So.. are you more of a gloss-girl, or are you a lipstick addict? Do you feel more comfortable wearing lip stains? I'm really trying to find a good lip stain.. to achieve the "just bitten" look :P But I've only seen at the body shop.. What are your favourite products for lips' make-up?

I am really boring in the lip dept, partly because my lips are uneven and I am too lazy to fix it with lip pencil and partly because a lot of things make my lips swell up. My face stain is Stila's Cherry Crush, it is more neutrally than Benefit's Benetint (which is a very blue red shade). I hear Urban Decay's Lip Envy are amazing, but I haven't tried them. I am more of a gloss person, because it is easy and doesn't really get on your teeth ;)

I used to absolutely hate lipstick, 'cause I'm super messy and I get them everywhere, but then I tried some stuff that people recommended and I ended up really liking them. I think my favorite lip product is L'oreal Colour Juice stick, and it's actually to me a cross between gloss and lipstick. It doesn't stay on very long, but because it's not super lipsticky it's easy to put on and do touchups. I also just tried one of MAC's lipsticks and I really like it. It's from the colour forms collection, Inner Hue http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2991116?Category=&a...

But I really do want to try some more of their lipsticks. I've heard NYC makes some good ones. I'm going to the store tomorrow so I'll probably try some out.

But, I also am a sucker for gloss. I think my favorites, even though I usually can't stand neutrogena, are their lip tints. They're very pretty and really hydrate my lips.

for me.. well, i love both lipstick and lipgloss, it depends on the look I want to achieve.. I usually go for lipsticks (matte and creamy.. love them) when I want to look more natural, and gloss for when I feel special :P
Lol, I have quite a lot of favourites.. I feel bad if i try one and dont like it :) My favourite glosses are, in fact, care-glosses.. I really, really like Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss from Clinique, have 4 of them and.. want more :P and I purely love High Colour Gloss from estee lauder.. i love the shape, the ease of application and my favourite colour for a gloss, Quartz.. :P And now I have a huuuuge crush for Stila's lip glazes. They recently came to Romania and wanted to try all! No matter how dark they seem to be, when you put them on the lips they look like a fresh, lovely hint of colour.. Apricot, Vanilla, Grapefruit and Strawberry are what I own right now. Little quantity for the price, but they're totally worth it :P
I also love dearly Silk Gloss from Max Factor, Hi-Shine Lip treatment (body shop), creme des levres from bourjois (i know i wrote a review also:P) and the beauty balm in chocolate bunny from too faced! aww, that's simply delicious..
But really, my all-time favourite gloss is Shiny licious, from Maybelline. Beats Juicy Tubes anytime, anywhere. They're just awesome, sheer and juicy, suitable for any occasion or look.. Of course they dont last long, but I feel the need of re-applying lipgloss anyway, so that's something that never bothered me.. I only care about the way it looks on my lips. So if it's light and.. sorbet-like, I love it. I only hate those lipglosses that look like glue, and feel heavy on the lips.. like Collistar.

My favourite lipstick now is L'Oreal, Accord naturels, in Nude. It is so creamy, so gorgeous, exactly my shade of nude. I also love love love and adore Rouge Interdit, from Givenchy. It's the best texture and best product I've ever tried for my lips until now, and I have the Only Beige shade. It is pricey, indeed, and the shade is really nice, a little lighter than my natural lips, so l'Oreal can be a good substitute.

And sooooorry for being so long :)

I just tried the L'oreal Made for me naturals in cashmere (I saw that Critty wears it a lot and I loved how it looked on her) with my Physician's Formula plumping potion and I love it! I think L'oreal is my new favorite drugstore brand, I haven't been dissapointed with one of their products yet.

Oh how I love me some Cashmere - if you want something a little lighter to wear with a smoky eye - Taffeta is really pretty too! I heart L'Oreal too :)

I absolutely adore Sephora's Lip Gloss Pencil. It looks shimmery, but goes on like lipstick, and has good staying power. And I use Lorac's Vitamin E stick morning and night as a lip conditioner. As for glosses, I like Cargo's Blu_Ray palette http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=... . They feel great and have nice colors. I'm not a huge fan of gloss, as it tends to be sticky, and I have super long, straight hair, and if you've ever gone outside on a slightly breezy day and had your hair wrap around your head thanks to the wind, when it sticks to your lipgloss, it's not cool at all!

Eau de gloss from bourjois promises to make the 'hair sticked to the lips' look history.. it's really light and.. sorbet-like, but what i really can't stand is that incredibly small, thin, narrow, pint-sized brush! you have to dip it several times to apply the product to your lips as you should..

You ought to try the lipglosses L'Occitane carries. I just love these 2 lip glosses I bought today, one rose petal and one with honey and lemon. they're so creamy and rich, sheer, but they still colour your lips evenly, they've got that milky shine I love, and not that high-gloss, oily finish.
I like Rose Petal more, even though I don't like sweets made of roses or their scent, but it's not artificial or gross.. honey & lemon, on the other hand, is kind of pale, at least for me, but has some gold flecks to it, it's very very similar to Body Shop's hi-shine treatment in gold glimmer, but not as sticky and a bit more glossy. anyway.. LOOOOVE them. 15 ml each. they're enriched with shea butter and do not contain mineral oil and lanolin.

mmm, I got a new Gloss Menthol from Bourjois. <3 <3 <3

I have a few new favorite glosses. One of them is the Philosophy Red Velvet Cake. It tastes and smells delicious and looks really pretty. Very sheer, but it kind of enhances my natural lip color.

I also bought the Stila Gift of Glaze set. It has (I think) 6 glosses, 4 of their popular ones, and 2 new ones. It's my first experience with Stila glosses, but I like them. I've tried 3 of them so far: Vanilla, Apricot and Raisin, and raisin's my favorite. I'm not sure if I'd buy more, because my favorite rimmel gloss is stiff competition and about a 5th of the price, but I do like them.
