Gloss

Are you looking for a traditional lip gloss? These are my selections to beat a heavy and sticky pout. Re-apply as you desire! Layering up is not a problem. Wear these glosses on their own or with liner and your other favorite lippies.

These have the most beautiful mild shine that gracefully wears away to reveal a stain. You can wipe the shine off but I choose to enjoy it while it lasts.

The most basic of glosses. A bit more on the heavier stickier side but not bad. Pigmentation varies across the line.

These SPF glosses have a surprising amount of pigment. They don't taste like SPF. They are lightweight but very glossy. Not sticky.

You do have to like a thicker and stickier lip gloss to go for these. But, the colors are so nice for summer and the taste is enjoyable.

I'm obsessed with the shade creme brulee! It's the perfect daily pinky nude. This formula is so shiny but pigmented at the same time. Lightweight and conditioning.

This is a thicker lip gloss that smooths out your lip lines for a more plumped appearance. It's not actually a lip plumper. The applicator is a small, flat plastic paddle that spreads the product. You get a milky wash of color that is glossy and juic...

Oil

Lip oil is not a lip gloss despite what people may say! Yes, it looks and wears like a lip gloss, but the formula is primarily oils that condition your lips. These are my favorites. None of these have leaked in my purse.

I don't fully subscribe to the hype. These have a glass like shine and I like them for that. More sheer on the pigment. They leave your lips feeling normal.

This is wet n wild's lip oil formula with plumping ingredients added. It smells like a plumper. It's not painful! The feeling is a mix between minty and spicy that tingles. There is no taste or smell. The shine is there. It plumps! I see the less lip...

Balms + In The Middle

This category is for glossy lip products that aren't exactly oils or true lip glosses. A little bit of everything for you to explore a glossy look.

You do have to like a thicker formula to enjoy these. Not exactly a Tarte dupe. Be sure not to click them up too high as you can't push them back down.

I wear these like a gloss with some lip liner because they are super shiny! They are heavily flavored/scented. Not sticky or heavy. The applicator is slanted and squishy.

For the squeeze tube balm lovers! This formula is tasty, shiny, and has a sheer wash of color. It's thicker to grip your lips longer, but still re-apply as needed. The smell and scent is not over done. It leaves your lips feeling conditioned.

This product has a strong watermelon scent and taste. It washes the lips with medium coverage color that is very shiny and glosses over lip lines for a juicy look.
