Saz does Liptember

A record of all my different looks for Liptember - an event raising money and awareness for women's mental health via Lifeline. Please consider sponsoring me at the link below. As well as selfies, I reblog about mental health and post thoughts about my own struggles. var sc_project=10021823; var sc_invisible=1; var sc_security="ac06e483";

In honour of #BiVisibilityDay, here's a picture of me with my straight, cis, husband, in which I continue to be #bisexual. #bisexualculture #bisexuality #bisexualpride #bisexualityisreal https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFGsBPDBPH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d11mu29ackb8

#Liptember day 11: suffragettes When I was given this prompt I had something à bit more elaborate in mind, but I wasn't feeling up to it.

#Liptember day 10: Adelaide Show! Here's my tribute to the strawberry van, one of my favourite show time traditions. I'd kill for their strawberry mousse right now. #makeup #beauty #artmakeup #lipstick #lipart #30daysoflipart #30daychallenge #lipoftheday #motd #lotd #budgetmakeup #budgetbeauty #drugstoremakeup #mentalhealth #mentalillness #fundraising #charity #fuckdepression #adelaideshow #strawberryvan #strawberriesgalore https://www.instagram.com/p/BnmXrMeDZ9c/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8gy0952si4mh

#Liptember day 9: pixelation Look, my hand is not very steady, and some day I might accept that and stop doing things that require straight lines.

#Liptember day 7: Twilight! I'm not a #Twilight fan, but this was suggested/requested by @sashakrieg, who is one of the best and most positive people I know. Somehow has managed to make me feel valued for as long as I've known her, which is incredible since she was 8 when I met her. So yeah, I'd do anything she asked. So this one is based on the covers of the first and last books in the series. I was going to do the chess pieces from #BreakingDawn too, but by the time Friday rolled around I was just not feeling up to it. #makeup #beauty #artmakeup #lipstick #lipart #30daysoflipart #30daychallenge #lipoftheday #motd #lotd #budgetmakeup #budgetbeauty #drugstoremakeup #mentalhealth #mentalillness #fundraising #charity #fuckdepression https://www.instagram.com/p/BniyFr_Ag8u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vdjn1ptov79e

Woooo, it took me less than a week to fall behind this year! Here's #Liptember day 6: cross stitch! In my defence, Thursday was an awful #mentalhealth day. That, combined with insomnia-fueled slowness, meant that it took most of the day a several naps for me to finish that very small piece of stitching. Then Friday wasn't much better and before I knew it, time had got away from me. #makeup #beauty #artmakeup #lipart #30daysoflipart #30daychallenge #lipoftheday #crossstitch #textileart #embroidery https://www.instagram.com/p/BniwskDhPp2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lxrcyw32mcx5

#Liptember day 5: Winter! I didn't want to do your standard snowy scene or whatever, and what else do I associate with winter? #AFL! Of course that's a @sydneyswans foot, because they're my boys (and soon, girls?) and they're definitely winning the premiership this year. Also, Buddy Franklin is one of my #breakthestigma idols #makeup #beauty #artmakeup #lipstick #lipart #30daysoflipart #30daychallenge #aussierules #sherrin #footy #football #sydneyswans #bloods #cheertheredandthewhite #mentalhealth #mentalillness #fundraising #charity https://www.instagram.com/p/BnWpJCsDYsE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m8q5crrnr60a

#Liptember day 4: geek culture I deliberately left this prompt vague in case I felt like making some scathing commentary. But I didn't, so here's a tribute to my favourite fictional artist - Sabine Wren. #makeup #beauty #artmakeup #lipstick #lipart #30daysoflipart #30daychallenge #lipoftheday #motd #lotd #budgetmakeup #budgetbeauty #liquidsuede #drugstoremakeup #mentalhealth #mentalillness #fundraising #charity #starwars #starwarsrebels #sabinewren #mandalorian https://www.instagram.com/p/BnURc7cjUP8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8t798jc71shn

#Liptember day 3: chatterbox! This what @blessed_cheesemaker's suggestion and I have no idea why I agreed to it. It was fucking hard.

#Liptember Day 1: Birmingham! Fitting that my adopted city came up first. I love it here, and it has been great for my mental health. I'm as healthy as I've ever been at the moment and I have no doubt living here is part of why. Top lip represents the @libraryofbham - a frankly beautiful building that always makes me happy to see. Bottom lip represents the Brum canals - more canals than Venice! I didn't feel up to attempting a long boat... Maybe next year #makeup #beauty #artmakeup #lipstick #lipart #30daysoflipart #30daychallenge #igersbirmingham #lotd #motd #makeupoftheday #lipoftheday #budgetmakeup #budgetbeauty #drugstoremakeup #charity #fundraising #fuckdepression #depression #anxiety #mentalhealth #mentalillness #morecanalsthanvenice #birmingham #birminghamuk #brum #bhamgram #thisisbirmingham #modernarchitecture #canals #birminghamlibrary (at Birmingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnMvja6jyJi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=auoavm94wxzk

Here's the challenge I've set for myself for this #Liptember. I took all the suggestions and randomised them (except for @kaseyb21's holidays idea, which I left in chronological order) et voilà ! Stay tuned to see if I can stick to it! #makeup #beauty #artmakeup #lipstick #lipart #30daysoflipart #30daychallenge #igersbirmingham #lotd #motd #makeupoftheday #lipoftheday #budgetmakeup #budgetbeauty #mentalhealth #mentalillness #fundraising #fuckdepression #depression #anxiety #drugstoremakeup #charity https://www.instagram.com/p/BnLy3Q_gt70/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ks7lmio1nkpr

Day 8: RUOK?

Yellow lipstick should be banned.

I had a whole long post about R U OK Day planned, but even in my head it sounded preachy. Suffice it to say that the mental health of everyone I know is important to me, I will never judge you if you are struggling, and you can come to me any time you need someone to talk to. I may not always know what to say, but I will always listen.

Day 7: Tiger stripes.

So a couple of weeks ago I had a completely ridiculous argument about whether the quality of the makeup depends on the quality of the product or the skill of the artist. This one proves me wrong. It is flat out impossible to do lip art with Australis Velourlips. It’s just not workable enough. Nyx Liquid Suede, however, paints like a dream.

Day 6: More ombre practice, featuring possibly the shittest lipstick I own. So smeary. Lesson learned, no lip art with Models Prefer.
