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.

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.
