I TOTALLY agree! I can't remember the last time I used lipgloss on myself, or on one of my clients. Ever since I started using Benetint about 8 years ago, I haven't looked back! Plus, I find that so many new lipsticks have a wonderful moisturizing consistency that doesn't necessitate layering on gloss overtop (or aftewards). Lipstick formulas have really improved, and are far less drying than they used to be.
