Best natural lip gloss/stick/stain

I’ve been on the lookout for a range of glosses or lipsticks that are natural (no nasties) and are of a high quality. I really like Burt’s Bees lip shimmers (watermelon is lovely) but I’m not keen on the carmine (crushed beetles is not so nice). I’ve also tried U Little Beauty and wasn’t really impressed. Too oily for my liking and and like a bit of colour…

I just find it so bizarre that we put all these chemicals on our lips – the easiest place to absorb them!!

Any suggestions??

    Thanks Bide – I had read about some of those places – it’s very clever to have set them up! Will have to look into prices etc to see if it’s worthwhile.

    Elmo, I usually just get my family in the US to buy stuff for me and then mail it, and I pay them back online.

    If you don’t know anyone in the US that’s willing to do that though, you can try “this service”:http://www.earthclassmail.com/ (there are others like it too). What it does is it gives you a United States post office box address, that you can use to purchase things. So companies like Sephora will ship to that address. Then the service will forward the package to your Australian address. It’s a really good way of getting around not being able to order something from the US.

    I can’t wait either. I also did something rather foolish and ordered a Bare Minerals Lipstick because I have never tried a mineral lipstick before and it seemed to have great reviews. It was so expensive and I never ever spend that much on a lipstick, so I hope it is liquid gold for the price I paid, if not I will not be impressed, LOL.

    oh Mel that sounds fancy =) can’t wait till you get your goody

    My sister loves the Benetint but I just found that average really, but I am eying Kiehl’s cranberry lip balm. It looks sooo nice, but I have so many I need to finish off that I can’t justify buying them =(

    LOL Nickyb82 I will post here as soon as I get it and let you know what it’s like, not sure how long it will take as postage to here can be slow sometimes, mid next week at the latest I would think 🙂

    Melmeko, I would love to hear what you think of the stain. I really want to order one but I have so many different things on order at the moment. Need to slow down a little!!

    I just ordered a Shitzen Lip Stain can’t wait to try it out 🙂

    Oh I completely agree with you there! Love it when our dollar is strong – we get so much more for better value!

    Yep Lanolips are in Priceline – I really want them too! 🙂

    I have to admit that now that the dollar is so strong it’s hard not to buy from the US! There are so many fantastic deals… I would so love to support Aussie grown products (like Moogoo. Absolutely fantastic company) if only there was more around for a reasonable price.

    I really have to slow down a bit. If my other half knew how much I was purchasing he would not be happy!

    I keep meaning to try Lanolips. They’re sold in Priceline aren’t they?

    I know – Australia has such ridiculous taxes put on brands. It’s stupid. I wish we could buy more from the US! Some brands won’t ship out here, which is annoying. I so wish Sephora shipped to here! And I wish skinstore would ship more stuff here.
