Helloooo everyone and happy Sunday! I hope that all of you are having a lovely weekend full of fun, friends, and family. Today, I thought that we would talk about a lipstick that I have no genuine idea why I bought, but I figured it would be beneficial to someone out there to see the swatch for. We’re talking NYX’s Liquid Suede lipstick in Stone Fox. Take a looksee and let’s discuss:
First of all, I love NYX products. My all time favorite shade of red lippie is NYX and I will be sure to write about it later, because it is divine. This shade for me, though? Not so much. I was stoked when the Liquid Suede line came out, because it offered an array of different jewel toned shades that all looked gorgeous. It also featured the color seen above, Stone Fox.
The Liquid Suede line came out at just the right time, because that’s when jewel tones and black/grey lipstick was becoming extremely popular. I had seen dark grey and black lippie shades all over the blogosphere, and I really wanted to give it a try. I am an emo kid at heart, and the idea of wearing a dark, almost costume style lip and have it be seen as fashion forward instead of weird was exhilarating to me.
Unfortunately, the exhilaration of the prospect of a charcoal lip was short lived. I tried this shade on at home and it looked like SHIT on me. Seriously, it looked like I smeared car grease all over my mouth and it was anything but fashion forward. It’s a damn shame, because all of the girls that I have seen rocking this trend look stunning. So, why not me? Well, there’s a few reasons:
- This color looked a lot “much” with my face full of piercings.
- This color looked abysmal when paired with my bright red hair.
- And, at the end of the day, your girl was just not meant for charcoal lips.
Whomp, whomp.
In a desperate attempt to get this lippie off once I realized that it looked like I ate paint, I applied a lavender shade of chapstick over top of it, because this product doesn’t budge once it dries. Shockingly, the Stone Fox mixed with the lavender looked like a really pretty, smokey lilac and I loved it. BUT, ain’t nobody got time for that and despite liking the concocted color, it just wasn’t for me. That story was just an idea for the girls interested in giving this shade a go. YOU’RE WELCOME! :*)
I do like trying new lipstick colors but, true to my namesake, Lil Red will always love red lipstick the best! How do you feel about black and jewel toned lipstick? Could you pull off charcoal colored lips? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

I own this lipstick and I LOVE it so much. It’s perfect for those days I need a bit of a confidence boost. I honestly like the suede lipsticks WAY better than the lingerie ones. These dry so much better and aren’t as sticky. Have you tried the color vintage? That’s my most worn color!

Vintage comes out as a deep dusky purple on me. So funny how different skin tones make lipsticks look different

I was actually recommended to go this shade. I LOVE IT. I even went to go get a gray lipstick by Kat Von D. I just like being eccentric sometimes. I even have blue and green lipsticks.

I do love a grey lip probably as much as you love your red!! The colour swatched does look a bit dark for me I prefer the lighter grey as they suit me more x

The darkest I’ve gone is a burgundy colour. I don’t think I could pull that charcoal one off , lol.
It would probably make me look like I’m hungry.

I have had dreams about rocking a shade like this….Alas they make me look deathly ill. And like I am a really bad ugly reincarnate of Morticia. But I admire others who can wear this shade! ❤

Thanks ! I can try . I think sometimes it also depends on the formula . I recently tried a glittery black and the formula was so streak I doubt it would’ve worked for anyone.
