I have to say that I absolutely LOVE lipstick!! Not lip gloss but lipstick. I use lip liner as well. Sometimes, I will use liner and three shades of lipstick to get the effect I want to. I have SO many tubes of lipstick and won't stop buying them! I've had up to 20 tubes in my purse at one time. I'd be willing to hear the brands you like and why. The ONE thing I have yet to defeat is finding MY perfect shade of red! Lipstick can get pricey if you buy and try - but don't like! I think red lips are HOT and sexy - but I haven't found that right tone yet.Maybe this is it. Danielle Maye XXX
