 years oops

Desperately trying to avoid becoming a makeup hoarder/collector who buys makeup just cuz it's pretty but never uses them. Trying to appreciate and use what I already bought, even the shades I thought I didn't like. It's been fun to actually find ways to use them by mixing colors!
October 21, 2025 at 11:29 PM
It feels bad owning lip products that I don't use because the shade isn't right. Recently I'm trying to think less like a consumer (must buy more to find the perfect shade to use as is!) and more like an artist (I can mix my own colors from what I have!) Anyway here's today's blend.
