I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again- I definitely prefer matte lips on myself. I like a glossy lip on other people and think that it can be a really fun look, but I’ve found that matte lips just suit me better. That doesn’t stop me from picking up the occasional glossy lip product though. The other day I grabbed one of the newish Revlon Moisture Stains because I was curious and had heard good things. When I first tried it on, I wasn’t really sure about the color or the gloss. After wearing it for a bit, I decided I do like it a lot more when the color sinks in a bit and the gloss fades away. Anyways, I want to hear your thoughts on this!
Tell me: Do you prefer matte lips or glossy lips?
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!

It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

Me too, I prefer matte!

I much prefer matte lips too, but the problem is that my lips get dry easily so I always need to apply lip balm or gloss :( So, lately I’ve been loving stains as well! Much prefer them over lipstick and they last longer for me…lately been using the Sephora brand stain!
My lips get dry easily too! Is it this lip stain you’re talking about? http://www.sephora.com/cream-lip-stain-P281411?skuId=1296060

Ahh, thanks for the link!
i definitely like matte lips too!
Oh, that’s a tough one! I don’t know if I could choose. I probably do glossy more but I don’t think I like either best.
I think that matte lipstick looks better on me too! I don’t like the feel of glossy lipstick because it’s usually too sticky!
