Whatever form of chapstick has the highest SPF and is closest to the checkout.

L'Oreals endlessly kissable brand, any color-- I like that it doesn't come off on my glass or coffee cup, I always hate the way that looks. And I, too, don't reapply during the day and with L'Oreal my lips still have color at the end of the day.

I've never been brave enough to pull off any red color....

I may sound weird but I use Rimmel brown eyeliner for my chpastick..it's not a pencil..it's the kind that twist up. I live by that stuff!

You will never see me without lipstick..it just doesn't happen. I feel and look very strange without it...well IMO I do..

I've always had a hard time deciding which color is best for me and then I end up with 17 tubes of almost the same color and none look good. Any suggestions on which "counter" will offer the best advice?

BTW - Karen, i LOVE your avatar.

MH23 - I think Clinique will give you the best, most practical color advice, without pressuring you to buy $9 million worth of product.

I use Loreal color riche #825 Bronzine..I love it..

I like the long lasting color kind.

I could never wear red but found Loreal Target Red at Target....very fun if your going for the 40's or 50's look!!

Thank you Empress. That is always my issue - they see me coming and sell me all kinds of stuff. then I'm too embarrassed to return it.

They'll also custom blend foundation for you and let you take home a little pot of it to try out.

Believe it or not, Palmer's Cocoa Butter makes a cocoa butter stick that you can find at CVS or Walmart for about $4. I use that. It keeps my lips nice and smooth and always moisturized. On top of that I use Victoria's Secret Melonrageous Beauty Rush lip gloss. Yummy and shiny!

Lipstick users beware though. See this article: http://cbs2.com/consumer/local_story_137185318.html

I use Arbonne - mainely Surreal - and have people ask me what kind of lipstick I use because it stays on so well. And it is soooo moist!

Empress - Are you kidding?? I didn't know they would do that!! I sense a trip to the mall coming up.

Queen Mum - I have never heard of Arbonne. Where do you get it?

Arbonne is one of those home distributorship companies like Avon or Mary Kay. Google it and ye shall find.

Good to know. Thanks. And it's good stuff, huh? I'll check it out.

I am not speaking on behalf of Arbonne. I have never tried it, and don't personally know anyone who has. I am just telling you where to find it.

It seems that Queen Mum knows more about it, so you should probably PM her for personal recommendation.

I don't wear much makeup, but I ALWAYS have my lipstick on. Mary Kay Mocha Freeze usually. Always Mary Kay, sometimes I wear their lip polish, it lasts forever!!

I use Bare Escentuals lip stick (I have several, but Sheer Joy is my favorite) and lip gloss (too many to have a favorite!) I also enjoy the Supernatural lip gloss by Philosophy, I use Natural and Mauve.

Don't worry, Someone Else. I won't hold you to anything.

Can you tell I make my living in Compliance? I have disclaimers for everything, even makeup!! LOL!!

LOL!!! I've only been doing this for about a year, and I find myself doing that now too. SCARY!!!

someone else, you really should get in there somewhere:

Ok, I broke down and bought this stuff last night - I ordered the Bare Minerals makeup online. I'm excited to try something new, and I'll try and remember to report back my experience (complete with compliance disclaimers). LOL

... oops, wrong thread... lipstick and makeup threads and I mixed 'em up, sorry...

ME TOO, Burnt Sienna!!!! LOL. I wonder if we were ordering at the same time.

I told you guys I could be talked into buying anything.
(well, at least when it comes to cosmetics...)
