Lip Gloss in Wands??

Post by karen » Wed Jul 23, 2008 4:18 pm

So...I like the wand glosses, and I just got off the phone with a supplier, and found a good, steady, affordable source of packaging- so the question is this:
Would you prefer smaller 3.5 ml tubes or bigger 6 ml tubes of gloss?

My thinking is the smaller tubes- just from seeing how people order, it seems that smaller, less expensive tubes so you can order lotsa colors is the way to go, but I thought I would ask before I ordered tons and tons of them.

I am going to put my two cents in!!!! I like the smaller tubes, because I know the wand is exactly the same size in both. More colors and options. Plus, I would never use up a big one before it was past its prime.

I always have a toss up whether I like the liquid gloss in wand or squeeze tubes, too. I like the application of the wand, but the cleaner storage of the squeeze tube, but hate the application of the squeeze tube. Since I like the wand applicator, I'd like the smaller amount in it, so it is easier to replace. (Can you see me working this out as I type?) ;)

I prefer a smaller tube of lipgloss in wand packaging. I have never finished a tube of lipgloss in wand packaging. I have lost them or sometimes it smells off so I throw it out.

I prefer a wand over a tube.

I prefer smaller tubes with wands. Like everybody else, I never finish a large tube before it starts to go bad, change consistency , smell bad, etc.

I agree. My large tubes of gloss go bad, get lost, go through the dryer (like my Gold Blush did the other day), get eaten by the dog, etc.

There is absolutely no point in me purchasing a large size gloss.

That being said I prefer the sticks to the wand. Easier to apply on the go without a mirror (which is definitely my MO)

Zeebs, darlin, have you ever considered a lifestyle that doesn't require indestructible clothing and makeup? You could get hurt girl!

Keep the tubes, *of COURSE*, but the little wand glosses are a SUREFIRE winner in my book! Way to GO, Karen!

I vote for the small wands, as well. That way I can order many colors :D

I am a lippie-a-holic :oops: , especially yours, Karen they flatter so many different skin tones. I actually use yours instead of tossing them into the dreaded drawer of makeup that I don't want to get rid of because I spent so much money on it!
