I agree with this, most of my friends only wear lipgloss. I have been a lipstick lover for a long time though. I started wearing it since i was 18 and never looked back. I wore lipgloss more when I was between 14-18. Now if i ever wear gloss is to layer my lipsticks. I find the look of lipsticks much more sofisticated and polished and they're more "me" than lipglosses
 

I agree with you ladies too, somehow wearing lipstick makes me feel more pulled together. Lipgloss only doesn't do it for me. My favourites are Exotic RA with Genie RAEDG over it.
 

^ Actually the trend is moving away from glosses and into lipsticks.. what is new and different is that the technology for the lipsticks themselves is changing fast -- more pigmente, or more staying power, colour ranges and lots of selection in finishes.... Phillips/Chanel are on the forefront of this movement from the very beginning starting with the Coco's.

Here is a pic of Rose Comete RC l/s.  I had heard so many reviews that it was too frosty, but I had seen a pic of Victoria Beckham wearing it on the cover of Allure -- and she looked hot in it :)  So, I took the plunge and ordered it and I really liked the color -- a lilac-y pink.  Next to it is Rose Dust JC blush, which is lovely also.

Hergreyness -- Yay, I love that companies are focusing way more on lipsticks.  I mean, I am obsessed with my glossimers, too.  But I gotta have me my lipsticks to bust out!  I wish I had your job -- getting to test so many cosmetics would be a dream.

WOW! Pleasing Glossimer from Holiday 2010 on top of Rouge Orage Rouge Coco is an unexpected beauty. Loves!

I started of the day wearing Insouciante Rouge Allure with Pleasing over it and it's lovely as well. I just wish added gloss over my beloved lipsticks didn't kill their wear time so much :-(

lipstick with this blush - BEAUTIFUL! now i want them lol

I was looking for a berry shade of lipstick so I stopped at the Chanel counter today and, after swatching just about everthing there, I narrowed it down to Romantic and Emotive. I tried them both on and really liked them both but decided on Romantic since it was more muted. As luck would have it, they were out of Romantic so I decided to take a chance and get Emotive. I'm so glad to read that it is a raspberry pink (in the lighting in the store it looked a little red) and people seem to like it. I've got a million nude, peach, natural lipssticks and I am trying to wear more color. I started with Mademoiselle RC and love it so I decided to try something a little brighter....I think Emotive is it.

Any recommendations on a lip liner to wear with this? It doesn't have to be Chanel, I've got alot of Mac liners. I'm not looking to change the color, just define my lips.

Hubby just surprised me with Coromandel RA Laque He said it was my after surgery present. i looooove this shade so much, if possible slightely more than Dragon. I need to do an FOTD with it soon.

Awww, what a great hubby! Enjoy it! So glad your surgery went well too.

 ^ how sweet ! Coromandel is one of my favs too... have it bu'd maybe twice.. lol. 

It should look gorgeous on you Shadowy.

Thanks, I was so happy that he remembered which one too. I had mentioned to him I wanted it a few weeks back :)

I love it too. I love my reds and find Coromandel so unique and different from my other orange-y reds. Def a winner :)
 

I bought the Rouge Allure in Mythic yesterday, which is a nude color and I must say I love it!  I've never spent $34 on a lippie so it's my first high end lipstick and I'm afraid I'm going to get addicted!

Mythic is one of my favorite nudes.  It is so flattering on pale girls!

Mythic is my fave nude lipstick.  I love the RA finish.  Yes, you will get addicted :)

I love Mythic too! It's a nude that doesn't make me look like death. Goes beautifully with ultra smokey eyes.

I'm so glad to know that there are other lipstick ladies here... I always feel kind of weird, because the places I've worked and even among my friends, I'm consistently the only woman wearing lipstick. It's weird. I don't mind wearing a gloss alone if it's fairly pigmented and I'm going for a more natural look, but I always feel more comfortable with a lipstick on. I also find that the colour range offered in lipsticks is far better than in gloss. Gloss colours that are close look identical on lips, whereas lipstick colours can look subtly different. I feel like I've suddenly found home...

I'd also like to add that I picked up Chanel's Rouge Coco in Ballet Russe and WOW. I wore it on the weekend for an evening out and I was just thrilled. I'm a dark lip fanatic and this just struck a perfect balance between ultra-dark and enticing to me.

Check out Dianna Agron at the Golden Globes wearing Ballet Russe. It looks very wearable here.

^^ Oooh, that lip color looks great!  I love that is looks like it has just a bit of shine.  So pretty.

Karla Sugar's scoop on the RC Shines!: http://karlasugar.net/2011/01/sneak-peek-chanel-rouge-coco-shine/

I am feeling Evasion, Liberte, and Canotier!  Probably going to skip out on Boy when they release it on V-Day.

I cannot wait for these!  The formula looks gorgeous.  I am curious to see a swatch of Boy -- on the models it looked like a nude pink.  Hopefully more info will follow -- thanks for the link
 

Oh how exciting. March isn't far away at all!  Are you on your iPad elegant?

ipad  - & I have been trying Google Chrome just to be able to post ;)

Do you think Boy will be on-line or just in-store on Valentine's day??

I bet it'll be online. But will they give us free shipping???

I got an iPad recently but haven't gotten up to posting on here yet!  I had enough trouble on MUA.

I'm a fan of the more sheer, moisturizing formulas of l/s so this really rocks my boat! All of the pink and red/coral shades are enticing to me so I can't wait to check them out. Liberte is definitely top of the list!

Awesome!!!! on the ipad

This site is having some serious issues - but other than that the ipad will work. You just can;t thank anybody on the ipad because it goes to wiki if you  hit that button. Other than that its great

I want to know more about BOY ls - when & how its going to be sold

I can't wait for these Rouge Coco Shines!  Although I'm surprised they didn't choose to put out the Romance one for Valentine's Day.  That looks like a lovely one.  And the name is fitting.

I think Chanel wants the gentlemen to buy Boy for the ladies.

Wonder if we will get Boy on Valentine's Day too.

 yeah, thats a great idea! I just want my hubby to have to go into a store & ask for BOY for me *snickers*
