I love lip gloss. I hardly ever wear lipstick anymore because there are so many gloss alternatives now that wear just as long as lipstick. Glosses tend to help keep my dry lips hold moisture better, so I have chapped lips less often. I also like the sheerness of gloss. Getting hint of color is just right for me, as opposed to the less subtle pigments of lip stick. What’s the downside? After snuggling with my cat her fur tends to stick more to the gloss than the lipstick. A small price to pay for the attractive benefits of lip gloss.
