LOTD Avon + Clinique, lined with MAC

I have way too many lipsticks and lipstick samples to ever use them up in a lifetime, even though I have three daughters and others with whom I share lipsticks. Why! I try as much as possible to buy department store products always with a gwp, and generally that includes a lippie or two, and often I'd buy a lippie as part of my qualifying purchase. So given a number of lipsticks and a number of pencils, it is possible to come up with almost an unlimited number of colors.

How or why did I come up with this one?
Applied in this order
I wanted to try or re-try the Avon sample I had. It is a fuchsia, but when I started to apply it, I could tell it wasn't vibrant enough. It is more of a spring color than a winter.

Then, my new gwp Clinique lippie, more of a plummed brown pink, was next to it on the counter. I looked at it and thought, this might work.

I didn't feel like the edges were strong enough, so I did the edges with the MAC pencil. I too almost prefer to do my pencils this way as I have some control over how much pencil shows or shows through vs. doing the pencil first. Plus I can get the edge sharper without looking made up. See my earlier post on Andrea Claire.

How long does it take?
It's a really fast technique. The longest time is just to determine the colors.

Colors
Balm: AL -- this was left from earlier today, but I like the balm as a base
Lipstick
Top: Avon Royal Fuchsia
Lower: Clinique Rose Aglow smooshed
Lined edges: MAC Soar pencil

Here's how it looks full face:
