Lip Lust: 3N Lipstick + 2N Lipglass
Back In Time with N Collection
Do you ever like to go through your stash and rediscover old favorites? Since I wasn’t wearing makeup (to help clear up my acne) for so long, I was really itching for *some* makeup to play with… which meant lips! I didn’t want to go too bold with my lip choices, because without more makeup to complement the bold lips, it would make my face look incomplete (at least to me).
This leads us to 3N Lipstick paired with 2N Lipglass! Think of 3N as one of those “my lips but better” (MLBB), with a little extra pink to give lips a natural flush. 2N Lipglass adds the sparkle and the shimmer, complementing the pink hues with some beigey-pink. Add in multi-colored shimmer and you’ve got an easy, oh-so-wearable combination perfect for a neutral look or on its own.
If you can’t get your hands on 3N Lipstick, try Hug Me lipstick instead. If 2N Lipglass eludes you, try Luminary lustreglass (it’ll work well with this combination in particular).
Ahh! Thanks for the memories! I have 3N and I like to wear it to play down bold lipstick.
Ohhh, that’s a great way to use 3N 😀
I was just looking at my 3N lipglass in hopes of pairing it with a neutral lipstick but it’s gone bad now…..has a funny smell :-(.
Oh noooo! 🙁
Ugh you have such nice lips! I’m jealous lol.
Thanks for posting lippies combinations. Keep them coming! 🙂
Aww, thanks, Kayc 🙂
I love my 3N lipstick so so much.
Are theses still available… probably not… oh well i might check out the LUminary lusterglass… also i was wondering if you have ever shopped online from allcosmeticswholesale.com ???? I heard they have a lot of mac stuff at great prices. Thanks as always for your site its my addiction to check each day…
I was transfixed by this website. Seriously, I forgot to eat my breakfast. Alas, they do not have Firespot, the One that Got Away for me.
LOL!
Firespot was so pretty. Why don’t they repromote THAT one?!!
Probably not, unfortunately 🙁 I’ve never bought from them personally!
Luminary is gorgeous, and it is a total must-have!
i love rediscovering, is that a word, old favorites. but for the n collection, how i wish i could’ve gotten more.
N was a really good launch! I think it was a very nice, natural collection.
I have 2N and 3N too and love them. I love this icy pink look on you!
Thanks, Kate!
i loved the n collection so much….probably my fave collection yet…still wishing i had gotten a hold of a 3n lipglass and neutral pink shadow…
Aww, I hope they’ll repromote those two for you!
totally o/t, but i just received my HK package today, and i am in LOVE with popster tlc!!! it might even help soothe the pain of my lost high 90’s slimshine.
YAYYY! Glad you got it and love it! It’s sooo perfect for everyday.
The N collection is soooo wonderful. Why couldn’t they have been perm!?
I love 2N and 4N Lippies. I think High Tea is similar to 2N if memory serves me.
I love going through my stash for new combinations. I’ll def try this!
BTW.. I love these ‘retro’ posts. Do some Lure/Bait!!
I know! The N Collection would have been great colors to make permanent!
I love 3N lipstick, but on me, 3N is more similar to Blankety. In fact I don’t even think I need the two they’re so alike!
2N is my favourite lipglass of all time so far.. it’s the perfect nude lippie that looks great alone or paired over almost any lipstick! I wish it was still available to buy new.
That’s really good, though! It means you don’t have to worry about duping it!
Love it! Do you ever wear lipstick without the lipgloss LOL I wish MAC would bring out the N Collection again. Thats one collection I think I would have went crazy getting. Now Im sad lol
Veryyy rarely! I’m a sucker for shimmer/glossiness!
3N lippie was a gem, I wish I had bpught 2!
I KNOW!
