Q. is it worth it???
hi everyone! so i have previously bought the fresh sugar lip balm and it worked very well, however, im not sure if i will buy it again solely because of the price. in your opinion, is 22 dollars for a lip balm too much to spend? does anyone know of any great natural lip balms either? thanks for any help!!!

Q. brightest blue-based red lipstick
i am extremely pale with rosy cheeks, and pink/cool undertones. i've tried all kinds of red lipsticks, and am currently looking for the absolute brightest blue-based satin or matte red on the market. any suggestions? i've worn many reds, and find that shades like nars's red lizard, while flattering in undertone, are too dark and make my lips look smaller than they are, and that colors like mufe's moulin rouge are nice and bright but a little too orange for my skintone. i don't want to use a gloss to make my lips look bigger (it doesn't look good on me), so please help me find that perfect superbright cool red (but not too cool, i don't want magenta lips). i was even considering mac's ruby woo, but it seems to be a bit too dark for me (yes, i am THAT PALE lol). thanks!

Q. Pink lipstick recommendations/pink OCC Lip Tars?
I want to try pink lipstick but can't find one I like or that I feel would look good. I really don't care for hot pink lipsticks so more natural or lighter pinks would be better suggestions. I'm very fair with cool undertones, so fair to the point that I will burn in the sun. No tanning, just burning! I like(d) YSL ROUGE VOLUPTÉ in Lingerie Pink #7 but the dupes I got didn't look so great. Any one have a suggestion for not-crazy-pinks? Especially OCC Lip Tar shades. I like Digitalis, Ophelia and Hush but I'm super worried they won't look good (especially Ophelia). Help is great. Thanks.

Q. Suggestions for a clear lip liner?
Does anyone have a suggestion for a clear lip liner? I love bright/ bold lipstick & want a clear liner so it won't change the color & so I don't have to worry about finding a close match for the more vibrant colors. I found one from Maybelline but I feel like it is too waxy/hard and doesn't help lipstick last any longer. Any ideas? Thanks!

Q. Stila After Glow Lip Color for Light 44 Skin
Hi! I'm looking at the stil after glow lip color and I'm not sure what color would be best for me (even though I like wearing lipsticks I've gotten the best lipcolor for me from just sheer luck!) This would be new territory for me since I've never tried glowing lip sticks (I mean, just as long as their not bad for you when you're eating or licking your lips you know?); also I've never tried a violet, electric pink, or any kind of orange color (the only type of fuisha I've tried is from the Sephora Collection lipsticks in Valentine which I like) Oh and if it helps I have dark brown hair and eyes; and again just as long as this is the type of lip color that I can wear rather than it wearing me xD I hope that's enough info! Thank you so much!

Q. Nars lipstick?
Hello, everyone! I need some help identifying a lipstick. I got a (free, unasked-for) sample in a Sephora in JC Penney about three weeks ago, and I ended up loving it. Unfortunately, the name was written in dry erase marker, not permanent, and it rubbed off by the time I got it out of my purse, so I do not remember what it was called. I believe it started with a hard letter, like a T or P or V or R, not any S or vowels. I don't know how much help that is!   I think the saleslady told me it was Nars, and I have a semi-matte nude from them which feels pretty much identical, so I'm relatively sure it is a Nars lipstick.   Starting from there, it's brown, sort of chocolatey - I've never had a brown lipstick before, so I can't give any comparisons, but it's not shimmery or sparkly or reflective or metallic. I'm leaning towards thinking it's a semi-matte or matte, like my other Nars lipstick, but I've never used Nars sheer formula (since if I want sheer, I grab gloss) so I can't rule that out. It seems to have a sort of red/pink undertone, where if you put it on very lightly, it looks less brown and more nude.   Any help? I've looked at the Nars colors online, of course, but none of the color blocks look at all like it, and I can't compare the lipstick-tube pictures, because I only got a slice of the actual color and it was a much smaller amount, so it's hard to compare. Add in the fact that colors online are never 100% true-to-life, and I figured I'd better ask.   I'm looking to order online, but I can go to a store in about two weeks, too. If I brought in what remained of the sample, would any associate be able to help me find it? Or would I be better off hunting down online swatches of the Nars line and seeing if I can identify it from there?   EDIT:   Okay, so here are some pictures. Applied with a brush over UD clear lip liner.   This is Nars Dolce Vita on me, one coat:   My unknown shade, one coat:     Dolce Vita, two coats (it gets pinker on me the more I put on):  And the unknown, two coats (gets browner):

Q. Painful pimple on lips, how do you deal with that?
Ok, so there's acne treatment and various things to treat pimple on the face. If it's drying or harsh, no big deal. But I've got a tiny red bump on the lip that hurts every time I touch it and it's a problem when I eat. Moreover, I JUST manage to recover my lips from it's previous dry/itchy/flaky condition, so.......   Have you ever gotten pimples on your lips? how do you deal with that?   Thanks.

Q. Red lipstick for olive skin
For a long time, I've been looking for a great true red lipstick. I have olive skin though, and finding a good shade has been hard. I like the look that Rashida Jones does sometimes -- minimal makeup with bright red lips. I've found a couple where the color was okay (one Nars, one Stila), but nothing stays on my lips for long. I rarely bother wearing lipstick for that reason. Does anyone know of a lipstick (or stain) that would be good for olive skin but would last through meals, drinks, etc?? Thanks for any suggestions!!

Q. Applying Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick
Hey Everyone.  I recently purchased the Hourglass Opaque Rouge in "Icon."  I'm very fair skinned and this is an incredibly bold color.  As a result, any imperfections in application are incredibly noticeable.  With the rather clumsy doe foot applicator (IMHO... I like YSL's glossy stain applicator WAY more), I'm having a heck of a time getting a neat, even lip shape before the product dries.  Do any of you fab ladies and gents have any suggestions about how to get a flawless lip shape and outline with this product?  It's so frustrating... I love the color so much, but I always end up looking a bit like Leigh Bowery when I try to wear it.

Q. Which YSL glossy stain would best suit me?
I've been wanting to get my hands on these for awhile but no sephora in my area carries them so I am just going to order online. The color that appeals to me most is #5 Rouge Vintage. I'm looking for an mlbb "my lips but better" shade, and from seeing swatches online this seems to fit the bill. However I'm afraid of how it will look on me. I have very fair skin with pink undertones and dark brown hair/eyes also very pale lips. I'm planning to use this color for the staining properties and not for the full on heavy gloss look. Has anyone ever tried this color? If so, how long does the stain last and did it turn a weird shade. Is it warm or cool toned? Any other color suggestions are greatly appreciated!   PS: I don't like corals or bright pink colors because they look funny on me.
