Your Best Lipstick/Gloss?
 

I'm always looking (& curious) for something amazing and would love to hear what's working out there. Currently favorite is "Desire" by MAC but open to something new..please share:tea:

Omygosh, is it still available? I am trying to find the original MAC "Velvet" from several years ago..so missing it :spruceup:

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

Laura Mercier Redwood liner with Persimmon lip glace [which has been discontinued! <sigh> I guess I'm looking for a new color, too . . . }

Personally, I have to go with just a cheap classic Wet 'n Wild Red lipstick. I like all the expensive stuff, but something keeps me going back to Wet 'n Wild.

Smitten sounds intriguing is it red?

Not really red:

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.

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" :)

Personally I love the tinted lip glosses from Bath and Body Works..I especially love the mentha ones..and He loves that they are all flavored! ;)

Thanks Princess. I will have to check that out. I just hate having that "melting" look at a couple of hours. Seems no matter what I use it happens.

now that's pretty, kind of a hue of raisin. Is it matte?

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.

Just reading all your posts inspired me and I purchased something I've never tried a MAC product called Dazzleglass..the colors are Love Alert & Sugar Rimmed..they look yummy and the names are really catchy..omg very slick marketing, but the colors are really amazing and are not anything like my usual which is usually dark reds rusts etc..this could get dangerous :)

Holly, I am definitely checking out your gallery! thanks!

Juicy Tubes
 

by Lancome. Does anybody know anything about these glosses? There is a set at Nordy's for $29

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 :)

Mary Kay NouriShine Lip Gloss in Starry

I like a natural look with just a hint o' glitter. *laughs*

I really like using Cover girls lip stain and then finishing it off with Wetslicks amazemint lip gloss, love the way it looks and the minty freshness :)

(imo)glitter is verrrry necessary! how does it taste and is it sticky?? thanks :)

ps..just learned this from a make-up specialist she said if your lipstick or gloss tends to slip off, try using a lip pencil to color in your whole lip, then apply your gloss/and/or lipstick

Clinique or Elizabeth Arden foundations work well for me, but can be a little pricey.

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. :)

my best is

blistex

it comes in a tiny white jar with a yellow lid.........

ooooopppppppppssssss

this is femme zone

Toughy, that's hot :eyebat:

Revlon Color Stay - this does NOT come off :)

:sparklyheart:

Wow, the palette looks amazing! Is the Revlon color stay drying?

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

and

http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/...ass/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

and
http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/...ick/index.tmpl in MAC red!!

http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/...ick/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.

Kiss My Face
 

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.

love a red or raisin stain, but it's been hard to find one i'm happy with..its definitely worth a look..thanks!

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!
