I love MAC Boy Bait cremesheen glass as a lip gloss. It’s nude, sheer and feels like butter on the lips.
I don’t usually buy a lipstick unless I really love it – but then I tend not to wear them very often..so I’ll say all my lipsticks (which aren’t very many) I generally stick to gloss.
Lip liner is not a must at all.

Lipgloss- MAC Enchantress! So perfect…
Lipstick I love but never use- MAC Speak Louder
Lipliner- not a must, but makeup looks more defined/polished when used IMO.

Lipgloss you can’t live without? Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Rose.

Lipstick you love but rarely use? MAC Rocker. Flove the color, but it dries my lips out something fierce!

Is lip liner a must? Not really. I’ll use it if I’m wearing a lipstick or gloss that has a tendency to bleed, but most of the time I can live without it.

Chanel Mica
Chanel Dragon Rouge Allure Lacque
I never use lip liner. It’s a hassle – it only makes sense with dark colors and I want dark lipsticks that last forever and don’t bleed in the first place because I’m too lazy to reapply all the time.

Lipgloss: MAC love nectar and nymphette, always staples in my bag
Lipstick: MAC Russian Red and Girl About Town. They are both long-wearing brights that look fantastic but I rarely wear bright lip colors these days.
Is liner a must: Only when I’m wearing really bright colors to sharpen the lip line and prevent feathering, but I do enjoying wearing a neutral liner on long makeup days.

Lucie Avatar

-I don’t usually wear gloss, but Clinique superbalm in black honey is an essential! So moisturizing, perfect for casual days, and really does work on every skintone.
-I think the limited edition Shu Uemura lipstick in Jupiter Brown is such a perfect rosey nude, but I rarely wear mine because I don’t want to use it up!
-I think lip liner is a must for bold colours to keep them from fading too unevenly, but lighter, sheerer colours don’t need it.

Adrienne Avatar

I really like love nectar.

I bought 3 pink lady gaga lipsticks but I thought it was my HG but after a few weeks I looked in themirror outdoors and realized it was way brighter than i thought so I love wearing it around the house lol. And I won’t return them cus it was for charity and is LE.

Idk never used it but I’m planning on getting in synch and naked tomorrow!

Kathrina Avatar

1st: I love All Night Long by NARS. Great everyday lipgloss.
2nd: MAC Neon Orange. It looks amazing but I don’t have many outfits matching this shade + most of the time it just feels out of place.
3rd: I don’t think it’s necessary to wear a liner.

Missdaisy Avatar

Lipgloss: Flourabundance, (MAC)
Lipstick: Toxic Tale (MAC, Venomous Villains Collection), I love it! but just for special ocassions
Lipliner: is nice to have, but not a must (I don’t owe many…)

Lizzi Avatar

I completely agree with Toxic Tale. I had to get that one too, I did think it should have been a summer color though. So, I plan on wearing for the next couple of months, but I don’t know how I would balance it out with the rest of my makeup. Any ideas?

Iliana Avatar

I’d wear it with bronzer, tightlined lashes, a brightening eyeshadow that’s not too in-your-face (like a light wash of Stila Kitten, or if you’re NC35 like me something like Lithe or Naked pigment). 🙂

Michelle Avatar

Lipgloss: I don’t have any, as of now. I like Covergirl’s Amazemint lipgloss and NYX’s Megashine Lipgloss more than others.
Lipstick: Benefit Silky Finish Lipstick in Jing-a-Ling is a beautiful pink color, but wears off in under an hour 🙁
Lip liner: It isn’t a must for me, but it’s nice when I want ultra-defined lips.

lauren Avatar

i ABSOLUTELY love the colour of jing a ling- but at the end of the day it melts all over my face making it look like i was making out with a sticky popsicle all day. fail.

Lipgloss you can’t live without? Mark Glow Baby Glow hook up l/g in Smooches
Lipstick you love but rarely use? MAC Jazzed. It just does not suit me.
Is lip liner a must? nope

Amanda Blyskal Avatar

Lipgloss I can’t live without : NYX lipgloss

Lipstick I love but rarely use :High Tea by Mac

Lip liner is not a must except for red lips

Kathy Avatar

Lipgloss you can’t live without: That would be either MAC’s Nymphette (it goes with EVERY look) or MAC’s Hot House (because it’s SO pretty for nighttime wear).

Lipstick you love but rarely use: MAC’s Snazzy dazzle lipstick. It’s so pretty and I love it, but I don’t reach for it very often at all.

Is lip liner a must?: With brightly-colored and highly pigmented lipsticks, I think they are. Those kind of lipsticks tend to bleed on me or feather out horribly if I don’t have lip liner on. For sheer and more wearable colors, though … I can skip the liner.

Dusty Avatar

Lipgloss you can’t live without? MAC Extra Amps Dazzleglass is the one I go through the most – Just cause it’s so versatile. But if MAC Clear Lipglass counted, I’d have to vote for that one – Cause I mix my own glosses more often than not and I use it all the time for that!

Lipstick you love but rarely use? Saint Germain by MAC and No She Didn’t by Lime Crime. I love both of them but it’s so hard to talk someone into wearing either 😉

Is lip liner a must? Nah… Not really for me – Especially if you’re using a really matte lipstick. I use Ruby Woo all the time – It’s like a lipliner on it’s own 😉 Haha!

Lee Avatar

Lipgloss you can’t live without? I honestly don’t ear lipgloss very often, mostly just lipstick.

Lipstick you love but rarely use? MAC Show Orchid

Is lip liner a must? Nope, only with very pigmented lipsticks.

marta Avatar

Lipgloss you can’t live without? mac double dare cremesheen glass
Lipstick you love but rarely use? mac girl about town – love it! but only for nights out
Is lip liner a must? yes for “bold” colors, but i like it to be very similar to the lipstick i’m wearing!

Sofia Avatar

MAC – Strange Potion, soooooo beautiful
Nars – Schiap, where can you really wear this on a daily basis?!
Lipliner.. Hmmm. Not essential but definitely affects the overall look.

Devon Avatar

Lipgloss – Viva Glam Gaga 1
Lipstick – MUFE Rouge Artist Intense 45
Lipliner is so not a must, love it under gloss, fun to have around for layering… but I can definitely feel MORE PRODUCT on my lips.

Jan Avatar

Lipstick Queen Big Bang Lipgloss in Creation and Infinite
– I use different shades for different looks; Creation for a soft eye and Infinite for a slightly stronger eye.
Benefit Full Finish Lipstick in Lady’s Choice
– I only like to use this when I have my eyes nicely done, which I only do when I’m going out to somewhere nice.
I don’t believe I need lip liner for anything. I was told I would need one for a red lip, but I like to sheer out my lipstick with a balm anyways. I like a sheer stained look for bright colours rather than a full on lipstick.

SatelliteDreamer Avatar

Lipgloss you can’t live without? MAC Alice + Olivia Dazzleglass Creme in If It’s Pink… (I own a couple of backups for this one!)
Lipstick you love but rarely use? MUFE Rouge Artist #14. I want to wear it every day, but it’s just sooooo vampy on my pale face.
Is lip liner a must? I own a few, but never use them. I don’t like the extra layer. For OCC Liptars, I’ll use UD Ozone to hold it in place.

Angels1Jay Avatar

I can not live without my MAC C-Thru. It was the very first lipglass I purchased years ago and is still my favorite.
I LOVE MAC Lustering, but working in the corporate world office 5 days out of the week makes it difficult to wear that color.
Lip liner is not really a must…I only wear it from time to time.

Florence Avatar

Lipsgloss – A tie between MAC Viva Glam V and MAC Nymphette Lipglass
Lipstick – Tough one, but I do like the MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Unlimited but I guess I have to go with MAC Thrills lipstick from the To The Beach Collection in 2010.
Lip Liner – It depends really. If I know I’m going somewhere where I’m going to be photographed a lot or I won’t have time to touch up then yes. For everyday, probably not.

Lipgloss you can’t live without? Lip Smackers Vanilla. it smells so good 🙂

Lipgloss I can’t live without: Chanel Seashell or Glaze (was formerly Pink Crystal, but they discontinued it!)

Lipstick I love but rarely wear: MAC Show Orchid, Chanel Coco Pink

Liner is a must with dark lips, or if I’m going for longevity and won’t have a chance to reapply!

bxboricua Avatar

Lipgloss? MAC Nymphette or Viva Glam V
Lipstick? MAC Capricious (cause I usually wear Viva Glam 5 and forget I have Capricious)
Lip Liner? not totally necessary unless I’m wearing red lipstick just to keep it from bleeding

Bubbles Avatar

Lipgloss you can’t live without? MAC Baby Sparks. It works great on lots of my lipsticks or just by itself!

Lipstick you love but rarely use? Sadly, MAC Russian Red. It’s the most amazing red but I feel like I can only do red lips on super special occasions.

Is lip liner a must? Not for me only because I don’t have many lip liners so I’m building my collection.

Jadyn Avatar

Fave gloss: BOY BAIT CREMESHEEN GLASS:)
lipstick: Covergirl Spellbound
Liner is must with dark/ bright lipsticks. I use reverse lipliner.

Carrie Ann Avatar

Lipgloss you can’t live without? That’s a hard one. For some reason, I’m really attracted to MAC’s shimmery yellow & green glosses. I love to wear Spring Bean, Jealous & Just a Smidge. They look really neutral but flattering on the lips.

Lipstick you love but rarely use? Practically all of them because I’m more of a gloss girl. I tend to wear peach-toned lipsticks or the your-lips-but-better shades most often.

Is lip liner a must? No. I do like to wear it under lip gloss sometimes, though. Subculture under Ample Pink is very pretty.

Jasmine Avatar

1. Not really a gloss person, and none of the lipglasses I own are ones I love.
2. I love MAC Lady Danger but I feel like it draws too much attention to my mouth and at the moment I have braces. So when those come off, I’ll get my teeth whitened and wear all the bright colours I want!
3. I don’t wear lip pencil, but I do like MAC lip erase to blank out my lip line so lipstick goes on crisply.

I can pretty much live without all lip glosses. I own maybe 4 lip glosses, but I normally don’t wear them. Lipstick that I love but barely wear is MAC Morange. I don’t even own a lipliner ^_^

Lip liner is only a MUST when I use deep reds, or deep browns.

ann Avatar

i dont use lipgloss, i love mac pink friday- i use it when i go out all the time but on a regular everyday to work i dont wear lipstick, lip liners are not a must always- with nude lipsticks like myth i can only wear if i pair it up with oak lip liner and red lipsticks i feel should always be paired with a lipliner to give it that precise clean look and same with some brighter colors like petals and peacocks looks good with magenta lip liner. i do love lip liners though because they make my lips look fuller

Mimi Avatar

1. Viva Glam VI Special Edition lipglass. Star Nova lustreglass.
2. Chanel Dragon and Phoenix
3. Not really. Depends on lipstick color.

Amber Avatar

lipgloss i cannot live without – Lancome Juicy Tubes in Caramel Praline
lipstick i love but barely use – Guerlain Rouge G in Gems – love it so much but it’s HTF and sooo expensive – i barely use it!
is lipliner a must – it depends. for bold lips,lipliner can define the lips and make color last longer. I would wear it with just plain lipgloss tho.

Gabrielle Avatar

Lipgloss-NYX Tea Rose, or Smokey Look
Lipstick- MAC Patisserie, such a pretty lustre
Lipliner-NYX Lipliner in “Nude” or “Natural” Can’t remember the name

Jane Avatar

Lipgloss you can’t live without? I don’t much like gloss and I don’t wear it often, but Revlon Superlustrous Lipgloss in Nude Lustre is lovely. It has a nice texture and smell, and the colour is neutral enough to go with a more dramatic eye but has enough colour to brighten my face in a more natural look.

A lipstick I love but rarely use is probably Chanel Rouge Coco in Rivoli, which is a stunning red and looks so glamourous, but I just don’t find enough occasion to wear it. I’m not quite brave enough to wear it during the day. It just screams “Look at my mouth! Look at me! Look how daring I am!”

I don’t feel the need to wear lip liner at all, even with a bright colour. It doesn’t feather on me or anything, so I don’t see a reason to wear lip liner.

Laurel Avatar

Lipgloss you can’t live without? Guerlain KissKiss Gloss in Rose Tentation 865. Best everyday pink ever.
Lipstick you love but rarely use? MAC Viva Glam Cyndi-I bought it because it was for charity and I don’t think I’ve ever worn it out of the house.
Is lip liner a must? No. In fact, I don’t even use mine as liners, I use them as “stains”

LIPGLOSS:NYX;ANY SHADE!!! BUT SPONGECAKE IS MY FAVE!

LIP LINER:NOT A MUST BUT LIKE IT WHEN USING GLOSS!

Karlie Tipton Avatar

Lipgloss I can’t live without: N/A. I have a ton but I can never use them because they’re always too sticky for me.
Lipstick I love but rarely use: LimeCrime Centrifuscia. The color is GORGEOUS but it’s so bright I feel silly wearing it.
Is lipliner a must: I don’t think so, but I should probably use it more often.

Kaylee Avatar

Lipgloss I can’t live without: MAC Love Nectar & MAC Lychee Luxe !

Lipstick I <3 but rarely use: MAC's Viva Glam Cyndi, Lollipop Loving (trying to conserve both, ha ha). MAC Neon Orange, Morange, Snow Orchid & Violetta

Is lip liner a must?: Not for me, no. I never have problems with bleeding/feathering. I have very full lips & I find it makes my lips look overdone & too full if I use a lip liner. The only time I use it is to line & fill in for red lipstick & dark lipstick because the fading with red & dark lippies is horrendous.

Lipgloss I can’t live without: MAC Nymphette
Lipstick I love but don’t use: Lancome L’absolu Rouge in Perfect Fig

Amanda Avatar

Lipgloss you can’t live without? MAC’s Viva Glame 6, Partial to Pink Cremesheen Glass, Revlon Super Lustrous in Pink Pop (I really like pinks, can you tell?!)
Lipstick you love but rarely use? MAC’s Girl About Town… love love love it but rarely wear it. I feel like it’s great for summer and clubbing but when I go out I don’t want to have to reapply, and I find bright shades like this wear down really quickly on me.
Is lip liner a must? Never a must – but nice to have with brighter shades for that crisp look!

De Avatar

Lipgloss I can´t live without: I don´t like lipsgloss a lot, but if I had to choose between all my glosses I would choose HR Wanted Gloss “24 Carat”.
Lipstick I love but rarely use is MACs´ “Something New”. A gorgeous pink, but I need a good day to wear it. When you wear it everybody is watching you ;).
Lipsliner is only a must with dark colours. I´m too lazy to use it every day.

Jade Avatar

1. Bloom’s “Sweet Pea”
2. MAC’s “Ruby Woo”
3. Nope, I rarely where lipliner. Its such a hassle.

Lipliner: i keep buying them but then they just sit there because i think they dry out my lips like no other

Priscilla Avatar

Lipgloss- not a big fan. Trying some Chanel ones.
Lipstick- I love Creme d’Nude on OTHER people’s lips. But it just doesn’t work on my lips. I also love the matte red of Ruby Woo, but it flakes on my lips no matter how much I try to condition my lips.
Sometimes lip liner is a must. With reds I would say it’s a must for me.

Although, I’ve started using Urban Decay’s Ozone lipliner (clear) recently and have found it makes my lipstick last a lot longer so I may find that becomes a must-use!

Lipgloss you can’t live without?
A clear gloss of any kind. Buxom’s Krystal is a favorite, but I can make do with something else. I wouldn’t be able to make do without a clear gloss of some kind, though.

Lipstick you love but rarely use?
All of ’em. I have lipstick but rarely wear it.

Is lip liner a must?
Depends on the lipstick. Some lipsticks REALLY need it because of texture issues and whatnot. Generally, no, though, it’s not a ‘must’.

Lizzi Avatar

lipglass – MAC’s True Babe, glad I had bought 3 of these, and UD’s Eric. Depends on if my outfit calls for a pink or red tone.

Lipgloss – Honestly, the CO Bigalow Lipglosses! I always have at least one with me. They are moisturising, smell/taste good, and offer amazing shine.
Lipstick – any red I own. I LOVE them, but I find them hard to keep up with throughout the day.
I think lipliner is nice, but not needed.

Stephanie Marie Avatar

Meh…don’t really have a lipgloss I can’t live without.
This hot pink one I got from Wet n Wild. I love it, but I feel like a clown when I wear it during the day.
YES!!! I tend to touch my lips A LOT, so with the lipliner, even in the lipstick fades away, I can be sure that there’s still a little bit of color left on my lips

I can’t live without NYX Beige.
Laura Mercier Peony – trying to save it.
Lipliner is a must for red lips or really creamy lipstick that can bleed.

Jeanie Avatar

I can’t quite think of a lip gloss I can’t live without… I prefer lipsticks more these days.

I love my Chanel dragon laque but I don’t wear it too often. It’s sooooooooo gorgeous, but a pretty high maintenance color for me in that it’s a battle for me to keep it from feathering like mad.

Lip liner is something I use about half of the time. It’s only necessary for darker colors for me 🙂

eRiN Avatar

Lipgloss I can’t live without … I’m not sure I have one! Or rather, I own so many, and try to use a different one every time I grab one, that there is no one I wear more often than the rest.
Lipstick I love but don’t wear often is my Victoria’s Secret Vino lipstick, a beautiful bright purple-fuchsia that doesn’t go with everything unfortunately.
Lip liner is something I rarely use, mostly because I only own a few colors, but also because I rarely need to look that polished!

Krista Avatar

Lipgloss- MAC Cultured. Also love the Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush glosses- especially Cupquake- smells soo good!
Lipstick I love but rarely use- my Lime Crime lippies- especially Centrifuschia (hot pink) and Retrofuturist (red) or anything bright, really. As a college student I wear a lot of jeans and sweats, which looks silly with super bright lipstick- and since I’m super pale, the red especially is veryy loud haha. Gonna work on that though 🙂
And I don’t know about lip liner being a must…I think it helps a lot, and I love love love my UD Naked liner, but since I don’t have a shade to match all my lip colors, I do just fine without it.

I don’t think lip liners are a must for all lipsticks…but for red or dark lips it’s a must!!

Meg Avatar

Lip gloss – CoverGirl Lipslicks in Cutie or Princess. They’re not sticky or glittery. They’re not too shiny. They’re in stick form, which I love. I dislike lip gloss you squeeze out of a tube. Too messy.

Lipstick I love but rarely use – NARS lipstick in Flamenco. A really pretty strawberry red, but quite loud.

Is lip liner a must? – Not for me. It looks so dry half the time. It does make lipstick last longer, but I guess I’d rather just reapply.

Iliana Avatar

Lipgloss you can’t live without: Right now it’s Revlon’s Super Lustrous in Nude Lustre. For the longest time it was MAC’s VGV lipglass until I discovered this one.

Lipstick you love but rarely use: MAC’s Pink Nouveau because it looks horribly gray-purple when worn alone and I’m too lazy to use liner.

Is lip liner a must?: NO unless I’m trying to wear MAC Pink Nouveau.

Hmm, tough choice, I rarely use lipgloss lately, but this past week I always have my BE Buxom Lips Bambi, MAC Peacocky Kissable Lipcolor Super & Chanel Rouge Allure Ming in my purse, though….

• Lipstick you love but rarely use?
NARS Schiap & Chanel Rouge Allure Dragon. I love those to death but it’s hard to wear them everyday (plus I don’t think it’s a “wearable” color for work, even though I still wear them once in a while just because I can’t resist to grab it every time I open my lipstick drawer :P)

Confession: I don’t have any lip liner!

Christine Avatar

My HG lipgloss is Boy Bait cremesheen I have like 3 backups I love it so……
Lipstick is something that I now just started wearing so I am still getting myself into the habit of putting it on and not just gloss…the first lady gaga is a colour that I love but is hard to pair up for me since I am very fair, but with yellow undertones so it takes some work…the other would be Russian Red and Lady Bug since I love them both but running a daycare out of my home means that I rarely get to wear dramatic makeup…
I hardly use lipliner at all just occasionally with red lipstick 🙂

Lipgloss- is my NYX Tanned. Its my no brainer. Non sticky & perfectly neutral.
Lipstick- Does a a lip tar count as a gloss or lipstick? But I am infatuated with hoochie lol.
Lip Liner- The only lip liner I ever use is UD Gash for when im wearing a red lip.

Ingrid Avatar

I’ve always had Lancome Juicy Tubes. They’re easy to wear and hydrating enough for glosses. For lipstick, I have a nice Shiseido red lipstick I don’t wear much, simply cause it’s so bright! Also, I’ve never owned lip liner cause my lips are quite full, and I’d just look stupid =/

amanda Avatar

-underage
-Saint Germain-but that will change in time!
-definitely not. its hard to match every shade of lipstick with a liner. for red, or really pigmented stuff, i usually just use a lipbrush very carefully then use a reverse lipliner on the edges just to make sure it wont seep. most of the time, no, so its not a must at all for me, even with dark colours. its actually quite a rarity. ive been trying to get into it an bought a few lately but to no avail. ah well!

I love love love Jordana’s InColor lip jelly pots. I know they are cheap, but they are so good! A bit of pigmentation and lots of shine <3 I feel so out of place saying that amongst all of the Chanel and MAC and Laura Mercier answers.
I actually don't wear any of my lipsticks much at all. How bad is that?
For me – lip liner is a must. I get huge amounts of feathering otherwise. For others, it really depends on who you are and how your lipstick works for you, IMO.

I always come back to Juicy Tubes by Lancome with my preferred shade being cerise – a great everyday shade thats very flattering.
Chanel Rouge Coco Rouge Noir – Looks so dramatic against my very fair skin and I love it but my boyfriend says it makes me look like a vampire and so I never wear it anymore!
I hardly ever war lip-liner but do have one for rouge noir and a Mac one for Red lips. Only if I’m wearing a dramatic lip look and need it to fade nicely really!

There’s no lipgloss I can’t live without, but I love lip balm. Using By Terry Baume de Rose at the moment, and it’s very luxurious – but I get just as good results with Blistex!

I love Revlon Cherries in the Snow but for some reason I never reach for it. I think it’s because it feels like my hair and outfit needs to be immaculate all day. R

Lip liner – not a *must* but it can be useful with reds or brights.

Lipgloss you can’t live without?
I don’t enjoy wearing lipgloss at all, so I’ll say Vaseline!

Lipstick you love but rarely use?
Violetta, beautiful colour! I just find it hard to match with the right shadows etc.

Is lip liner a must?
With a bright or dark lip, yes!

-Urban Decay Pocket Rocket in Jesse
-Lots of different red lipsticks. They look great on me with a more neutral or smokey eye, but I usually wear bright eyeshadow now so it doesn’t really work well. Especially the green looks except maybe around Christmas time. lol
-Sometimes. Usually for bold and darker colors.

Lipgloss you can’t live without? i can live without any of my lipglosses but i’m very fond of NARS strawberry fields and MAC strut your stuff

Lipstick you love but rarely use? MAC lollipop lovin and MAC made with love

Is lip liner a must? never.maybe the lipstick or gloss has tendency to bleed it can be used.it makes the lip stick and lip gloss “longer-wear” but i don’t like the pumped up look of it.

Lipgloss: All the Cremesheens! I love them!!
Lipstick: All the bright fuschia colors like Impassioned, Lickable, Girl About Town etc. I really love but rarely use them.
Lipliner is a must with bold colors, especially reds! And bright corals, fuschias.. Otherwise, it’s not a must..

Lipgloss- Toss up between Urban Decay’s Jesse and MAC Viva Glam V
Lipstick- Can glosses count too? MAC Drive Me Wild (fabulous felines), glosses would be MAC Wrong Spell and MUFE Lab Shine M12.
Lipliner- I tend to use these as low maintenance lip colours- so sure!

Lipstick you love but rarely use? Chanel Dragon

Is lip liner a must? Nope. I do like using lip liner alone often though! I find I use it more to fill in my lips completely and throw a gloss on top than to outline alone.

There isn’t a lipstick that I have been wearing forever and ever but lately I have been wearing Angel from Mac
I love this long long lasting one that i have from Loreal but it makes my lips really dry if they are not super moisturized.
For me lipliner is a must. I wear more than one lipliner everyday. My favorites are a nude one from sephora collection and stripdown from MAC

Lipgloss; katvon d sheer lightning lipgloss, toki doki lip gloss, bare essentuals lipgloss 🙂

Lipsticks; I love my revlon super lustrious lip sticks I just don’t ever reach for them, especially pretty is rose n’ shine.

Lip liner; I only own 3 and its a rarity if I ever use them but I do love the results when I do 🙂

lipgloss i can’t live without……Urban Decay Naked, love love love it. i want another one every time i go near a UD display just in case they ever stop making it, lol. my lipline is not very distinct so liner is a must every day. i love the natural liner from elf, it matches my lip color really closely and it’s super cheap so i can buy in bulk! i love lip gloss but because of the aforementioned bleeding lip line i dont wear it very much, so my lipstick love that i never indulge is RED lipstick…..

I like MAC “Gimme That!” (the groove collection). I still have some left, but i hope they make more or something similar.

Lipstick you love but rarely use?
I love & use all of mine, but i guess the one out of all of those that I use the least would be Nars Schiap. And I wear mine anywhere – while i’m out shopping, going out to eat, out clubbing, to a festival, to the beach, I work promo gigs and wear them to that too, anywhere except my professional work area.

Is lip liner a must?
No, I never use it. From what I understand its for people who want to make their lips look bigger/fuller.

Rarely use lipliner

Nicely nude lipstick from Elf! Amazing considering how much it costs! I like to wear that with NYX sweetheart ligloss. Perfect everyday combo. Lip liner is not necessary, I’ve neer found anyone that I LOVE so maybe that’s why I don’t think it’s that important.

MAC Plushglass in Ample Pink
MAC Girl About Town and Ruby Woo – just used for special occasions
Lip liner is NOT a must…matter of fact I rarely use them. If I do, I just use it all over my lips and put Aquaphor on top.
