wearable and comfortable everyday picks.
high shine and long lasting. pigment increases over time. As body temperature warms the product once applied color can be come more.
Lip Glow Oil Hydrating High-Shine Gloss - DIOR | Sephora
tingles. 001 pink is my favorite shade but in this product the shade is a little bit more clear and neutral than the in the lip oil. sheer, light weight, and a more subtle shine
Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Plumping Gloss - DIOR | Sephora
glazes over the lips. better for use in warmer climates and summer months. thicker glossy finish without being heavy or sticky. has a peach scent.
Yves Saint Laurent YSL Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick
i've used these for year and have probably repurchased them 8-10 times. berry and grapefruit are my favorite. sheer color, glassy shine, and hydrating. I often use this as a layer underneath my other lip products for the slightest tint of color.
LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm
thicker texture without being too heavy. subtle scent. high shine. vanilla and vanilla beige are the best!
Lip Butter Balm - Summer Fridays | Sephora
glittery
glitz and glam.
the most glittery lip glosses. bronze venus and pale fire nectar are my favorite shades. consider layering it, on its own it can lean more metallic than glossy. fun colors.
LUST: Lip Gloss - PAT McGRATH LABS
really strong scent and noticeable tingle but the lemon lava shade has a gorgeous golden shine. i don't notice any plumping but the sensation triggers blood to rush to the surface of the lips making them pinker and coated in a golden glitter.
Gloss Bomb Heat Universal Lip Luminizer + Plumper - Fenty Beauty by Rihanna | Sephora
good balance between shine, pigment, and glitter. strong scent.
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Lip Gloss | Sephora
clear & high shine
true glossy finish.
good if you like the more traditional lip gloss texture. thick and slightly sticky but still comfortable to wear. high shine. tingly (but haven't noticed any real plumping effect). one of my favorite completely clear glosses. strong minty smell.
Glaze Original Pout Bomb Plumping Gloss - Revolution Beauty | Ulta Beauty
glimmery shine, "liquidy" effect. completely clear. lightweight. finishes quickly.
Clear Lip Lacquer - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
tinted
touch of color.
has a toned down shine. pigmented with no glitter. pairs well with lip liners.
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Cream Gloss | Sephora
pretty colors with subtle shimmer. layers well with lip liners. moderately pigmented.
KAJA Gloss Shot | OLIVE YOUNG Global
haven't found my perfect shade yet but has a good formula. not sticky and sits evenly on the lips. buildable pigmentation. best during warm months or warmer climates.
Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm - Hourglass | Sephora
lip masks
unexpected for a lip gloss.
glossy lip mask with cute packaging. has a grapefruit scent and a jelly-like texture. keeps lips soft. could be too sticky for everyday wear.
TOCOBO - Vita Glazed Lip Mask | YesStyle
