Ok, so I bought the new Blistex Lip Infusions that they've been advertising heavily here....

IT SUCKS!! If you're trying to use it like regular Blistex, forget it...it does NOTHING for moisturizing your lips. It's more of a gloss, and a poor one at that. It tastes like medicine and doesn't stay on for more then 5 minutes. Don't waste your money.

I have H.I.P. in some color and I must admit I'm not so enthused about this product. I find it flat and doesn't really shine. Its great for color but does not have gloss properties. I have several glosses but I'm really loving the one I bought from earth savers in macadamia nut. Its pricey ($25) but I'm going back for another.

Probably old news, but I just discovered Burt's Bees Lip Shimmers in Champagne. It kinda tingles when I put it on. Mmmmm.

Thats exactly what I came to this thread to write! All it does is make your lips shiny for a few minutes. I had to wonder if they even TRIED to formulate a lip balm, it is that ineffective

I bought this last week and have to agree with you. It DOES nothing as far as mosturizing goes and it does not stay on very long.

How did I miss this thread??

I'm a lipgloss-and-go girl. Heaven knows my commuter-rail trip is long enough to put on a full face of makeup, but 99% of the time I just shove a lipgloss in my pocket and book it for the train. Eyeshadow lurks in my work bag in case I decide to go out after work.

I got a sampler of 5 MAC lipglass shades a few months ago, in various shades of pink, and I usually carry one of those. When I wear red, I use a Prescriptives lip gloss, which I call "lip-repellent" - I have to reapply it so often that it's seriously annoying. I won't be buying Prescriptives again. The MAC stays on, though I usually have to reapply after lunch, but that's better than reapplying every five minutes.

Estee Lauder recently came out with a brand of lip gloss called DoubleWear Lip Stains. They "claim" that they are long wearing (I guess as much as a lip gloss could be) so I bought one a few weeks ago. I really like it and it actually does last a while too.

My other recent purchase was Tootsie Roll lip gloss.

My current love is Clinique's RSVPink super sparkly lip gloss. It's like a layer of hot pink glitter for my lips.
