As most of my friends can tell you, I am a lip gloss fanatic. At any given time, you can look into my purse and find at least half a dozen different lip glosses. Probably closer to a dozen. It's really hard to pick favorites, but I do have a few that stand out in my mind:
Urban Decay XXX Shine Gloss
This one's great, but be careful with the application. It is uber-shiny, so you need very little- that is, unless you want your lips to look like a solar panel. My favorite color is 'Quickie,' a hot pink. Have no fear about the colors- most of the brighter ones are sheer, so even the brightest only adds a small amount of color.
Estee Lauder Pure Pops
For some reason, these are not on Estee Lauder's site, so please excuse the amazon link. All of the flavors are delicious, but I've been on a peppermint kick lately, so right now the peppermint flavor is my favorite. The 'Blush On Color' is cool, and I like having an applicator brush attached to the tube, but I will warn you- the cap comes off very easily, and after tossing around in your purse, the brush gets very gross. All in all, though, a great product.
Borghese B Gloss Lip Gloss
Now, I had never heard about this company, but I always enter the monthly drawings on Luckymag.com. This was the first time I won anything and received a bag full of Borghese makeup and skin products (which I will definitely be reviewing soon). In the bag was a lip gloss (as if I need any more of those). Lo and behold, I'm a convert now. I love the stuff. It has just the right amount of shine, but without getting that solar-panel effect I warned you about with the Urban Decay. It also tastes great, and is one of the few lip glosses in my purse that don't go on sticky. I highly recommend it.

I could have written the first paragraph. I too am a lip gloss addict. I also love eyeshadow. You can never have enough eyeshadow and lip gloss.
borghese huh? I'll have to check it out.
My favorite lip gloss these days is Bare Escentuals. Really pretty, natural colors. And then my old standby gorgeous is Chanel Glossimer in Spark. Lately, I've been layering it with Vincent Longo's lip and cheek stain in Baby Boo - very pretty.
I need new lip gloss like I need a hole in the head.
Velvet- see, I'm with you on the gloss, but not the eye shadow. I really only wear a tiny bit, since I am constantly rubbing my eyes.
Carrie- yeah, def check out Borghese. Their mascara is great as well. I'll have to try the ones on your list. Any excuse to buy Chanel.
ooh ooh, then if you're going to Chanel, try the Imitable (SP? I can never spell that damn word) mascara. I think they have samples. I've actually switched from DiorShow to it, so you know it's serious. Although I'll never completely give up on DiorShow.
