Smashbox glosses. They have a 6 pack you can buy for $25.00 I think? I love all of the colors!

Smashbox lip glosses are great, they aren't tacky and are smooth. I like to wear them when I am not wanting a lot of color.
I prefer the Buxom glosses from Bare Escentuals. They deposit more color, are smooth and not tacky, plus they are tingly but not too much.

I tried those (Smash box) long ago, they are nice but tend to be so pink (these days) and my lips are not pretty enough to look good in pink..Bare Ecentuals has some nice colors..I always go for the black honey..it's plumps them up a notch..I was not born with a sexy pout :( so I have to kinda cheat :)

By far, MAC has the absolute best lipsticks and gloss but I have a great find that was given to me by a MAC makeup artist. Try NYX lipsticks; while the quality is not as great as MAC, the colors are many and the price is amazing. I also love the BUXOM line from Bare Escentuals but do get complaints if you kiss anyone who doesn't like their lips to tingle!lol

My favorite every day lipstick is Benefit Silky Finish in "Good-to-go-go" (a plum nude colour) or "Rocket Pop" (natural pink nude colour). The lipstick is so creamy and soft! The downside is it isn't long lasting colour, it is definitely a re-apply lipstick - but it feels lovely and hydrating, it is sheer but has good colour. It doesn't get cakey or feathery.
http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/silky-finish-lipstick
I'm a big fan of Shishiedo products and I love their lipsticks because they're so lush (without being heavy or cakey or feathering) they go on and stay creamy looking. I like "Blush", "Roseate", "Sweet Pea" and "Dragon"

And I just tried this product by Urban Decay recently...it is SUPER concentrated colour lipstick in a pencil form. I have "Fbomb" :)

try using a make up primer or makeup base! my face tends to get kind of sweaty when im wearing foundation, so i understand the melty look. the silicone in a makeup primer helps to hold the foundation in place...i use the base and then a powder over that for days like that...the powder doesnt melt off as quickly :)

It has a little bit of shine, and a tiny bit of sparkle. It is the shade that I was wearing in my gallery photos. I almost want to run out and buy more, because I know how they love to get rid of my favorite shades/brands.

Do you have oily skin?
I do. I use this sheer matifying powder. It's oil free and has SPF. It lasts for most of the day, but if I go out in the evening I have to reapply it. I like it because it is very lightweight.

O yes, I love that bitten look, but you have a point about the kissing..Kissing is always a problem with just about any lipstick or gloss and I haven't found a long wear lipstick that doesn't dry me out or have colors that look good on me..Part of the point is that your lips look very kissable..at least that's a biggie for me :)

I've owned Juicy Tubes in the past. I liked the colour, but found it a little sticky. If it was too windy, my hair would stick to my lips.
I usually wear MAC Red these days. I've also liked Russian Red and (of course) Ruby Woo. :)

Just a hint of vanilla for flavor. Very shiny, the glitter is more like a shimmer. And yes, slightly sticky before it sets.

I do not care for any kind of gloss or lipstick from Lancome. The lipsticks tend to get overly dry and their glosses are too sticky for my taste and leave an odd feel on your lips.
My personal favorite gloss of course is MAC and a tie for
http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/166/1765/Dazzleglass/index.tmpl in love alert
and
http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/166/14179/Wonder-Woman-Lipglass/index.tmpl in wonder woman.....hint hint if you like this one buy a few cause it is getting discontinued soon.
As for Lipsticks I love MAC as well and my faves are
http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/168/19171/Glitter-and-Ice-Lipstick/index.tmpl in such flare
and
http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/168/310/Lipstick/index.tmpl in MAC red!!
http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/168/966/Viva-Glam-Lipstick/index.tmpl in Viva Glam l
The pigments are top notch and really rich as with all MAC products. The only other make up line I think holds a flame to MAC is MUF (make up forever) and some urban decay/smash box products as far as pigment and durability.

I use maybelline lip stain and then put Kiss My Face mint chapstick over it. The mint is so melty it's almost a gloss so it has some sheen and keeps my lips soft. It's easier to apply with a fingertip than straight out of the tube.
Warn your butch lover before they try to apply it like regular chapstick and end up with globs of chapstick around their shiny lady lips. I made this mistake with my ex once. He was not a happy boi.

if you're not happy with the shape of your lips, this is a great little tip to make it a bit fuller. Get a very good creme based concealer and very carefully redefine and make the perfect defined outline (for a fuller lip), concentrate on your cupid bow, take a brush and blend concealer into foundation then set with translucent powder,, then use a brush with your lipstick and fill then in (a brush gives you more control) and/or then a lipglass..it's amazing..no rilly, try it!

The absolute best lip balm I've ever used is one you can easily make. You can buy her kit if you like or purchase you're own items in bulk. You can even buy the tubes or if you add more coconut butter (this is fantastic for your skins and lips) its softer and you need a little tin pot.
In the video she talks about lotion bars. Rubbing these in your hands or on skin. You can always add essential oils and if so inclined perhaps add color. At least its all natural. safe, won't dry your skin/lips out the way mineral oil based products can and no animal testing.
Trust me once you use this you'll fall in love.

I have to say that I tried this product a couple of years ago and didn't like it as it dried my lips terribly, but they've made improvements to it that help with dryness so I thought I'd try it again.
Covergirl's Outlast. The stain is more like a gloss now in texture than a stick and the moisturizer sticks can be bought separately if you go through it quicker than the actual stain.
I've got three or four colors, but I really, really like Natural Blush. It's enough color to let the world know I have it on, but it goes with everything.
The trick is to catch and wipe off any smudges or ooopsies right away, as it seals in the color in less than 60 seconds.

I really like Lancome's Color Design lipstick in the shade "Poodle Skirt." The color name is ridiculous but it is a shimmery, frosted pink that stays on a good while. It has great moisturizers in it and applies nicely.
It is a little pricey but well worth it.

I'm a bit of a lipstick/gloss maniac, I have so many! :)
Currently my 3 favourites are:
Revlon Just Bitten (Lip Stain) - it's not as bright as a lipstick, but still leaves a nice colour and stays put for long. I have it in some kind of fuchsia colour.
http://www.revlon.com/Revlon-Home/Products/Lips/Lipcolor/Revlon-Just-Bitten-Lipstain-and-Balm-By-Colorstay.aspx
Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush. The colour is not particularly special, but I love this lipgloss because it smells amazing and tastes sweat and fruity. I'm always looking for lipglosses that actually taste sweet- they're very hard to find! (although my lovers never seem to like it I think) ;)

My favorite right now (cuz I go thru seasons) is by Smashbox, Star Fruit. It only comes in the starter kit with some other items (really cool eyeshadows and blush) so its not available unless you purchase the kit. I'll be looking for a new one soon.
Best lip balm, BeautiControl's Lip Balm/Lip Mask duo
Best lip stick, Estee Lauder's, Ripe Papaya...looks like a lip gloss too.
Nadeest, those are so great too, you mean the roll on ones right?

No, these are not roll-on ones, per se. They come in a glass tube, with an applicator that you just put on your lips, and slide it along them, to apply the gloss. I hadn't known that they have roll-on ones, to be honest.

I love so many different lipsticks but I looooooooooooove Korres lipsticks the best. They are like a gloss/lipstick in one. The color is a little sheer but you can build it. No drying or upset lips. I have eczema and sometimes get in on my mouth and the Korres lipsticks are the only ones I can wear when that happens.

Hurraw? Will look this up also.

I really love the new Urban Decay lipstick they have out. They've had different formulas at different times in history, and then they didn't have any lipsticks for a while and I was a very sad girl.
Well, the new revolution lipsticks are AMAZING!!!! I got F Bomb which is a blood red. It's not an every day color, and it IS pricey, but worth every penny.
For every day I really do like tinted lip balms, I will have to try some of these suggestions. :)

This is my latest obsession in lip gloss. Clinique Black Honey! Goes on fairly sheer but with a hint of deep plum. Super glossy, lasts a long time:

I bought some of the tinted lip balm by Burt's Bees, last summer:
I've almost used all of it, but I have loved the color (Rose).
I have the rose one as well and love it! I haven't tried any other colors, but the feel of it and the sheerness of color is something I love.

It's not a stain but Covergirl makes their Outlast line, which does stay pretty well and comes with a gloss stick to moisturize. They have a ton of shades that are barely there. Check it out the next time you're in a store.

I came here to post about Outlast lipsticks! They stay on perfectly for 4-5 hours and then "well enough" for another couple of hours...
I use them for liner (kind of-- i create the line, but then i fill in with Outlast also, then layer on Cover Girl "Continuous Color" solid stick, then finish with the gloss stick)
(the applicator is not pointy but my fundamentals of painting professor drilled it into us that we should be able to create precision lines with any size/shape of brush just by controlling pressure)
Shades=
Outlast: 740, 595, 559, 549, 512, 521
Continuous color: 505, 540, 415, 420, 435
Combination of Outlast 549 and Continuous Color 415 is a nice neutral pink

They have stopped making my favorite lip stain - Revlon Balm Stain. Now it is just Revlon Balm. I don't know if it still has the properties of a stain and it was just a name change, or if it was a formula change . . . but it makes me so upset! That stuff was truly "stain"ing.
It's not a stain, but I do like Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Plum. It also comes in a Peony color which is very natural looking on me. It has considerably more color and moisture than what I expected from what is essentially chapstick. In fact, I would put it way out of chapstick's league altogether.

I found ELF Gotta Glow lip tint and it's pretty good. It stains your lips a natural looking pink after you apply and blot. I applied a few more coats to experiment and the pink color after the shine wore off was a kind of rosy pink that my bff and coworkers said looked good on me. I saw a lip stain by ELF but it was red and it looked too intimidating to me. I love red lips on other women but I think I'm too pale?

I think the very best lipstick would be free lipstick!!
I don't wear it but just read that this Saturday, July 29th, is the:
FREE M.A.C NATIONAL LIPSTICK DAY!
https://media.allure.com/photos/5979fd00cb7b307a76a8280a/16:9/w_1003/Mac-Free-Lipstick-Instagram-2.png
If there's one thing that's better than M.A.C. lipstick it's free M.A.C. lipstick. I mean, who would pass up a tube of Ruby Woo or the new and chic Bright Aqua Blue, especially when there's no price tag attached?
And if you're anything like us, we probably had your attention at "free M.A.C. lipstick," so get ready: the makeup company is celebrating National Lipstick Day on Saturday, July 29 by giving away free tubes in stores.
All you have to do is show up at a local M.A.C. store or retailer to pick up your free full tube (read: not a sample size).
And in case you're wondering if this is too good to be true, there's no catch or fine print. (This isn't the first time M.A.C. has offered their #MACLipsLipsLips campaign; they gave away free tubes last month too — and it was glorious.)

Bite. All of Bite's products.
Lipstick and liquid lipstick -$30 cdn
All are made 100% food safe. That means you could eat it. Because, frankly, you do.
No fragrances. No crap. Ingestible. Amazing moisture on the lips, never drying. It's been cleaning up at beauty awards through 2016 and 2017.
They are now starting to make "beauty sticks" (multipurpose for eyes or lips or cheeks) as well.
I bought their Agave Lip triad a sephora because my lips were falling off and I loved it so I bought the travel set of lipsticks. Will buy them over anything else now.
I bought them for a friend who is allergic to everything with scent and can rarely find any kind of make up to wear. She can wear them.
So, I'm thrilled. Canuck company, made in Canada (factory exceeds minimum wage with very good benefits package) with Canadian concepts of food safety, award winning, fabulous results, great colours, small batch production, not tested on animals, very good colour payoff, staying power (4 hours), non-drying.
"Bite is made by Bite: Every one of its lip innovations is handcrafted in its Canadian facility, and made with natural, organic, good-for-you, ingredients. Bite does not contain gluten, sulfates, parabens, phthalates or petrochemicals (not even silicone)."
Those things are important to me if I'm going to pick a brand, I'm very fussy.
The lip balm and lip sticks are not vegan. Lip balm contains lanolin, lip stick contains bee's wax. Liquid lipstick is vegan.

In my opinion, absolutely.
I've worn Mac for years and find the formula (especially the mattes) to be very long-lasting, not drying, and super pigmented. They have a bit of a vanilla smell and seem to stay put pretty well.
I actually just picked up a new Mac color ("Chili) I've been wanting to try and the folks I work with are in LOVE with it. It's a retro red with a bit of burnt sienna undertones and goes well with my red hair and freckles:

I'm pretty partial to Sephora's own Cream Lip Stain (https://www.makeupalley.com/product/showreview.asp/ItemId=143570/Cream-Lip-Stain-(all-shades)/Sephora-/Lipstick) in Always Red. It's a punchy red, matte, and smells so good!
https://i.pinimg.com/564x/55/ed/b6/55edb6d291767adde865ea15f9f65c8a.jpg
It is a bit drying, as stains are wont to be, but the staying power is pretty amazing and to me, that's the more important part. It's a true red and I think it's flattering on nearly all skin tones, but especially darker or caramel ones. Has kind of a retro 1950's housewife feel to it and depending on your personal style, I think it could work for everyday if you're more rockabilly femme or to punch up an evening outfit. It also pairs nicely with a lighter eye and casual wear if you're just looking to give your outfit that little extra oomph!
And very reasonably priced (I think) at around $12 USD, or $15 CAD.

Ok, who in here has tried the Fenty "Stunna" lippie?
I am super curious but have about 100 red lipsticks and I just need to live vicariously through one of you at this point LOL

Is MAC really worth the price? I want a nice red and everyday nude and everyone has recommended MAC but damn if I’m cheap and MAC is pricey.
I didn't know much about MAC or lipstick so I took a femme shopping with me when I went to purchase a MAC product as a gift...she gave it a rave review so I coughed up the few extra bucks and sprang for it!

A friend told me about this, after I asked her what brand she was wearing. It lasted all thru lunch. It's not very expensive and stays on well.
And, who wouldn't like the name?

It is in their current line, just not every place has it. I finaly found it at Ulta. And if you bought one lip product you got another free. That was last Sat.

Yeah, I have found Ulta is really good at keeping up with Nyx's current stuff. I will have to make a trip. :)

Love Burt's pomegranate! Except I avoid Burt's now that it's no longer all natural and was bought out by Clorox. Just warning you if you care about that kind of thing.

My favs are Kat Von D's Foiled Love in Adora (red) and Valentine (pink). They are discontinued though so I try to stock up on what I can find on eBay and Amazon. They're both still pretty easy to find. They have a wonderful metallic shine to them but it's not overwhelming, just enough to make you sit up and take notice. And the pigment is gorgeously intense.
Huh?! I had no idea! I thought Burt's was all natural! I finally weaned my arse off Strawberry Chapstick... that stuff is addictive ... and now Burt's bad too??? :(
Can you recommend something else? Umm... preferably sans gloss please! :p lol

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Badger lip balms are awesome and all natural and I don't *THINK* have much of a gloss to them. Badger products (http://www.badgerbalm.com)

I went and picked up my Birthday gift at Sephora, and its a Bite Beauty (my brand of lippy) Chai colour lipstick with matching lip liner (twist lipliner, self sharpening).
And it is the exact colour I was looking for! <3

I second that emotion! I got a gloss as a gift several years ago and loved it!

The Lip Bar has the best lip gloss I have ever tried. The company is woman owned and makes vegan, cruelty-free products. They sell this in Target now too. Take a look.

I tend to go more for nudes and I bought Trophy Wife. Love it!

In the Jan/Feb issue of Money Magazine I came across an article entitled Why Is Frida Kahlo On This $8 Nail Polish ? It appears reasonable priced and easily available (the article mentions CVS stores). It's a interesting article if anyone wants to read it but I'm curious if anyone has used any of the items in the cosmetic line and how they liked them?

I have one of the Frida lipsticks and basically you're paying for packaging. The lipstick was terrible quality and not even close to the color it showed on the tube. I got it at CVS for $8.

I really like revlon's super lustrous lipstick in pink velvet over the NYX lip liner in the color bedrose. I'm a pink lipstick kinda girl.

My absolute fave these days are Revlon's "iced amethyst" and Burt's Bees "evening glow".
I used to be a clinique girl, but I read a few articles that demonstrated to me that I didn't have to break the bank to acquire the same look. I wonder if I could manage a link here...I'm such a luddite!

Isn't she just precious? :stillheart: :stillheart: :stillheart:
I love how she say's she asked herself, when asked who gave her permission to buy her own lipstick and where she bought it. She's simply a darling little girl.

Any new tips?
I use extra virgin olive oil for beauty treatments or when I cook food at home and I even use a teaspoon of it in my first cup of hydration for the day.
Here is a link to learn how to use extra virgin olive oil and a recipe for your own DIY evoo lip balm. EVOO has many healing properties. :)
