I have never gotten into wearing lip products (or really anything on my lips aside from regular Burt’s bees chapstick). I don’t know why but I just feel so uncomfortable and garish whenever I have any lip stuff on….I think maybe part of it is a texture thing for me? Like, glosses are super sticky and don’t stay on, matte or long lasting lipsticks crack and dry my lips out….I wear a full face everyday but just can’t take the plunge on committing to lip stuff. If I put it on, I wipe it off within 10 minutes.

What do other people consider a daily essential that you just can’t abide? Why do you think that is?

PS do any of you think it’s crazy to imagine full glam minus colored lips? Am I crazy?

    I cannot do lashes. I tried repeatedly and they just made me so uncomfortable, couldn’t stand the feeling. Fortunately I found a good source for latisse and my natural lashes are the bomb now.

    Have you tried the gloss balms by tarte, hard candy, or wet n wild (I think MAC has one as well)? You roll up just a tiny bit and they feel like a lip balm (you cant retract them so one or two clicks is all you need), maybe a little bit slippy-er. No stickiness at all. I’ve got clear, pinkish, mauve, and nude colors. They’re all SUPER sheer, as in sheer enough you can apply them without a mirror and not look weird.
