I am sorry but I am not really a fan of lip gelees. Many people probably like them because they're not as thick and sticky as lipglasses, but I don't like the lack of both staying power and pigmentation. Without a lipstick underneath, it is just a hot glittery mess. Anyways, if you like non-sticky, sheer and uber-shimmery lip gloss, this is for you.

Lipstick

 

Flustered






Flustered





Flustered is a frosted pale bronze that would look great on warmer skintones. I like this and it looks good on my pigmented lips. I like layering a lipglass over it to tone down the frost, but sometimes I also wear it on its own.

Complete Comfort Creme

 








I am liking this creme. It reminds me of my favorite but now defunct Moisture Lush creme. It is a tad less sticky than Moisture Lush but Complete Comfort Creme really moisturizes well. I use this cream at night after I apply my Vitamin A and C serum and retinoids, and it works great in soothing dry, winter skin. I also like that it comes in a fairly huge tub (1.7 oz). MAC claims that Complete Comfort Creme relieves visible redness immediately, and is a gentle, soothing, calming hydrating formula. I can't speak much about eliminating redness because I don't have redness on the face, but I agree that this is quite a soothing formula. It is cool to the skin and is quite calming and hydrating at the same time.

Lip Conditioner SPF 15 + Lavender

 




I like the simplicity of this product. No-fuss lip balm with great SPF 15 sunscreen and the soothing essence of lavender. Pretty straight up. I like that this has sun protection because most of us forget that lips have sensitive skin that can be damaged by the sun's rays. I often slather sunscreen on my face and yet forget about my lips, so this is a great addition to my travel makeup kit. It really makes the lips feel soft and supple and the subtle scent of lavender is really calming.
