The original lip combo megapost (with just over 150 combinations) hasn’t been updated since late July, so I think it’s about time for an update! Here are 42 additional combinations taken from the past six months… but first, let me point you to some resources you may want to see.
Product photos of all of my lipsticks and lipglasses; swatches of all of my lipsticks and lipglasses. This way when a color is limited, you can at least see what it looks like alone.

OMG! SO PRETTY! Seriously! Looking at these makes me want to go play with makeup right now! LOL!
But seriously, 2 questions:
1) OMG, how do you to take a pic of your makeup each day for this? I mean, it’s great for us to see on the site, but isn’t it a pain in the butt?
2)How does your boyfriend deal with your lipstick/gloss? I sometimes don’t even wear lip products just because most guys I’ve been with will shy away from kissing me if I’m wearing any lipstick or gloss.

Hey Mariah!
Well, I take photos when I do my makeup, and it helps that people seem to enjoy looking at whatever look I’ve done, so I post and can always come back later on to gather the info :) It honestly takes less than 5 minutes to take photos of my eyes, lips, and face! I’ve got it down to a science!
Since moving in with my boyfriend, I definitely wear a LOT less lipstick/gloss. When I do want to wear something and still kiss him a lot, I opt for MAC’s prolong/lustrewears since they’re kiss proof (makeout proof – sort of, but not 100%). Usually, though, I’ll don lipstick/gloss before we leave somewhere and get a bunch of kisses in before we leave!

Thanks for posting these! Love all of them. Is Strawberry Blonde a LE lipstick? I really like it!
Christine
Thursday, January 24, 2008
No problem! Yep, sadly it was limited edition. The pay off and part of the color did remind me of N3 lipstick. The only thing is Strawberry Blonde is more of a peachy-pink than just a pink (like N3).

Blasphemy!! Just kidding :)
Nell
Thursday, January 24, 2008
Thank you so much, Christine! I love your lip combo posts.
What would be even greater, would be to see a pic of the lipstick alone on your lips and then with various “overcoats” of gloss.
I wish I hadn´t missed so many great LE items!
Christine
Thursday, January 24, 2008
My pleasure, Nell :) I wish I had that kind of time (and my lips wouldn’t kill me for it later, lol), but I do have swatches on paper and pictures of all of my lipsticks…
You can find swatches/product photos of nearly everything I own in this category: http://www.temptalia.com/category/features/product-photos-swatches

I totally agree with Nell it would be super great to see the original lipstick color BEFORE you put gloss on top.

Was so looking forward to a new lip combo post:D. Could u please tell me what would be a good substitute for vital spark lipglass?
Christine
Thursday, January 24, 2008
:) I was kind of sad that there weren’t more! I was like, “What?!! That’s it!” I honestly thought it was going to be a bigger post, which, to be frank, is one of the reasons why I’ve put it off for awhile, lol.
Gosh, Vital Spark was kind of a unique color, amongst the permanent line. I’d probably say Lust is Lush lipgelee is the closest :( Vital Spark is a very peachy-orange color.

YOU. ARE. ONE. CRAZY. COSMETIC. THING.
And I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!!!
Anyways, just thought I’ll share that the Fafi collection is released on 12th Feb in Singapore and because my time zone +8.00, I’ll actually be getting my Fafi when its the 11th in US! This is a first for MAC here! Usually or should I say since my first MAC days, I’ve never heard of Singapore releasing collections earlier than in US or even on the same day as US. We are always weeeeeeeeks behind. For example, the N collection just arrived 2 days ago here… honestly but =.= what the hell.
There are of course advantages because I can look at your reviews and decide beforehand on what I’ll be getting! =D Please please please please please NEVER NEVER EVER give up blogging ya? =D
I HEART YOU!

hi! just wanted to say i’m new here, but absolutely love your site. i’ve always been a bit intimidated by makeup, but have started playing around and now i am addicted!! thank you soooo much for your tutorials & recommendations. i was inspired to finally go to the MAC counter & ended up with the best foundation match ever (studio fix fluid NC15-i need some sun!) , i am so happy!
in fact, i think i’ll sneak back today & grab a couple of these combos, i never knew how multi-dimensional lip color could be with l/p & l/g combined – thank you for these pics!
Christine
Friday, January 25, 2008
Thank you Davina! :) I’m so glad that you’re no longer intimidated by makeup, it’s such a fun thing to play with!
And isn’t Studio Fix Fluid awesome?!

Your lip collection looks like so much fun! It’s like Disneyland for lips.

LOL! Disneyland for lips, love it! I’m so obsessed with glosses and lipsticks, I have no idea why.

Damn you & your Strawberry Blonde! I want this lipstick soooo bad! haha.
Thanks for the great combo inspirations :)

Very nice combos.

This post is great! I am always focused so much on eyes, that I seem to neglect my lipstick and gloss collection, which is quite large-but you’ve inspired me to get it going again. Thanks!
Christine
Friday, January 25, 2008
Sure thing, Stephanie! Be sure to share some of your favorite new combos!

Oh I had no idea there could be so many shades/hues of pink! I love all of them – your lips are so pretty! Would love to see them in a brownish shade – maybe you don’t like that shade? I like Bazzarish, looks great on you!
Christine
Friday, January 25, 2008
You’d be amazed! So many subtle differences :)
Brown tends to totally wash me out, unfortunately. Bazzarrish, OMG, makes me look like I’m dead! I never wear colors that dark usually.

hey Christine do you think Lipstick -Bombshell & Lipstick -Creme de la Femme are very similar… because i want a bubble gum pink lipstick…. but they look so a-like!?
Christine
Thursday, February 7, 2008
Hey Tatiana!
Oh goodness, no, they’re not. Bombshell is a bright pale pink and Creme de la Femme is more like a purple pink! Bombshell is the way to go for a bubblegum pink! Even Snob is a good choice.

Thank you for doing this much work. These are so helpful! I was just wondering about the pictures of Snob Appeal and Culture Class with Contessa. They appear to be the same picture (I’m crazy and was comparing). I really like the combination and was wondering if you could tell me which it really was. Thanks!
Christine
Tuesday, February 12, 2008
Thanks for catching that! They are the same image – it is Culture Class with Contessa!

Hi Christine,
I was wondering if you knew a good dupe for Poetique lipglass? I can’t seem to find it on the MAC website.
P.S. This post (and your whole site) is so helpful!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to put it all together.
Christine
Thursday, May 8, 2008
Hey Evelyn! Unfortunately there isn’t really a great dupe for it :( It’s a dirty orange-brown kind of color for reference.
Thanks!
