MLBB Smackdown

This. This is why I started a spreadsheet to keep track of my collection.  I went through a period this summer where I thought to myself, "Self, we don't really have any good indie My Lip But Better options.  I should pick one up."  I then proceeded to go overboard because I have a terrible memory.

First I put in a Ten Three Labs order because I was down to one salve stick, and running out would be a disaster.  At the last second, I added Dump Truck to my cart (which I'd been eyeing since it's release) and checked out before I could change my mind yet again.   And I promptly forgot all about it.  

THEN, I found out KaeQ's Color of the Month for August was Herbology.  As it was a lovely looking nude that didn't seem like it would wash me out, I knew I had to have it.  Of course they arrived on the same day.  And they looked so similar in the packaging it was like Freaky Friday up in here.  

To make it even worse, I'd picked up a few of Life's Entropy's new mattes earlier this month, and guess what?  Yup, there was a pinky brown in there too!   Clearly, I need to do a better job of A) updating my collection's spreadsheet and B) actually checking it before I order stuff.  Now that I'm overflowing with mlbb options, the question is:  What to do with all of them?  I know!  Let's have a good ol' fashioned Three Way Death Match to see who'll reign supreme!

It's gonna be a slobberknocker, King!

Buckle up kids, because Business is about to pick up! 

KaeQ 2: Electric Boogaloo

I made another KaeQ order this month in my continuing search for Bright Ass Summer Lip Colors.  I've been wearing the hell out of Mamey, but I still wanted an ORANGE orange.  After my last post, a few of you suggested I try I Mango.  I hadn't planned on ordering again so soon, but Nicole announced a 20% off Sale AND a green (!) beso, Aguataque, as July's Color of the Month.  While I was at it, I picked up a full size of Dragonfruit.

Tada!

Again, I am super impressed with KaeQ's Besos.  Mango and Dragonfruit are pigmented like whoa.  How pigmented, you ask?  While I was swatching, I kissed Son #2 all over his face with all 3 colors.  Normally, I can sort him out with just a baby wipe.  This time, I had to use Mineral Oil and then wash his face to get all of the lip prints off.  On my lips, Dragonfruit was the only one that stained.  I'm getting ahead of myself.  Let's make with the swatching.

KaeQ

I've resisted ordering from KaeQ for ages. Don't get me wrong, I really wanted All The Things. The problem is I was in the middle of a Low Buy when Nicole opened up shop. It doesn't help that I'm a lipstick junkie. Considering the amount of lip products I already had, I could justify getting more... No matter how much I really wanted them.

I finally decided to take the plunge when KaeQ did their tandem 20% off sale with Baroque Cosmetics last month.  Plus, buying at one shop got you a coupon for the other. I ended up picking up two Besos and a Mielo balm.
