I've been thinking about this lately. I used to always carry at least 3 lip glosses in my purse at all times but now they've all been replaced by lipstick and lip stains (I'm loving Joe Fresh lip stains - cheap and effective). For me it's all about a more pigmented bright lip that will last, and if I want a slightly glossier effect there are lipsticks that offer that.

Honestly I don't know if I'll want to go back to lip gloss if/when the tides turn. I'm so over my hair sticking to my lips whenever the wind blows and I think it would get hard to get used to the feeling of gloss again.
