Let's chat about lipgloss...

[jien]

Tubes vs Liquids? Tubes
Flavors? unflavored/unsweeten. No mints as the smell makes me feel nauseous
Colors? Opaque pinks, corals, tangerine, warm/orange-red
How glossy? anything goes, so long as it's not sticky
Texture? non-sticky, creamy, opaque, "light-weight"
How long lasting? If the lipgloss is still on my lips after my morning coffee, it's long lasting enough
Plumping? my lips don't need it at all. hmmm... I would avoid buying plumpers... unless I'm feeling rich, and the color is what I want... vit C?? would it make my lips sun-sensitive (it's already rather pigmented!)?

Oh, boy.....Karen's opened up a big ole can o' worms!

5. medium shimmery reddish brown that does NOT lean towards wine-colored. Sort of like if Nectar and Iced Mocha had a baby.

If Nectar and Iced Mocha had a baby, I would want to kidnap it and keep it for myself.

* Texture? Black Label is the favourite, then regular Kisser Slickers. Didn't enjoy the vegan formula in comparison, too glossy-shiny and slippery. Love the lipstick formula. Please not sticky gloss a la Juicy Tubes which makes me squeamish.

Just to clarify, I meant Juicy tubes in color, not in texture. They are way too sticky, and have some bleh ingredients. But, I think the summer colors with the matching flavors they do are so pretty, and I love the squeeze tube. I prefer the texture of the SN lip wands...slick and glossy, but not sticky feeling goop!

Thanks for asking, Karen! My personal preferences are:

Tubes or Liquids:
Liquids. I like both, but since you have such a wide array of the tube variety already available, I'm voting for liquids.
Flavors:
I like the current formula of just slightly sweetened.
Colors:
I think that a warmer pale baby pink, a pale pinky beige nude and a bright tangerine/orange would be nice additions.
Glossiness:
The glossier the better! As for how sticky, I don't really have a preference.
Texture:
Smooth & creamy. A moderate amount of shimmer is okay, but I prefer mattes.
How long-lasting:
Anything that lasts two or more hours.
Plumping:
Yes, I'm a big fan of plumping lippies.

For me...

Packaging: I prefer the tube style more.
Flavoring: Minimal to none. Same goes for scent.
Colors: A light-medium lavender pink...I guess that'd be orchid? Also, a creamy peach...something that is more opaque and lighter than what's currently offered. My lips are very pigmented, so I'd love to see some slightly more opaque colors that would show up on me.
Gloss level: I actually like less shine than more...I prefer lipsticks over glosses.
Texture: I love the vegan lipstick feel.
Plumping: My lips are full enough so I'm not really a fan.

Oooo, thanks so much for asking!
Hmmm, let`s see..

More Wand colors please:
Infatuation in liquid gloss with a wand would be lovely for summertime, no worries about it melting.
Also I would like a few more options on the wands colors if it is possible, since the regular glosses are so many.

Wand or squeezetubes in adition to Kisser Slicker tubes :
Wand please.
My lips don`t agree with those squeeze tubes, my lips needs control. Squeezetubes deposits color outside of my lips no matter what I try...

Plumping:
Preferably no, as I don`t like the feel, but may be willing to try it once

The look:
I love all types of glosses from super shimmery (my faaaavourite) to plain glossy without shimmer, just gloss if you know what I mean...

Flavoured or no flavoured:
Makes no difference to me, so I am happy with whatever.

And last, one thing I have always wanted

One piece of transformation stick with loooots of shimmer (NOT glitter) in a tube that can be used to transform ANY gloss, no matter what color, to a shimmer party!

I am talking about something waaaaaay more shimmery than <<Sparkle>> here. I am talking about something mother of pearl`ish .

Ok, I know I probably am alone on this one, lol, but I would love a product that could turn ANY plain gloss into something with mother of pearl sheen for times when it is fun to do something different than neutral or natural...

So if you have only matte glosses you could just get one of these and turn the matte gloss into something different with just a sweep of the transformer. I don`t mean it should look like melted silver on your lips, just something that give smooth delicate sheen like mother of pearl, if that makes sense? Sort of metallic, but still..not... Maybe an eyeshadow to follow..?
Wait we are concentrating on glosses here, lol

Aiaiai, I don`t know if I am making myself very clear here but...

I don`t know if it doable either, but just thought I`d throw it out here, lol

Thanks for listening lovely

Liquid or Tube?
I think the tube works better. I like liquid glosses, but I find myself applying them more, needing a mirror to do it, and they have a way of coming unscrewed in my purse!

Sweet or flavored?
I like the current formula of kisser slickers--slightly sweet with stevia. I would be open to minty (not over-the-top, though), vanilla, or coconut. NO LICORICE!!

Colors?
Little or no shimmer seems to work better.... the older I get. I love Centerfold, and Berry Nice and Rare Berry have nice payoffs--color stays well, feels good. I would love more with no shimmer, and not so sheer: corals, peachy-pinks, true baby pinks, and I think an orange would be great! Anyone else watch Mad Men? Love those lips on those women! Verve is close...... but more orangy is needed!

How glossy?
I like shiny, but not overdone... the kind that looks like a... uhhhh...dancer, no thanks!

Texture?
I like the texture of the regular kisser slickers. The vegan formulas don't seem to work as well for me, and tend to be drying on me.

Long lasting?
3-4 hours is great... enough to make it through a morning of teaching without being color-less when I finish!

Plumping?
I love the feel of My Pretty, even if the color isn't HG for me. If the plumping is the same formula as that one, I would still buy it!

Thanks for asking, Karen!

I also like how Raisin acts like a lip stain after the lipstick comes off...turns into a purple stain, just add clear gloss or balm over it and you are all set. Would love to see Lip Stains.

Seconding this: dark colors with staining ability. I love how I don't end up with clown mouth because the dark stain remains there, and then I can just clear gloss it without having to try to reapply a dark red without mirror (ummm, no). I can also change up my reds this way: under color what remains as a stain from the last lippie, and layer something else. It's nice combo without having too much lipstick piled on.

Thirding! Crimson does this for me--love that!

Do you want a liquid, or a tube?
I like the slim, discreet tubes. Both are awesome but the tubes make me feel slightly less vain applying outside.

do you want it sweet, or flavored?
I like flavor. I like what's in kisser slickers already; also be happy with peppermint oil even though it can be slightly drying.

What colors would you like?
I really like purple lately and summer colours. Really like the looks of My Pretty. This is a tough question because there are so many of my HG colors at SN already! I would like a lighter "slightly" more sheer version of XXX. Actually a bunch of non-shimmer semi-sheers in different colours like brown/purple/peach/pink would be wicked.

How glossy do you want it?
I prefer glossy to come in a squeeze tube or wand. It's a different look but I do like it for certain occassions. However in a normal lipgloss a little gloss is nice. Lipstick looks so flat sometimes without gloss but I suppose that's because lipsticks are more opaque and drying at drugstore places.

What would the texture feel like?
Like the sheers. Light and moisturizing or light and acting like a stain.

How long should it last on your lips before you consider it long lasting?
If I could get anything to stay on me over two hours I'd be pretty happy. Everything fades on me though and I usually only get 40mins before I *should* reapply. That's just my weird lips though. :/ *Fourthing the stain idea* Sweetheart stays the longest on my lips of all the ones I own.

Would you absolutely refuse to use a plumping product?
It sounds great!

You are so great to ask us this! Thank you, thank you! I'm loving everyone's ideas so I'm really not picky.
