I would say I have around 20 lipglosses and maybe 25 lipsticks.
A very respectable collection! That’s a whole lot of combos!
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!
lol! I have a ton, too! I would say at least 50, but probably more!
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!
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!
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 think I just LOVE the glossiness of gloss, the way it looks on lips myself. I love lipstick for its COLOR!
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.
Wow! I’m so glad she got you hooked! The Juicy Tubes are awesome!
I also love the LUCI glosses!
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.
Do you do anything special to your lips before you apply mattes? I’ve found some mattes can be quite drying on their own.
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.
Got it! I usually put a balm on and then wipe it off, too if I’m applying a drying lipstick!
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.
Awesome! I think I need to add some more Juicy Tubes to my life!
I used to be a big Juiy Tubes fan, but now I realize they’re way too sticky for me 🙁 Chanel ‘Glossimers’ are not so sticky and are equally gorgeous!
That’s too bad, Terry!! I’m glad you found Glossimers to be more up your alley 😀
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!!
LOL! Five more, wow! Congrats ;P
Around 20 lipglosses.
Not bad, Susanne! ;P
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).
Oh wow! Slimshines are fun though!
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.
Oh nice! How do you like NYX glosses?
they’re pretty good for the price. My favourite is a pink one called barbied Pink.
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.
Oh, cool! Do you like them as tiny square pans?
I counted. 36. 😀 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. 😀
Nice!! LOL, what are your biggest wants on your shopping list?
I used to have well over 100 glosses. Now I’d say anywhere from 50 to 70.
What’d you do with the rest? Trash ’em?
Hmm I have just 10, 5 from MAC, and 5 from Dior and Clinique.
Are they all sorts of colors in the ten or are they similar to each other?
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
Have you used up any of the mini glosses yet? I’ve never finished a MAC gloss yet.
24 l/g …and that’s just my M.A.C ones.
What about your others?
probably 20
i have no idea
20 is a pretty good amount!
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.
Nice! I like Lip Fusion for a lip plumper, too, though I never use it,lol.
Oh man, Lipsmackers takes me back!
I counted 28 lipgloss ! I love my lipgloss !!!!
Nice job, Clemence!!
I love my lipglosses too 😀
17 Lipglosses [All MAC except for 4, which are Bare Escentuals Buxom Lip Glosses]
11 Lipsticks [All MAC]
Nice! How do you like the Buxom glosses?
Hey Cristine,
Who has time to count,lol.Well i think i have more than 20 thats all i can remember, LOL.
lol, Zainy! 20 is a good amount!
6? I gave a few away to my younger sister!
Lucky sister 😀
I have about 25 or so. Mostly MAC but a few NARS as well!
What are your favorite NARS glosses, Kristy?
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.
Yes, you’re definitely reasonable, Karen 🙂
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.
Oh, nice! Which is your favorite? You have a very varied collection!
Only 2! I’m not much of a lipgloss girl.
Which two, Bec?
None by MAC unfortunately. One is Fusion Beauty’s Lip Fusion in Blush and the other Bourjois’ 3D Effect Lipgloss in Rose Synthetic.
What is a lovely, not too out there but noticeable pink MAC gloss that you’d recommend to a girl with pale, cool-toned skin?
Cultured would probably look really pretty on you!
I have over 100. It is a sickness, I tell ya!
GOODNESS! But I am not surprised, you do such amazing things with makeup. I need you to have a ton so I can get ideas for myself!
About 30
Love MAC’s Lipglass!
Nice amount, Meg! 😀
I have tons of lipgloss! 🙂
That’s great, Lydia!
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?
Oh wow!
Nice! I’m not sure how many I have — I imagine somewhere aroun 50-75!
I know I have over way over 100, but the exact number I don’t know…actually I’m a bit afraid to count.
Wowww! You may win the title of who has the most on Temptalia!
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.
As in you actually finish 3 to 5 lipglasses a year?
Oh wow..I have 32 Lipglosses and 18 lipsticks
Nice!
about 250
My goodness, Gabby!!
I own 65 lipglosses and I am having a difficult time using them all up.
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.
