I wear lipstick....which isn't too bad...considering that mascara is made of bat crap! Yes that's what the base is to mascara. I guess they can find uses for everything these days!

so in which countries and which brands use guano? can you back this up with actual facts. the vast majority of make up is not made from whale fat, guano, fish scales or any of the other things people seem to spread about as it being made from. ever read the ingredients on the side of your make up packaging?

have you ever seen it on an ingredients list? I know I haven't. and it's definitely not in vegan make up.

Oh I did not know those, thanks for the information. Still it doesnt make lipstick less appealing to me. I wear both. I apply first lip gloss for protection, lipstick follows then or sometimes I put lip gloss again over the lipstick.

definitely don't let it put you off. the information is innacurate.

I don't really use lipstick these days, I would use lip gloss, I feel that it dries out my lips less and I love the glossy feeling on my lips.

yeah eww. I prefer lip gloss but I hardly ever wear anything on my lips. I have never found a lipstick shade that goes well with my face, but have found a lot of lip glosses that look good on me. I do try to wear chap stick quite a bit.

The fact that lipstick is made out of fish scales and wax doesn't really bother me at all. Sometimes I'd wear lipstick to give my lips a desired color, but most of the time I'd prefer to stick with lipgloss. It's just easier to maintain, and I don't get the embarrassing gunk stuck on my teeth. Haha. xD

once upon a time, yes that would have been the case. not so anymore. and what's so bad about wax? I wear lipstick. a lot of companies produce make up that is vegetarian or vegan. so definitely no fish scales. I don't like the appearence of lip gloss, it looks slimy.

lol, I know what is in lipstick, and yet of the two, I prefer lipstick. Lipgloss always leaves my lips feeling very sticky. I rarely wear anything other than chapstick though.

Lip gloss,,, I am usually staying in an air-conditioned place, I am avoiding to have chap or dry lips.

I don't wear either. Based on what you say here, I'm just as glad. I wouldn't want fish scales on me. Wax, maybe. But I prefer the natural look. Occasionally, I will use chapstick (burt's bees or something like that). But other than that, I don't use anything.

I was once a lipstick addict, but when lipgloss came out I slowly disposed off my lipsticks and turned to lipgloss. Now I'm slowly making my way to lipsticks once again, but I hate how they make my lips look wrinkled. :( I think it would still be lipgloss for now, until I find the perfect lipstick...I guess.
