Hmmmm…this is a great “competition”. Here are Merriam Websters definition of the two:
LIPSTICK: a waxy solid usually colored cosmetic in stick form for the lips.
LIP GLOSS: definition not found
So what does this say?!?! Lip-gloss is a derivative or replication of Lipstick!
I Kid. This is just MY opinion, please don’t run with it & twist it! (That tends to happen a LOT with me) Most that know me, knows that I love the simplicities in life and signature or original items. However, if there is an alternative to the signature or original item for something that is unattainable I’m ALL for it! So, back to the lip gear. My choice would be LIPSTICK! I love the fact that it was the original lip wear for women to show femininity. So classic and glamorous! Sometimes I feel as though lip gloss can be too GLOSSY and SHINY. HOWEVER, if done well and proper materials lip-gloss is still an option in my book. The point I’m making is that if I was put a hypothetical gun to my head I would choose LIPSTICK. But what I have found out recently that works for me is combining the two together. ONLY if used properly. I.e.: Nude lipstick with Nude/Crème Lip gloss.

***Disclaimer: I haven’t tried any of these cosmetic lines, but have hear nothing but MARVELOUS reports from other sources. It’s great to see strong women branding themselves for more than what they are known for in the public eye. Congrats to both these Wonderful Women!
