    I would say I have around 20 lipglosses and maybe 25 lipsticks.

  2. Nell says:

    I´m sure I have over a hundred, probably closer to 150, the majority from MAC, others from Bobbi Brown, Nars, Smashbox, Clinique, Chanel and Dior.
    I could not live without lipgloss!

  3. Kirsty says:

    I’m not big on putting stuff on my lips. They’re very pigmented anyway so most of the time I can get away with lip balm, especially the medicated/menthol stuff that reall brings out the colour of them. I’ve got a few Lancome Juicy Tubes, a couple of Mac glosses and about 50 different balms! My favourites are Body Shops Brazil nut butter and Palmer’s mint and dark chocolate!

    • Christine says:

      You are both lucky and unlucky! I say this only because I love wearing different colors, but I get so frustrated when a sheer lipstick does nothing for me, and yet looks so utterly fab on someone with less pigmented lips!

      Palmers are great!

  4. Chica says:

    I used to have a couple – as I’m much more into lipstick but gloss seems a bit more summery somehow so I’ll probably be tempted to buy a few more :)

    I actually got addicted to lipglosses as late as this christmas! My friend gave me a holiday set of 4 lancôme juicy tubes, which I totally love. That set actually trippled my collection; I had an old juicy tube and a stila lip glaze. Now I have also bought a cute little tube of Kanebo Lavschuka gloss and a lancôme LUCI gloss. That makes 8. The first of many to come, is my guess.

    My watching-list on ebay currently has a ton of dazzleglasses and a tendertone in it… I am seriously lemming Money Honey, Miss Fizz and Funtabulous dazzleglasses. And I pretty much need them too ;) what makeup addict only has 8 glosses?

    Like you, Kirsty, I have quite pigmented lips so clear shiny glosses and heavily pigmented ones are my favourites, not so much the ones inbetween.

  6. Tonee says:

    Not a big gloss fan – I have about five or six, which I use rarely or over matte lipstick. I am more a lip balm fan, as I hate the sticky nature of most lip glosses. I like Dior’s Ultra Gloss in Linen Beige and Denim Pink but I don’t use them every day.

    • Christine says:

      Do you do anything special to your lips before you apply mattes? I’ve found some mattes can be quite drying on their own.

      • Tonee says:

        I exfoliate with an olive oil/sugar mixture and then apply a thick balm (something from TBS or MAC TLC) for a few minutes, then wipe off before applying a matte lipstick. Lips should never be dry before applying a matte lipstick IMO – there should be a very thin layer of balm (not gloss or Vaseline, because then the lipstick would just slide off!) on the lips.

  7. Terry says:

    I am a huge lip gloss/lipstick/lip balm fan, even if I don’t have a big collection. I think I have two Lancome’s Juicy Tubes, one L’Oreal’s Glam Shine (one of my favourites) and two ‘Les Accords Naturels’ lipsticks (I am really into nude colours at the moment), a MAC Lip Varnish, a Dior ‘Diorific’ scarlet lipstick, two Rimmel lipglosses and a lipstick, two Chanel’s ‘Glossimer’ glosses (I love them!) and several lip balms I keep in my bags and on my bedside table.

  8. Courtney says:

    about 20….but going to MAC today for the Naughty Nauticals event, so probably will be 25 by tomorrow……….someone take my credit card away!!

  9. Susanne says:

    Around 20 lipglosses.

  10. Thalia says:

    Four! I used to be addicted to lipgloss, but now I’m leaning towards moisturizing lipsticks (Slimshines). That, and I don’t like keeping any gloss beyond 2 years (they might’ve already expired by then).

  11. Sandy says:

    hummm…never thought of it, maybe 20-25 glosses and about 30 lipstick. My glosses are from MAC, Lancome, Clinique and some drugstore brands like NYX.

  12. valley says:

    I have 23, but some of them are tiny square pans that are included in a larger set. Several are junk glosses that are useless as far as color goes. I probably only have about 6 nice full-sized ones and 6 small pans in a Sephora palette that I use regularly.

  13. Aleks says:

    I counted. 36. :D Almost as big an amount on my shopping list, tho! This week I got MAC Lustreglass in Ensign and Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect in Coral Lame. :D

  14. DaniMae says:

    I used to have well over 100 glosses. Now I’d say anywhere from 50 to 70.

  15. Pia says:

    Hmm I have just 10, 5 from MAC, and 5 from Dior and Clinique.

  16. kat says:

    10 of the holiday mini glosses, 1 regular gloss, and 1 from Oscar De La Renta I got with a purfume I bought… I also have 5 lipsticks

  17. lala says:

    24 l/g …and that’s just my M.A.C ones.

  18. Alexa says:

    probably 20
    i have no idea

  19. kellie says:

    Too many to count!!! Some of my favs are prr from MAC, Lip fusion lip plumper- love this stuff, def. a must have, and vanilla frosting lipsmakers gloss- I’m 25 and still can’t stop using this stuff.

  20. Clemence says:

    I counted 28 lipgloss ! I love my lipgloss !!!!

  21. Vivien says:

    17 Lipglosses [All MAC except for 4, which are Bare Escentuals Buxom Lip Glosses]

  23. winnie says:

    6? I gave a few away to my younger sister!

  24. Kristy says:

    I have about 25 or so. Mostly MAC but a few NARS as well!

  25. karen says:

    8? sounds I am quite reasonable about lip product. these 8 include one set of lancome juicetub (3), and another set of Chanel (3). I bought two MAC lipglosses recently. but I prefer to use lipstick rather than lipgloss.

  26. Julia says:

    Probably about 10… Pink Poodle, Lychee Luxe, Enchantress, She-Gold, Rags to Riches, Sugarrimmed, Hey Sailor, Style Minx, Starlet Kiss… Can’t think of any more.

  27. bec says:

  28. Jude says:

    I have over 100. It is a sickness, I tell ya!

  29. MEG says:

    About 30
    Love MAC’s Lipglass!

  30. Lydia says:

    I have tons of lipgloss! :)

  31. Valerie says:

    Oh wow what a question lol I maybe started wearing lip balms in elementary school and now I’m in 11th grade I’ve lost track of how many I have but I will estimate a about 50 (lip balms, glosses and lipsticks) I’ve been “craving” lipsticks a lot lately I find it weird. How many do you have Christine?

  32. cloudburst says:

    I know I have over way over 100, but the exact number I don’t know…actually I’m a bit afraid to count.

  33. Anna says:

    I have forty lipsticks and thirty-five lipglasses, only about a third of which are MAC. I use about 3-5 lipglasses a year though, and i like having a variety to choose from.

  34. boxofmakeup says:

    Oh wow..I have 32 Lipglosses and 18 lipsticks

  35. gabby says:

    about 250

  36. Sarah says:

    I own 65 lipglosses and I am having a difficult time using them all up.

    • Sarah says:

      My favorites are the Beauty Rush by Victoria’s Secret. I have about 15of those because our store had them on sale for $2 each.
