I have lip venom and I will say...not much improvement and I feel the need for chapstick right away.

Does no one wear lip stick anymore? It's out of style isn't it? It's all about lip gloss now.

I just go for the chapstick and then almay sparkly lip gloss that does the trick. I don't have full lips but I'd look weird if I did. My mouth is TINY.

I do, but I put gloss on under it. And I don't put my lipstick on thick, it's more of a medium tint...imitating natural color but a little better. My mouth is small for my face, though - if it wasn't, I probably wouldn't wear lipstick nearly as often - just gloss.

the best thing, besides Burt's Bees is MAC's lip conditioner - in any format, it is awesome.

I love lip venom. The consistency works for me. I'm not buying it anymore, though. I've decided the only thing that I will spend $18 per on at Sephora is L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil.

Ebay is a nice place to get L'Occitane products. I buy their candles, incense, magic eye balm, etc. I love their stuff!

And you just reminded me that Walgreen's is having a sale right now on a Burt's Bees travel sized kit - several products for $12. Rachel Perry lip balms are awesome too.

did you catch all of the L'Occitane products on QVC's day of beauty yesterday?

I really want some La Mer products.

Within minutes of putting it on I notice a difference in the moisture and the overall appearance. It is not tacky and feels great, no nasty smell either. Over time, the results just get better.

I'm sold. I've never tried any plumping lip products, but I will try this one. I'll have to find out though if its avail here. Thanks Jazz

I don't watch QVC. But I have yet to meet a L'Occitane product I didn't like. For years, I've been addicted to the hand cream and body lotion (which is so pricey, I only use it occasionally, like right after I've shaved my legs). I haven't tried their hair products yet...the person I bought the eye balm from sent me a sample of the scrub/mask. It's very nice!

I got some La Mer samples on ebay cuz I wanted to try it - too greasy for me, so I used the face cream as a nighttime eye cream instead.

lol.

I went into our local "high-end" store (you know there's only 2 in MS) and noticed they just started carrying La Mer. So I thought, hmmm, I'll get a gift set and try it and it shouldn't be too expensive...$298! After she told me, I said, hmmm, ok, thank you and walked away.

It's outrageously expensive, for what it is, imo. Do what I did, and buy some samples on ebay. Kiehl's products are nice too, and relatively inexpensive. Again, ebay, but if you purchase Kiehl's in a store, they are very generous w/ the samples. The abysinne eye cream is flawless! The avocado eye cream is nice too. So are their lip balms. I'm going to invite Bruce to this thread. He single-handedly keeps Kiehl's in business!

The cosmetic industry is nothing but a big racket anyway, like pharmaceuticals.

Have you tried the almond shower oil? I normally don't like bath oils and stuff (too greasy!), but this is different. It lathers up a little bit, and I use it on my legs after shaving, then rinse it off. It smells amazing, and makes my legs feel smoother, even pre-lotion, than anything I've ever tried. It is such good stuff.

Haven't tried it, but it sounds divine. And if it smells anything like the almond delight candle, I will probably love it!

I finally got some La Mer and I'm loving it. It is a little greasy, but seems to absorb fairly quickly. I'm dying knowing I'm using the same thing Stevie uses (nerd)! I just saw where the La Mer body butter came out - $195 for 10 oz. versus the $195 for 1 oz. of the cream I have. Hope the **** is worth it.
