Do you like your lipgloss stick, semi-sticky, or not at all sticky? Does it matter to you?
I like it sticky, honestly! I just don’t mind if it’s sticky or not – I feel like when my hair gets blown on my lips, it still stays there with non-sticky gloss.

It’s the exact same for me.. i find that if i have any product on my lips, my hair sticks to it.. so i can’t win! However sticky hair is worth luscious lips.. so really, i dont care about the texture of the gloss, the only thing that matters is if i like the colour/smell or not ;).
Yep! I just put up with it, LOL.
non sticky!! not for my hair per say, but since I’m a teacher, and I basically talk ALL day, I need something that’s not gonna feel like glue…
Ahh, got it, Tina 🙂
I’m actually getting used to the sticky, which used to be just icky but isn’t anymore. In spite of being a teacher 🙂 But sticky only on hair-tied-back-days, since my hair sticks to sticky lipgloss but not (luckily, it seems) to non-sticky/lipstick.
I don’t find I have any issues really with sticky glosses myself, I wear them all day and even when I’m on a gab-a-thon, it’s fine, lol.
Definately not sticky… I go mad when my lips just glue together… Plus, the sticky ones gives me blisters on the lips… Too bad, they stay on for so much longer than the non-sticky ones… =)
That’s so funny that people say it feels like glue! I’ve never had that problem!
Oh, that sucks, blisters :[
Oh I hate when my hair sticks to my lipgloss – it drives me insane LOL but the sticky ones looks so lovely and shiny! I try to avoid sticky if my hair is going to be down, if it is tied up then that isn’t so bad!
so weird! I find mine still gets caught in non-sticky gloss so I’m like whatever!
Definitely non sticky! I wear my hair up mostly so that’s not an issue, but I always feel like sticky gloss sucks all the moisture out of my lips and glues them together.
I wear mine up a lot, too 🙂
But wow, I’ve never had the feeling like they were glued together before, lol!
I like sticky to semi-sticky because it feels like it stays put longer. The non sticky lip gloss disapears faster.
But the hair issue is always a problem reguard lis what lig gloss you have on : )
I totally agree, stickier gloss lasts longer on me, too!
Not at all sticky!
Seems like most people prefer non-sticky!
I always think the sticky ones always have the most staying power. I have been using an Origins one lately and it’s not very sticky, not as long wearing but is still moisturising. I guess the most important thing about gloss is that it shouldn’t dry up my lips!
Ditto! I’ve found that to hold true for me, too. Oh yes, a gloss that dries is awful!
I like sticky, but if I’m wearing glasses (99% of the time), my hair will hit my lips and then stick to my glasses, leaving weird streaks of gloss on them. Unpleasant, and it reduces how well I can see! It’s so tough being me.
Oh goodness, that does sound mighty troublesome!! I only wear glasses for class (and mostly because I always choose to sit in the back, lol), so luckily I haven’t encountered that yet!
I love sticky gloss!
I think it lasts longer and moisturizes better than non-sticky. (love lipglass, don´t like lustreglass)
Yay, a fellow sticky gloss lover ;P I loveee the lasting power of stickier glosses for sure. Non-sticky ones slide off my lips so quickly!
I love sticky/semi sticky lip glosses! Since my hair is very curly and the curls really stick together, I don’t really get fly away hair that sticks in my gloss. I actually feel like sticky glosses are really moisturizing for me. I have very dry, peeling lips so that is a huge plus!
Lucky you 🙂 I find if I use a headband it keeps most of the hair out of my face/lips, so it’s not a huge issue for me either.
I tend to wear lipstick so my hair doesn’t stick to it but if I really want to wear a gloss I just wear a hairband so i don’t have to worry about it :o) As everyone’s been saying – non-stick seem to stick anyway so it doesn’t matter!
Good idea! That’s usually my solution, too 🙂
I vastly prefer non-sticky. I love Lipgelees! I am paranoid about getting hair stuck in my lip gloss so I’ll put it up and pin it if I am wearing gloss at all. I just don’t like having to peel my lips apart if I press them together.
I’m not a huge fan of lipgelees, only because they wear off so quickly for me 🙁
i love sticky gloss, its lasts much much longer and i just like it. although it does stink when my hair gets stuck, but i’m not living on the beach anymore so i dont really have to worry about alot of wind anymore.
I agree, I’m all about longer wear in the gloss department!
I love sticky gloss. It makes my lips look fuller and adds dimension. Totally don’t care if my hair sticks in it – it’s worth it when I get compliments on my full lips (which are totally an illusion, LOL)
Ha, I do think they can make lips look fuller, too!
the sticky ones DO have the best staying power
but it is annoying to wipe off
& when my hair blows in the wind it gets stuck lol
True! I have to use makeup removing wipes or a cotton pad with remover on it to really get it off!
Non sticky!!!!
Or maybeee semi sticky is my hair is up. I can’t stand sticky, my hair gets caught in it and it feels like glue on my lips. When I speak I can feel the gloss between my lips.
Finding a good, non sticky gloss is pretty hard though. I tend to love tinted balms for normal days since my hair doesn’t stick to it at all.
Yuck, that must be a nasty feeling! I haven’t yet felt like my lips had glue on them with sticky glosses, thankfully!
I prefer sticky ones because they have the most staying power.
I guess I like it kinda sticky, ’cause if it’s not sticky, it’s slimy! LOL
LOL! That’s true, I don’t like it always feeling like vaseline on my lips… fine when it’s vaseline, but I don’t want my gloss like that!
