Talk to me about lip gloss

[BethAndHerBrood]

I read a thread on here the other day , and someone said you should always wear mascara and lip gloss as it improves you no end. It was also said that lipstick made you look old. I have been pondering this, and have decided they were right. So, what lipgloss? Where from? Coloured gloss presumably, so what colour?

I have pale skin, red hair, wear greeny/teal framed glasses.

Thanks.

You need purplepeony to help you!

peach mother pucker

Tis magic

I've just looked at the peach mother pucker, how peachy is it really? And does it make your lips feel funny?

i love love love body shop equivalent of juicy tubes use over lip balm and lips stay lush

No huge change in colour TBH (I cannot wear proper lipstick it makes me feel like a maiden aunt)

does make your lips go a bit tingly

I have recently brought these from the No7 range and I really like them because they are not sticky like alot of lip glosses

in marshmellow it gives lips a dewey pout

this one also tastes yummy

failing that I always have a tin of this to hand. It give moisture with a hint of colour - can also be used to brighten up your cheeks!

Lipgloss is so last year .

Well I did read that in vogue this month - apparently its gone too porn star in its connotations now. Lipsticks are much creamier now and ranges like dior do ones that are a sort of cross between lipstick and gloss.

I wear chanel silhouette lipstick on top of a lip balm - does not make me look old and lasts for more than 2 minutes.

The problem I find with lipgloss is that you need to constantly re-apply and your hair gets stuck in it.

I like tinted lip balms better.

I don't want tingly lips, so that's out!!

The first link sweetheart did might be worth a look, but I will definately buy a rosy vaseline to try. If I don't like it, DD can use it.

Thanks all, who'd have thought lipgloss was so tricky!!

The Vaseline Rosy one is lovey.

I'm a fan of Juicy Tubes though, it stays on much better than cheap lip gloss and usually has a bit of a sparkle to it.

Do you get a definate touch of colour with a juicy tube? I need a bit of colour or I look like a corpse.

Yes you do, you need the ones that look like they might even be a bit too colourful to get a decent colour otherwise they can be just sparkly with a hint of colour. I find they make my lips look fuller then normal lipglosses too.

I like Clinique's Brandy Twist for a sheer light bronzey colour.

I've got a Bobbi Brown lip-tint-glossy thing, can't remember what it's called, but it's like a gloss with more colour and no stickiness. I have Blackberry which looks black but goes on purply.

Will never get rid of my lipsticks though!

Depends how much you want to spend!

I love Lancome Juicy Tubes, and Dior Kiss.

Dior Kiss are especially good, they stay on for ages, and don't just rub off when you take a sip of a drink.

The Dior Kiss ones are £18 is a lot, but they are really subtle shades and last months(honestly). You only need the tiniest bit and it really is very long wearing.

I have been looking at the diorkiss ones, do they make your lips tingly to give them that pumped up look?

I like the look of the chocolate shake one.

Duwop Lip Venom is fabulous - not too much of a burn and lasts for ages. They cost about £16 but I got my last one on Ebay for £8 and it has lasted six months so far.

Mac LipGlass is fantastic and stays on for ages. It is quite gloopy, lovely range of colours too.

Thanks for all the help, I've bought a rosy vaseline this morning and ordered a mac lipglass off ebay.

Mac, mac, mac MAC MAC....Did I mention MAC ..? .

Fantastic lipgloss. Goes on a dream,feels like a dream and looks like a dream...

a bit more than you "boots" etc lipglosses BUT so worth it.

Love the Dior glosses. I have a neutral peachy colour at the moment, it's gorgeous.

Also love Vaseline Rosy Lips, a hint of colour and makes them soft too, I often use this as my lip gloss. Can't stand lipstick and have short hair so no problem with gloss sticking to my lips. It's just too pigmented for the look I like.

Oooh, reading the thread I see everyone else has discovered Vaseline Rosy Lips too!

mango,try MAC if you don't like them to pigmented.

The ones I wear are lipgladd and lipdazzle..esp the dazzle ones are devine. A hint of colour BUT the most amazing shine and really finish you off.

Can't you tell I own about a billion of MAC's lipglosses

shhh, I think I've had a Mac Lipglass in the past, in Mango, or similar? It was indeed very lovely. I think I've tried every make of lipgloss going.

I don't rave about Juicy Tubes, they're too shimmery for me. I am hard to please where it comes to my lip glosses!

Yeah it may be mango, they have funny names. I love them, I don't find them very sticky. Esp compared to juicy tunes (which I soooo loved before finding MAC..!) which I find are like glue iykwim...

Go forth and enjoy
