I don't use either as I feel like a clown if I have too much make up on. I so use lip balm though so I would be interested to try the one you mention.0

I use a lipstick from Natural Collection at Boots. I'm rather fair (read: flipping pale skinned...think Casper's best friend!) and love their 'Crimson'. It looks really bright when you see the stick but once it's on it looks just right. I wear it most days but I put it on in the morning and don't reapply during the day

Used to be a lip gloss girl (with a make up drawer to prove it!) but I am now forever converted

Juicy tube gloss for me, with a natural lipliner underneath.0

I love the balm type. Feel too old for gloss and don't like the sticky feel. I have tried the new pencils as well such as Clinique chubby stick (what a name
) and Revlon just bitten. They have a nice texture.
Lipstick is good but sometimes I prefer the less "made up " look."If you see someone without a smile, give them yours.":DMiss Mona, The Best Little *****house in Texas0 -
I have juicy tubes and stila glosses and expensive lipsticks - the whole gamut.
But I really prefer a quick swish of benefit lipscription or, failing that, carmex.0 -
OP, try No 17 Mirror shine, a cross between balm, lipstick and gloss, very mse too:)All power is from within and therefore under our control0

Lipstick for me. Lipgloss no matter what colour just looks clear on my lips, I have good coloured lips.0
