Yes, although the amount varies based on the vendor you should expect 20% -50% off and a number of them do 30% to 40% easily. The on;y one that doesn't do a discount was NARS.

I wonder if NARS will do a discount at the makeup show? They weren't in chicago last year, but they are gonna be this year. Seeing as the makeup show is for pros only, I'm wondering if they will :hmm:

It is my understanding that NARS doesn't really like to give discounts. They have an Artist Program though...just not sure if they allow you to use that discount at The Makeup Show...you can always email them and ask. Maybe email the Artist Program email address? [email protected]

Yeah i already applied for their pro discount program. I just wasn't sure if they'd be offering it at the makeup show, as all the vendors there do offer one.

I placed an order well over a month ago with themakeupartistboutique, because I could pre-order Belladonna there. On the site they tell that pre-orders can up to 21 days, but since I still hadn't heard anything I emailed them today. I just got an email back and they just figured out that they can't get the Belladonna liptar anymore:( They wrote that they will refund me, but I want to cancel the complete order now, cause I don't want to pay shipping for just 2 liptars. I hope they won't be difficult about it. I'm so sad, because I really wanted Belladonna

I'm getting pissed off with themakeupartistboutique. They send me an email that they won't cancel my order, because there is another pre-order item in my order. On their pre-order page it says that orders with pre-ordered items can't be cancelled, because they are ordered especially for me. I would not have placed my order if I knew Belladonna would not be available and I would not have placed this order. Right now I have to pay 6 pounds for shipping for just 2 lip tars. The lip tars are also more expensive on their site than on others. I don't think this is my fault and that they should except that I want to cancel my order. I send an email back saying something along these lines. I just hope they will except it and if not I won't ever order again from their site!

I always see this being flashed around on Instagram. I'm still not convinced they look gooey to me which I don't like. I may eventually try just because of the hype but I'm trying to hold out lol

No goo at all! Full coverage, satiny-matte finish, long wearing, no tack... The best lipstick ever!!!

Really?! No tack at all? So they just stain and feel like lipstick? Maybe I will have to try these then!
None! The darker and brighter colours stain your lips after they're removed, but the product isn't a stain at all. Imagine an amplified lipstick, just in liquid form. You actually have product on yours lips, unlike a stain, which absorbs and sets. You literally use a drop hald the size of a pencil eraser for the entire lips. People use the term longwear and stain interchangeably, and they're most definitely not interchangeable.

I'm definitely intrigued now. I thought they would be sticky and if a little product goes a long way the price isn't bad. Now I'll have to swatch search like crazy lol

I'll be glad to swatch any that catches your eye, if you can't find em online. I have all the current ones (minus pennyroyal) and then some!

Been using Lip Tars for 3+ years now because of the long wearing properties of them. So long as I don't eat anything oily they stay on a full 16 hour day for me. ;)

For the amount of product you get and the staying power I would argue Lip Tars are one of the best deals on the market. I know erin said you needed half a pencil eraser, but in my experience you need even less than that. It's truly just a drop of product to cover your lips. I picked up a Pro Set of 5 and I will be throwing them in the trash before I use them up. I am confident I will have them all 5 years from now.
Now, if I could just get my hands on Katricia I'd be a happy woman.

I've found that maybe 2 drops each the size of a pin head in a lip brush is enough to cover my lips fully. And once on it lasts and lasts.
