BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Cosmetics Your favourite lipstick?

Revlon used to make this amazing product, okay, so it wasn't a lipstick, but it was awesome! It was probably just between 5 and 8 years ago. It was lipgloss on one side and a lip pencil on the other. They discontinued it <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> So for now, I'm loving L'Oreal...wait a minute, they discontinued that too! I still have them because I bought tonnes. Okay, so I don't have a fav lipstick that's on the market. So what's yours?

CC, I was having the same thing happen to me where I find a great lipstick and then it's discontinued...I know the one you're talking about, I didn't know it was discontinued...

For a while I was using lipgloss, but it's too sticky and when it's windy out forget it, it's like glue...lol

I would have to say my favourite at this moment is Rimmel Volume Lipstick #065 Full On...I also like Loreal Volume Perfect re-shaping lipcolour in #710 plum pactful...

these two are my faves, but there's others I like as well..

What about lipsticks that are long lasting but not matte? Have you come across any good ones?

The ones' I mentioned are long lasting and not matte...
I hate matte lipsticks and don't wear those anymore..

The Rimmel Volume lipstick, is very nice, the colour (Full On #065) I mentioned is nice and natural looking...I really recommend this one...

The Loreal Volume Perfect lipcolour in #710 Plum Pactful is natural, but with a bit more colour in it...

I should mentioned that I always apply a lip balm, wait a few minutes, then apply my lipstick...

which lipsticks do you use?

If you are willing to use a matte lipstick and add some shine to it with another product, definitely check out the Smashbox Cosmetics lip products.

I just went on the website to look up the product name, since I know the color is Smashing Film and it seems to not exist anymore.

Anyone know of something similiar??

Hello Fashionfiend - Sorry, but I haven't heard of Smashbox cosmetics...I think it's because I'm in Canada and it's probably not in any stores...I probably couldn't recommend something similar to you, unless I can by the colour...

I'm curious about the product though, so I will check it out on-line...

I checked on Sephora as well and the product is long gone. There was a product called Limitless Lip Creme which sounded right and then it wasn't what I was searching for.

The colors are sheer glosses with a clear gloss on the other end- I am not a gloss wearer so was disappointed.

Think I will go into Sephora and ask for recs on something similiar, though the help in their has gone down the tubes lately. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Hmm, another thought. I keep hearing rave reviews of Mac lip products- have you looked into them?

I've tried Mac lipstick before, but the one I tried was so drying, but had great staying power...I didn't like the dryness, so I don't buy it...

I like glosses sometimes, but they are so sticky and if it's windy out, my hair will stick to it like glue...lol

I haven't been to Sephora or even tried their products, but have heard they are good...

I find in most stores now, the help has gone down...

Yes, have had the stickiness problem with gloss.

I've never used Mac lipsticks. Tried their eyeshadows years ago but found them too strong on the color for my fair complexion- even in the neutral shades of Hot Chocolate and Dew- believe that is what I used.

Sephora has fairly good pictures of the products online if you're comfortable picking colors that way.

Yes, "good help is hard to find". Funny how so many of those expressions ring true.
