Ohhhhhhh.....cool, me likey...:D What I'm wondering is why are the sealant glosses in colors when it's used to seal in your favorite lip color?

I don't use or understand makeup. Never wanted to. My hen-friends keep pushing me, but my belief is that makeup represents a lie, and I don't wish to present myself to the world based on a lie. And yes, hair coloring is makeup, too.

I like to wear it occasionally (like once a year maybe full make up and eyeliner and mascara only perhaps twice), just to look different. But I never do the whole base and slap thing. I always take it on holiday and never wear it! Sis wore it the whole time, even at the waterpark, and she has the better complexion. I prefer to spend my time on the interwebs in the morning :lol:

you know though, I wear it to "shock/suprise", but it does piss me off a little when people say "oh how pretty/beautiful" I look with my make-up on. Like I'm a complete heifer without it. "Different" would be a little more tactful or even "gorgeous" or "sexy" -in the same way that a slinky black dress can be sexier than a pair of holed sweatpants with the same bod underneath both.... but hey, maybe I only wear make-up when I'm alreasdy feeling low on the self-confidence so I'm more tetchy then.

Speaking as a guy, I don't really care what kind of lipstick a woman wears, although maybe there is some some subliminal aspect. I guess I do notice extreme colors like black or bright red.

Still, back when I was dating, the best kind of lipstick was the kind that ended up on my :blush:.

I had an ugly lady in my office the other day with some seriously heinous red lipstick on. matched nothing else on her....

this color red:

but she was unattractive in general, and didn't appear to have any other makeup on. and she wasn't wearing a red dress...like you would have to with that color...

it was disturbing

chuckled out loud

Avon has nice stuff, usually has samples, and if you hate the color the rep will return it and give your money back/get you a new one.

Re application... I like the two step lippys, won't kiss off type ones... But the matt part can be drying, so you have to keep applying the gloss.

The other method I figured out when was young was to apply a light layer of lippy... Then rub some light moisturiser into your lips... This kinda soaks the colour in. Follow up with another coat of lipstick or a gloss... You'll have colour that lasts all day or night.

For colour... I stick to the tone of my natural lip colour...nothing to bright or unnatural.

Try Lipcote. It rocks.

So, is Lipcote like a lipgloss? Meaning it colors your lips? Or is it just a non-color sealant? Or it comes in both ways? :p:

Have you considered Dior "Sensation Coral" or "Champagne Blush"? Those shades leap to mind when I look at your pic in your profile. Be careful, you don't want to draw too much attention from your gorgeous eyes
;)

Re: lipcote... Is there a way to buy it in the US? As monnie noted, it seems to be a UK-only product. Not found(!) on google shopping, Amazon, drugstore.com, etc. I'd hate to get myself dependent on some impossible-to-procure toiletry.
