@PansyBoo  Thanks! Don't you hate that bleeding of color! ugh!

Don't feel bad I'm a slow learner too, I've got a house full of junk that I had to have at the time but never use or isn't practical for my life....I'm learning.

Yes, aren't those cheap glosses great. I'm definitely more of a drugstore makeup girl for the most part.

I have 3 of the plumping ones in the shimmer glass version (rose, berry, and soft pink).  I got the first one at Ulta.  The other 2 I got on HSN either as a TSV or on Amy Morrison's beauty show on Wednesday nights.  One of the few lip sets that felt like I could wear both colors.  That's one reason I have no interest in today's TSV.  I know I wouldn't wear some of the colors, so it's just a waste.

Obviously, I like them or I wouldn't have ordered the HSN set.  I disagree with their claim that there's not any sensation with the plumping ones.  I guess they say they don't sting, which is true, but there is a sensation, more of a cooling sensation.  I happen to like the sensations though, whether it's cooling or stinging.  I've never used a plumpler that actually did any plumping or even made my lips look plumper.  There is a bit of an odor to them, but not enough for me to find objectionable.  

I almost always wear a gloss over lipstick, but these can be worn alone too, especially the soft pink shade that came from HSN.  There's enough of a gloss that my lips don't look bare, but nothing like the goopy lips in the presentation.

I like them. They last a long time and improve the lip texture. One warning--the plumper type feels a little tingly (not in a bad way). My husband kissed me once and about 20 seconds later he was shocked and asked "What the heck is on your lips?" Hahaha.

 I like a thicker gloss if you know what I mean 

Lips and lashes are my thing.  With over 80 lipglosses, yeah, I know what you mean (g)  Someone here once asked me how many pink lipglosses does one woman need.  I'll let her know when I've made it to that point

if you go for them just an FYI -  IDK what the shades are in the TS but the neutral colors are so MEH on the lips ... 

i got one of these when Tarte had a View Your Deal offer a few weeks ago.   yeah it tingles slightly on the lips but the color i got is so blahhh. i got primrose and on my lips it is like a nude lip...

and another thing hopefully Tarte fixed is i only got about 5 or 6 clicks when you push up the lip product and THATS IT!  the rest you dig out with a brush or something.  see on Trte's site per Tarte's reccs.

Do you think that watching a shopping channel with hard sell salespeople attributes to the over buying of products?  I bought too many eyeshadow palettes but the ones I decluttered went to good homes.  All my other makeup, I have no regrets buying and anything I didn't like, I was able to return to Sephora, free return shipping.  Just sayin'

@Icegoddess Thanks, yes, they seem to get good reviews so you and some of the other posters aren't alone in your liking of them. I always wear a gloss over my lippy too, just looks more juicy.

I do love a good gloss @Glittergalbut one with a nice zing for your kissing partner is an added bonus! Zing Zame ....Dangerous!haha

@monicakm Never too many! I love a good ballet/barbie pink lip gloss/balm.

Do you have a favorite milky lightish pink one?

Oh yeah, absolutely! They are very convincing but also I do find that sometimes the special sets are very good values and do save a lot of money from regular B&M stores.

Like the HSN special...I guess 1 is $24.00 or you can get a set of 5 with a liner for $42.00. That's really unbelieveably well priced for the number of items included. I think I'd use all but 1 of the glosses.

I know if I buy value or BOGO or sets of things that I know I love and use I have saved lots of money....Love those value sets!

@CatsyCline  Thanks, I do love a nude lip....I'm a blah girl. haha.

I know some like brighter shades and would think they are Meh. 

But 5 or 6 clicks? That's not good!

[GingerHead]

Ya'll, now I don't know what to do again! haha

.....I decided against it then I saw  some good reviews and now well....hmmmm
