Are the mini lipgelees from the holiday collection worth getting?

[mima]

hi girls,

when the lip gelee collection first came out earlier this year, i only bought moistly because it was supposed to be the most pigmented, and a pretty colour, but i only used it like twice, before i forgot about it a drawer. i am mostly a lipglass and lustreglass girl, and occasionally a lipstick girl, and i have pigmented lips, so i almost always go for pigmented lip products, and the lip gelees are just so sheer. but when the minis came out, i couldn't resist, i picked up the set. the weird (and wonderful) thing is that since then, i haven't stopped using them! even though there are four different colours, they all look so similar on me they're interachangeable. normally, this would bug me. but i'm delighted with my purchase! they have such an awesome texture! and wow, they are so moisturizing on my yucky chapped, winter-stricken lips! they make them look so luscious, i can't stop looking in the mirror. so now i have one mini lipgelee in my purse, one in my backpack, one in my jacket pocket and one on my bedside table, so there's always one within easy reach. i love them!

Yay for you!!

Can you tell me what's the size in ml? I need to know if I'm better to buy them full-sized with my pro card, or have the set as a christmas gift!

By the way, just a warning for the lipgelee in your jacket pocket (or if you place it in your pants pocket), some girls had a problem with the packaging... the tube opened! Sticky mess!

I've never tried them because I wondered about their "staying power." I suppose it's one of those things I need to experience for myself, huh? Everyone who writes about them seems to love them. The holiday set would be a great way to give them a try.

How do they compare to Lancome Juicy Tubes? Because apart from Beach Plum (wow! just discovered this colour yesterday) i hate them because they're so sheer and clear on my pigmented lips.

they are 9ml .30us floz

Does anyone have a pic of this set? the pic on mac.com is way too discolored!!

They are much silkier than JT's and very sheer but IMO show up more.

OMG that's a great size! I though it was smaller, like for example:

Mini shadesticks are 0.4g, and the regular is 1.5g! That's so small!

Hmmm, I might have to get those too.

 

[midnightlouise]

I got my set Monday & I am loving them! The colors look kind of scary at first, but they're so sheer that they're all totally wearable. Makes me want more!

Oh, VV, I would take a pic for you, but my floppy drive is still effed and my digital cam uses floppy disks if you can believe such a thing lol!

 

[liquidsirenhoney]

i love mine i just got them...but i wear the lip gelees any ways, but it hink it was definitely worth the money.

 

[aerials]

I love lipgelees, I have Lilacrush and Glosspitality... but I think it's a little pointless to get so many just because like the first poster said, they are all fairly sheer and interchangeable. If I had the money of course, I'd buy them all though, because they are my HG lipgloss!

not sticky at all! i was amazed when i first tested them out. not sticky like the lipglasses and lustreglass.. you know when its windy out and you're wearing lipglass and your hair sticks on your lips.. with lip geles- NO STICK! very smooth and not as thick as lipglass =] hth!

I contemplate getting the mini lipgelees since I don't have any of the full sized lipgelees yet. When they came out I wasn't entirely convinced that they'd do anything for me since they seem so sheer and thin, but now I'm tempted because the mini sized ones look so cute ...

What do you think? Do you like your lipgelees in the colours which are offered in the set (Lu-Be-Lu, Glosspitality, Dewy Jube and Jelly Babe)? I've seen swatches and even swatched them on my hands when the full sized ones came out, but how do you like these particular colours on your lips?

I'd be glad for any help as to decide whether to get them or not! Thanks in advance!

 

[kradge79]

I would say if you want to try them, the minis are the way to go. I have Lu-Be-Lu and love it, and I know my mom has Glosspitality and Jelly Babe and she loves those too! Lu-Be-Lu is a great pink to perk up neutrals. Good luck!

i think i want to get them. i saw them the other day and they dont look that tiny at all!!!

 

[MACmermaid]

i think they are worth getting. i was on the fence about them and then bought them on an impulse

the colors are very workable (even the orange and red ones), and i find i'm using them over lipsticks to change/boost the color/add more gloss, or just alone w/o lipliner. they are a decent size too. HTH
