In high school, I had a bit of a lip gloss problem.  Ask anyone who knew me… I had a backpack full of chapstick and lip gloss, and yet… I rarely used the stuff.   However, in college, I tossed out the chapsticks and proclaimed my love for all things lip gloss. 

I was especially fond of this stuff:

But man.. this stuff is S.T.I.C.K.Y and I always managed to get my hair in it and then my hair would transfer the lip gloss to my face and then I’d walk around for the better half of the day with little lip gloss lines all over my face and nothing says “I still play in my mommy’s makeup” like little wisps of lip gloss everywhere. 

In 2006, I spent the summer in Austin, TX, where it’s a gajillion degrees, and I needed a lip gloss like product that was light, a pretty sheer color, and wasn’t too sticky.   So I found this:

And while I loved it (I still love it), the color options are limited and well… it isn’t very exciting.

So.. when a very close friend of mine starting selling Mark, I took the time to investigate what lip gloss offerings they had.  She recommended I try this.

So I did.  And you know what… OMG.. it’s the BEST.LIP.GLOSS.EVER.

It forms a “personal shade of pink” depending on each person.  Kinda like mood lip gloss I guess.  But it looks nice and natural.  It’s just the right shade of pink, just the right amount of shine, and feels great on (it’s not a bit sticky).

The only problem:  I always forget to order the gloss before I run out and then I have no patience for the fact that once I do order it, it could be up to two weeks before it arrives.  

I know that this store offers a very similar product.  I took a look at the ingredients and besides some extra ’oils’, they are almost the same product, but it’s way more expensive (like almost 4 times more expensive).

I also know that this blogger swears that this…well… we’ll call it an unorthodox product makes the best lip gloss. 

What do you think?   Should I suck it up and just order the gloss and wait?  Should I try McMommy’s suggestion?  Or is there something else I should try?
