Hi everyone. Those of you who own the lip balm, would you rebuy or rather get the Poppy lip shine ? I’m about to order and don’t want to get both ;) thank you !!

I have both and due to all the mask wearing, I prefer the lip balm as it does not leave stains inside my masks.

Before the pandemic, I preferred the Poppy Lip shine as I liked the little bit of sparkle on my lips.
 
I don’t think it helps with smoothness. I would live if any lip liner did that. Only balm and well doses exfoliation can help I think. It however can help with feathering. Applying a lip color with a brush instead of straight from the bullet can too.
Good to know, thanks! I've never tried a lip brush but maybe I'll up my game down the road.
 
I generally put some of my foundation on my lips (I use Armani) and that has done more to make my lip products last longer through the day than anything else. I also have been using Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk Pencil and I love the was the H lipsticks wear after that (I use both matte and shiny though I prefer the matte).

I'm very used to playing with my makeup. Lip products are several layers (foundation, pencil, H Lipstick, and I have been using a Pat McGrath gloss on top). That, plus I have a plastic piece under my mask so my lips aren't rubbing against the mask....if I'm not eating or drinking, this can last all afternoon into the evening, regardless of whether I'm wearing a mask.
 
A tip I received several years back from a mua, is to out line your lips & fill them in with your
lip liner. Apply your lipstick & then go over the edges. This method for me is good for several hours
I have found that Serge Lutens lip pencil #1 works well for me. I am also a fan of Tom Ford lip
products as well.. one in particular called lip sculptor

Does anyone know the release date for the new spring colors? Last year it was March 4th, which is only two short weeks away. I’m just wondering because there already quite a few people on social media who apparently have already bought the colors. Thanks!

Thanks for these ideas... now that you mention it, I'd forgotten I too have put concealer or foundation down first and then applied lipstick, it works pretty well. A while back I started wearing Le Rouge Duo (ultra long wear) by Chanel and it negated the need to do anything because it stays put so well... I find myself needing to remember what works with a bullet lipstick!

What piece of plastic do you have under your mask? That sounds like a must-have for me. I saw an Insta ad for a mask cup breathing thing a while back but have no idea what it was called.

Thank you for this tip. I might check out the lip sculptor! I googled and found a white-looking one (the color is "lick" https://www.nordstrom.com/s/tom-ford-lip-sculptor/5023998) - do you happen to know if that white is actually transparent to be worn under any color? If it's transparent it could be a great edge definer.

Idk if I'm required to keep this tightly under wraps (I don't work for H but a close friend does) but the next beauty launch are going to be blush and lip gloss! Blushes are priced at $72 and the glosses are the same as the lipsticks at $67(ish?). Both will be refillable like the lipsticks!
Oooooohhhh! Love glosses :) Can't wait! Anyone know when-ish this is coming? March right?

Add nail polish to that. My intel seems to think next year.
 
I have received the H lip balm, but I‘m not very impressed I have to say. On me it leaves a white cast and it‘s Notbehelfe most moisturizing balm I have used. Obviously though, it‘s still very visually pleasing ;)View attachment 4998382View attachment 4998383

oh, and I almost forgot. My evercolor lipstick sleeve has fit all the color lipsticks but is admittedly too small for the balm. You can get it on, but not off without the help of brushes or pens and vigorous pushing...

We’d never tell ;)
very interesting, I would be in the market for a good gloss. Haven’t bought one in at least five years!

It's white in color but goes on transparent & it has a tapered point for easy touch ups..
