The problem is, everyone complains about the sticky feel for glosses, so brands try to take that out. If a gloss is not sticky, it will not have great staying power. A gloss is just a gloss, wear it on-top of lipstick for a glossy-shine, or by itself for a sheer wash of color. I do agree though that liquid lipsticks are nice, but they are called that because they are lipsticks, not glosses. I personally love this spoiler!
I'm not excited by the spoiler either. I don't particularly care for gloss and the description for these glosses says they are volumizing. Usually volumizing/plumping lip products irritate my lips so this might not be for me.
Well, I guess between staying power and stickiness, I would pick to have the stickiness removed anyway. And yes, I do often wear glosses over lipstick. For me though, it is the hybrids that I am falling in love with. Not liquid lipsticks, as I tried the Too Faced Melted and found even it was a bit too drying for me, but actual hybrids. My favorite so far is the Lancome Lip Lover line. I also like the YSL glossy stains that I consider hybrids, but I've only tried a sample of them. I have one Dior fluidstick, but I don't find it as impressive. I also love Dior Addict/Extreme lipsticks and the YSL equivalent whose name I forget right now. To me, those are kind of hybrids too. They are lipstick like but they aren't drying and they give a bit of a sheen to the lips. I guess I'm just discovering what I like at long last. I also think maybe I'm a touch tired of Tarte, so perhaps that factors in as well. Who knows? Maybe I'll love it when I get it in my hands, lol!
Haha those YSL products always have the most fascinating names that I can not remember too! Yeah, I tried the Too Faced ones and though they were also on the drying side too.
I was right on the nail polish! Now just waiting to see if I guessed one of this month's brands!
So it looks like Boxycharm is doing something similar to Ipsy!

All of the items look great!
It also does not seem like it is super hard to get points!
I don't like Cairo or Paris at all. Not really feeling Beijing either. London would be my first choice and Moscow looks ok. Makes me a bit nervous of which one I'll get, tbh, and I get the impression it is hard to trade because not as many people sub to Boxycharm. Oh well, sending out good vibrations into the universe for London...Yay!!! New Spoiler! Although this may not be the best brand, these palettes looks super cute!!! :smilehappyyes:

These all look really great! I am hope I will get Cairo or Beijing! Moscow looks fun too! Hopefully I will not get Paris though, that palette does not really interest me, it looks really dark.
What do you guys think?
No, you don't have to remain subscribed for any period of time to receive charm points. You get some upon joining, then with every referral, they credit you with 500 charms, and for every product review, you get 50 charms.
Thanks. I was talking about the loyalty points though. I think that's what they are called. Sorry I didn't explain that well. I believe it is 450 points after 3 months. I'm still wondering if I shouldn't just skip this month though. While I like Tarte, the gloss doesn't excite me.

I didn't know they had loyalty points. They are holding up 400 points of mine- would be enough to get one of any of their products with the points added in, and I haven't subbed to this box for very long at all.Thanks.

Derp, as I was writing this, I happened to recall that I'm supposed to be getting a replacement item in my box for a broken item last month. Rats!!! Guess I shouldn't skip after all.
I bought them all a year or so ago, and never used a single one. Threw them away about 2 months ago. The quality is " OK" but they aren't an exciting product to me. I like the Tarte product much better than the NCLA polish or the Coastal Scents shadows.Yay!!! New Spoiler! Although this may not be the best brand, these palettes looks super cute!!! :smilehappyyes:

I think I read in their FAQ or something that you have to remain subbed. Or maybe it was in that email I just got. I unsubbed for two months so I wont be getting them. It's not worth it anyway. To stay subbed for items you don't want just to get Charms. Know what I mean?Thanks. I was talking about the loyalty points though. I think that's what they are called.

Yeah, I know. I actually think I would cancel if it wasn't for the replacement item, which they said would be in my next box. Sucks that they couldn't just send it to me by itself.
