Lipgloss Addicts, Come Forward!
 
I am absolutely addicted to lipgloss. It's the one item I cannot pass on when I'm shopping. I KNOW I can't be the only one on here who has this problem. :)

So, how many tubes of lipgloss do you own? I have five in my purse, and who knows how many at home.

Sister Havana 09-29-2005 09:43 AM

ME! :D

I don't wear much makeup, but lipgloss is the one thing I can't go without.

Honeykiss1974 09-29-2005 10:16 AM

*raises hand*

I am a lipgloss addict! I couldn't tell you how many I own. :confused: But my favorites are...

~ Sweetalk by Victoria Secret in Strawberry (it smells and even taste yummy. Your man will absolutely love kissing you with this on).

~Juicy Tubes by Lancome. I know I have at LEAST 5 tubes of this stuff and I love it. It lasts on your lips for a long time.

~Hard Candy lipgloss in Rootbeer. Love the color and taste.

~ Caboodles Lipgloss in the small sqeeze container. They come in tons of colors/flavors but my favorites are Cherry Jiggle and Strawberry Shimmy.

These are just my favorites. I have tons of tubes though. I haven't bought lipstick in almost a year!

On my "Hated it" list are the following:

~Christian Dior (BLAH) I'm really starting to hate their make-up because this is like the 3rd thing I have bought from them that was crappy. Their mascara and lipstick were the first two.

~Mary Kay. This stuff only last on my lips for like 10 minutes tops.

~Avon GlazeWear. I didn't like it

My name is Ann Marie and I am a lipgloss-a-holic.

I carry atleast 5 different flavors/scents/brands in my purse at once, keep 3 in my desk draw and about 1,238 in my home at once :p

Seriously. I love lipgloss and chapsticks. I always get a stocking full at Christmas.. the hubby and my Mom know that is ALWAYS a crowd pleaser.

AlphaFrog 09-29-2005 11:24 AM

I currently use Prescriptives in Metor 08. It's kinda got a peppermint smell to it.

I love it, but I'm really picky about it. It has to be just the right flavor/shade/consistancy or I will throw it away.

LightBulb 09-29-2005 11:40 AM

The Mary Kay gloss wand / liquid lipstick is amazing! It is so shiny and colors my lips (I have a dark nude color, and it looks so good as a gloss). I gotta disagree with HoneyKiss, it lasts a while until you eat / drink / kiss.

valkyrie 09-29-2005 11:45 AM

I like Urban Decay lip gunk and MAC lipglass.

Hmmm, this may be something new. I was talking about their Signature lipgloss
http://www.marykay.com/PWS/Color/ima...Gloss_Hero.jpg

When I used it, the tubes were taller and a lot slimmer.

Is the gloss wand/liquid lipstick something new? :) I'm still upset that they stopped making their lip laquer a few years ago. :( Now that stuff STAYED on your lips, so if they now have something similiar, I'm game to try it. :)

Sistermadly 09-29-2005 12:17 PM

I'm not an addict. I don't carry around more than .... *counts items in her makeup bag*.... eight different lip glosses!

My favorite ones these days are:

Sunny Boy and Flight of Fancy by M*A*C* (from their Lipglass line)
Geisha by Pout (their lipglosses smell SO GOOD!)

The Revlon glosses are my fall-back items for when I'm not feeling so flush, but I pretty much exclusively wear M*A*C*. I rarely if ever wear lipstick - I'm a liner/gloss kind of girl.

I'm not sure what the technical name of it is :confused: it is liquid lipstick in that it tints your lips, but it is mostly gloss.. hence the name that I err um made up. I got it as a Christmas present. I'll try to find out what it's called for you. :)

winnieb 09-29-2005 12:49 PM

ME! ME! ME!

I have been addicted to Bonnie Bell lip smackers-in the roll on for a very long time. The stores around me stopped carrying it-- I tried others but they are too thick.
But NYC makes the same sutff--not thick, not sticky- just perfect. I can't live w/o that stuff!

ZTAngel 09-29-2005 01:49 PM

I thought this was going to be a thread for Chap Stick addicts which I am. I need a tube by me at all times or else my lips get really dry. I keep one in my purse, car, office desk and by my bed. I have washed and dried many tubes because they were in my pockets.

Anyway, my personal favorite lip gloss is Bonnie Bell's Lip Smackers in Dr. Pepper.

I have that one and I love it. In fact, it is my current lipgloss favorite!

I'd have to go and count them, but I would guess that I probably have between 15 and 20 lipglosses.

OtterXO 09-29-2005 02:31 PM

I'm such a gloss addict. I use MAC clear lipglass and various Juicy Tubes. I'm also a fan of Rosebud Strawberry lis salve (from Sephora)...it's for when you want a little gloss but not too much!

PlymouthDZ 09-29-2005 03:42 PM

Oh! I absolutely LOVE the dessert flavored shimmer glosses form Bath & Body Works... YUM!

You can NEVER go wrong with Bonne Bell!


Oh! Sally Hanson Liquid Diamonds (I think that's the name) is AWESOME. I buy the clear gloss with glitter in it for special occasions.. it looks SO pretty on! (and they are cheap!)


I'm on my way to Target now... maybe I'll buy a new tube... hahaha ;) :p

AOIIalum 09-29-2005 09:51 PM

Guilty as charged.

I love lip gloss. I love Kiehl's tinted lip balm and use it constantly. The Almay Lip Tints are great for light sheen and color. LOVE Sephora's Lip gloss pencils too.

sigmadiva 09-29-2005 10:43 PM

I'm an addict and I don't care who knows!!!
 
I used to carry about 2 -3 different lipgloss brands, but no more. One day I was in Neiman's and drifted too close to the Kiehl's counter. I tried Kiehl's lip balm #1 and now I don't use anything else. It's $5.00 per tube and a little goes a long way. The best bang for your buck. Kiehl's lip balm #1 is especially good to use during those cold dry winter days.

A sad, but true story. When I was a kid, ~ 10, I desperately wanted to wear lipgloss - Bonnie Bell Lip Smackers. I dreamed of having tubes and tubes of Bonnie Bell Lip Smackers, but Mommy SigmaDiva would not let me. She feared lipgloss turns into lipstick, which turns into too much make-up, and then I'd really be corrupted!!! So, to get around the 'not-being-able-to-wear-lipgloss' issue I made due with Vaseline. When I was really desperate I would use carbolated Vaseline. Ahhhh, childhood......

cutiepatootie 09-29-2005 10:57 PM

Dang who doesn't recall growing up with bonnie bell lip gloss. those superchuck size round thick bubble gum gloss was my favorite.


I use clinque and mary kay lip glosses now



remeber those lip glosses when we were teens , ok some of us were teens in the late 70s and early 80s , but those little tin sliders with the lip gloss...i LOVVVED those!!!!!!!!!!!!

copacabana 09-29-2005 11:09 PM

I cannot live without my Lancome Juicy Tubes! they're just perfect for me.

Has anyone tried the Sugar lip gloss (the ones you can get from Sephora)? I've been wanting to try those...

I remember those!!! Wow, I'd love to find those again. Can't remember their name or anything other than a yummy scent, I'm thinking bubble gum?

I LOVE that stuff!

I'm a huge fan of L'Oreal Colorjuice in Strawberry Daquari. It's not flavored, but it's amazing. At first I thought it felt sticky, but it stays on forever. I have at least six tubes of that one shade. I keep them everywhere. I also love the Bath & Body Works glosses.

angelove 09-30-2005 11:16 AM

I remember a store that had the entire end of an aisle devoted to those giant Bonne Bell lipglosses. I would buy one a week with my meager allowance but never came close to getting all of them. My favorites were raspberry (because it sort of looked pink like lipstick before I was allowed to wear actual lipstick), Dr. Pepper, and one that smelled like cake.

What ever happened to all of those flavors? Any GCers want to do an e-mail campaign to the company to bring them back?

And I forgot all about those little tin sliders!

As far as nonflavored, I love those little Cargo packets of 30, ten each of three different colors.

Village Bath Lip Lickers. OMG those were THE things to have. Mine was Watermelon.

vermontcountrystore.com has a lot of old and discontinued products but I don't think even they have those.

I still wear BB LipSmackers all the time - they make my lips feel the best and have the nicest texture. I wish they still had the big honking ones though, and that the packaging would go back to how it was and not so "cutesy."

Nothing happened to them - I just bought my mom a Dr. Pepper "lip smacker" at Target, and I saw the giant sized ones at the local Wal-mart!

it's not the same flavors as the kicking it old school flavors though.

AchtungBaby80 09-30-2005 09:25 PM

I adore the lip gloss, yes. I think my favorite is Lip Venom...I guess technically it might not be considered a gloss, but it makes my lips shiny and I'm completely addicted to the smell. Mmmmmmm...

copacabana 09-30-2005 09:34 PM

My favorite lip smackers was STARFRUIT! mmm mmm:D

Glitter650 09-30-2005 11:43 PM

I own an extra large strawbetty smackers I LOVE it !

I bought a tube of their Colourjuice gloss (which, let's face it, is the exact same thing as Lancome's Juicy Tubes for 1/3 the price) in "Watermelon Crush" for $5!!! My poor husband had to tear me away from that aisle. :)
Isn't that stuff amazing? I have strawberry daquari. I just wish they had flavor to them. That would make them PERFECT :)

Pecan 10-05-2005 11:43 AM

Lipgloss is the devil! But it is sooo good!

I have Jamaican Rum and Bermuda Bronze by Milani, Oh Baby Lipglass by MAC, and Almond Glaze by Mary Kay. I also have a 3 pot of lipgloss from Victoria's Secret.

I can't live without any of my lipglosses!

Honeykiss1974 10-05-2005 12:12 PM

I recently scored a pot of glos from Victoria Secret that I love! The pot in actually gold with a gold-tone jeweled top that has a mirror in it.

Cool color AND container! :D

AOX81 10-09-2005 01:16 PM

In the words of the great Napoleon Dynamite,
"Can you bring me my chapstick?" :D
