 |

| Is there a premium brand of lip gloss in Korea. My co-worker is hinting that is what she would like for her birthday. |

Try buying some lip gloss from a big name brand makeup counter at one of the department stores. Brands like Christian Dior, MAC, Clinique, Estee Lauder, and Chanel would make an impressive gift. Personally, I like MAC.
or...
You could go to the Face shop or Skin Food and buy a bunch of makeup and put together a gift basket. |

Stay away from Etude house. I wanted just some chapstick because I left mine at home and my fiancee talked me into getting lip gloss from there. Super sticky; I could probably use it for glue.
Go to Lotte and find something there. Like smurfetta said, a big brand lip gloss will look like a really good gift. It's not super expensive if you just get a tube or two. I suggest a lip gloss with a tint because that usually looks good on everyone. |

MAC is by far my favourite brand for lipgloss (there are counters in most Hyundai Department Stores). Well pigmented and long wearing, plus they smell good! "Viva Glam V" (that's viva glam 5) is a personal fave and a color that I think anyone can pull off.
Dior is my second fave. |

My co-teacher bought me some Bobbi Brown lipgloss for Christmas because she said it's her favorite brand of makeup. BB *is* a good brand, but as others have mentioned, MAC makes some good gloss. I've tried the Korean brands, but most of the makeup lines are a bit sparkly and pink for my liking.
This place needs a Sephora. |

Ya, it could be #$^@ in a stick, as long as it says one of those names on the side, your golden. |

| no actually the name brands are much better quality, less sticky and longer-lasting. there is a huge difference between a 5$ lipgloss and a 20$ one! it makes for a nice present. it's definitely a 'luxury'. |
