Are the mini lipgelees from the holiday collection worth getting?

Thanks for sharing, my friend was asking about them so now I can tell her ...

And I still would love to see a real life pic....

I want to see a pic too. I don't have any Lipgelees but i really have a craving for them recently. Worried if the colours will suit me though, i guess they're sheer though.

Same here. I like them. Haven't experimented much though.

Thanks a lot for all your input!!

I think I might just get them as a little present for myself ;-) and try them out!

i love them but i ussually wear the lilacrush gelee...so i thought i would get the minis to try out the other ones and i really like them...

I've seen Jellybabe and would love to get a mini, also of Glosspitality. Been trying to swap for minis of both at least to no avail.

But I've heard that the lipgelees all look around the same on lips which is the one thing stopping me from getting this set so far. What do you guys think? TIA!

that's funny when you said you were asking for a friend who wanted to get them, i was going to suggest getting them for yourself too. they are fun to play with...enjoy!

hello...i don't really think they look the same on lips. maybe only in the sense that they are all pretty sheer, so the color difference isn't as much as you would notice if they were lipsticks. but to me at least they look different enough to warrant having more than one

I would love to get them but they're sold out at my location

 

[Sushi_Flower]

Nobody got pics of a set? Would love to see it.

Try doing a search for it on ebay--I think I saw a few of the set awhile ago...

 

[JesusShaves]

i bought them yesterday... and i loove them... kinda thinking it would have been better for me to have bought the full sized ones instead

)

heres a pic:

heh... the love nectar is just there for sizing... i canne find my full sized lipgelee atm to compare the minis to.

 

[Sushi_Flower]

Ooh thanks for the pic! That's great!

If you have the time and wouldn't mind could you swatch each colour on your hand and show a pic of them in the box please. It's ok if you can't, i should be able to see them soon in person hopefully.

I know heaps of people love Moistly, but I swapped away a gently tested one, because it was far too similar to something I owned already. It did leave a nice tint on the lips - I suspect they all do - but other glosses can do the same or similar thing - such as Lancome JTs I guess or DuWop Venom Glosses.

So perhaps good to have if you don't already own that sort of thing.

oh they look gorgeous-i don't know if the orange would work on me tho :S

You'd be surprised, it just tints the lips so they look corally. I was experimenting the other day with a near-orange (non-MAC!gasp!) l/s and had confirmation from a straight member of the opposite sex that it was indeed...CFM (come f*ck me, so VERY hot).

If I had the money of course, I'd buy them all though, because they are my HG lipgloss!

would you be able to post pics of you wearing Lilacrush and Glosspitality? i ♥ lipglosses and i know everyone says they're VERY sheer, but just how sheer are they? i don't really like wearing "color" on my lips.

here yee go

in the box (i threw out the insert... since i keep my other crap in there too) ... i have to say the box isnt as great as last years boxes

i found my full sized one (Lust Is Lush.. i love me some orange lipcrap)

(l-r) Glosspitality, Jellybabe, Lu-Be-Lu, Dewy Jube

i have to say on their own the colour is VERY VERY sheer.. like the tiniest hint o colour (bearing in mind my lips are quite pigmented).. which i like. But they do how ever enhance and change, if you put it over something.

I used Nars capunice (sp?) lip laquer (which im sad is kinda sheer when i use a lip brush) then i decided to add lust is lush over it... and it brightened to the orange i wanted it to be (with out having to put soo much of the nars stuff on my lips)
