When was the last time you loved your lip color so much you actully finished it?

I know a few colors to be my absolute favorites but actually finishing one to the last oz or drop. I dont exactly pile it on like some women do. My lips are not my favorite feature so its not usually the one I 'play up'. Im more of a eyeliner/masscara-whore but we'll get to that later. I have lip glosses in every color; pink, coral, red, brown, lavender, or a combination of two or three, ones that plump, ones that shimmer, matte ones, bold ones and sheer ones But they all apear to be as full as the day I bought them. Ive got a drawer full of them, my purse is stuffed with them, they're in my studio on shelves, in my living room with the books, in my kitchen with the gum and scissors. I could fill a warehouse bin if I search the house thoughly enough.
There was One! Back when I had my own Avon lady, I was young and knew nothing of makeup. I fell in love with a lipstick. Pink Dusk Rose! I loved it so much I bought 3 tubes after the first. I still have one last one with 5 or more uses left. Avon no longer carries it so I was off searching for something like it. I ran across L'oreals Saucy Sands, beautiful colour but I cant stand the smell of it. It has an old lady makeup smell, I dont know how else to explain that. Then I found Maybelines moisture whip Sugar Plum Ice! Its slightly more nude but still has that lipstick smell. I dont know what I expected. It Is lipstick. Then I found Prestiges Pink Sands. Its nearly perfect, smooth, no smell, with moisture, but it doesnt last very long at all. Finally I landed on Bare Escentuals Wearable Nude. Holy crap this stuff is awesome. Its got everything I could want, no if it just wasnt so damn expensive.
Now who could forget the perfect sticky shinny glossy lip balm? Oddly with lipsticks I lean toward the pink-nudes! But with glosses I got for corals and uber bright reds! I tried CG's wetslicks fruit spritzers. Love the taste of the Strawberry Splash but the thing is just to darn sticky. I think I landed on this one about the time Lynae and I spent too much time crusing in the Jeep with the top and our hair down, mixed with lip gloss bad combination. Same thing with Lancomes Juicy tubes, ultra brillant and shiny, super sticky, loved the Magic Spell one but it had a daquiri smell but yummy taste to it. So I tried something different. Sinful Colors lip gloss. The tube doesnt say what color it is but its a very deep blood red! Love the color! Goes on smooth but stains slightly and bleeds which I was not a fan of. Im 24, I dont need to look like Im 4 and got into mommys makeup. Been there done that. haha. Then I hit the jackpot. I ran across, it was actually a "been standing in line for 20 minutes, rumaging through impulse item place lip glosses" kind of buy. I was at Victorias Secret when I found Beauty Rush. I must say every time I go back I leave with a new color. Fineapple is my absolute favorite Im on my third tube. Peach Buzz, CarriBerry, and Pearadise come in close seconds but I havnt finished the first tube of those ones. But I must say once I came across DuWop and its Lip Venom I was in love! I can never have too much of this one!! Its clear so you can put it over everything. I even put it over my Burts Bees!!
Soo, Is there a certain one you buy everything they've got or perhaps you have a favorite I should try!
