Lipstick Lectures
What was your favorite lipstick in college?
Mine were MAC's Russian Red and Revlon's Rum Raisin. I discovered MAC's Spice lip liner during my senior year.
I wore this with just a smidge of lip gloss.
Those were my grunge years.

My lipstick in college was Revlon's Sandalwood Beige. Which makes me want to run out to a drugstore and buy one just for old times' sake!
I'm still in university (almost done!) and my overall favorites for the last seven years would probably have to be MAC's Russian Red and Giddy.
My favorite lipsticks in college were: Chanel Russet Moon, MAC Desire, and L'Oreal Real Raisin, and Clinique Black Honey Lip Gloss.
It was definitely my grunge phase, but all those colors, while dramatic, are very wearable and I stand by them to this day!
loreal wine and dine. red, but kind of deep. still wear it. but in college, i wore it a lot.
It was a Clinque Bamboo Pink virtual dupe, but I'll be darned if I can remember the name. I was boring even back then.
When I was in university, I didn't really wear lipstick, mostly lipgloss. My favourite lipgloss was Lancome Juicy Tube in "Simmer", it was a US-only edition and had my Dad buy me a couple when he went to the US for a visit. The 2 lipsticks I actually had during those years was a Rimmel "Heather Shimmer" and Lancome "Pink Diamond".
I was pretty much a drugstore brand makeup ho' in college. But I seem to remember I loved one by Max Factor called Pink Ribbons.
Shoot, college was the time when I was practically experimenting with all sorts of lipstick! There were two memorable ones from Fresh - one was Rouge Catalan, and the other was this brownish plum (I think it was Cranberry-Something) plus MAC's Del Rio, Clinique's Surprise (immortalized in a now-infamous "makeover" spread for my college paper), Stila's Natalie, and a matte plum from Chanel that I nicked at the duty free. Then there was the Club Monaco makeup moment... what can I say, it was the Lewinsky years...
And I remember wearing Bobbi Brown lip gloss because somebody on Makeupalley said that it was highly recommended... by porn star Kobe Tai, who says that it has (ahem) endurance. *blush*
When I was in college I got hipped to Mac's clear lipglass. I LOVED this stuff and wore it religiously.
Clinique Berry freeze lipstick and Bobbi Brown Petal lipgloss..made for a gorgeous pink. Wore a lot of CLinique in college
Mine's Clinique's Almost Lipstick in Black Honey. Blogged about it here - http://www.beautyholicsanonymous.com/2009/02/what-was-your-early-favourite-lipstick/
:)
MAC Desire. It was also during the grunge years.
My everyday shades from college have maintained position in my rotation: Clinique's Bamboo Pink and Black Honey. During my junior year, I discovered reds. Oh how I could get some attention in my Estee Lauder Real Red.
Ah, the grunge years! I was religious to L'Oreal Mica-this lavender nude that was super pretty and made me look...well, a bit anemic! Exactly what I was going for.
I just finished up college a year ago, but when I did wear lipstick it was Lancome Sheer Magnetic Mischievous. I usually stuck to gloss.
L'Oreal Mica, L'Oreal Coffee Bean (or was it Revlon?)
I'm too old to have worn lipgloss in college, gloss just wasn't around then much.
In college I alternated between Clinique Black Honey and Revlon Coffee Bean ~ still classics in my book!
