Sticky formulas in lip glosses are just NOT it. As someone who understood the assignment, I made it my mission to find glosses that are actually worth your money. Feel free to take a look. Everything on this list comes from my personal experience, so...

All Time Favourites

These are the ultimate compliment-getters, the glosses that make lips look kissable. If you want that ‘what’s on your lips?’ moment, these are the ones for you.

I honestly can’t remember a time I wore this gloss and didn't get a compliment on how plump my lips looked. My girl, I invested in this one, and it absolutely paid off. I find the shade Casual works best for me. I love that it’s neither too pink nor ...

I have to tell you a story about this gloss. My family and I were visiting Barcelona, and we discovered that the Sephora there has a real underground slide! It was honestly such an amazing experience. Back to the lip gloss. I picked the shade Coconut...

Truth be told, I bought this gloss mostly for the aesthetic. It just looked way too cute to pass up, right? What I didn’t expect was how genuinely good the product is. Sure, there are more affordable options that give a similar effect, but this one j...

If I had to handpick the best gloss for fall, it would definitely be this one. It’s a hidden gem so most people haven’t even heard of it, which honestly makes it even better. I don’t know about you, but I’m not a fan of buying something that’s alread...
Ami Colé Lip Treatment Oil

On-Budget Lippies

For my broke queens, (just like me) these glosses are the best high-end dupes without the luxury price tag.

This was the very first lip gloss I ever bought, and it’s still a favorite. The formula is lightweight, so it never feels heavy or sticky on your lips. Plus, it’s super affordable. I especially recommend the shades Crystal Clear and Sweet Dreams. The...

This gloss is, quite simply, THAT girl. There’s a whole range of stunning shades, but I often reach for 05 Crème Brûlée. It’s the perfect balance, neither too pink nor too brown, and always makes a statement.
NYX Professional Makeup Butter Gloss

The first time I bought this lip gloss was in NYC, since we don’t have e.l.f. in Europe, and I ended up buying three to take home with me. I’m now down to my last bottle, carefully squeezing out every drop and hoping to find more soon. I went for the...

Maybelline did it AGAIN with this gloss. It’s absolutely worth all the hype on social media. You can definitely feel a gentle plumping effect, but it’s never uncomfortably strong. Definitely a must-have lip gloss to keep with you for any occasion. My...
MAYBELLINE NEW YORK Lifter Gloss

Okay, storytime, so I saw this gloss online and just had to try it. This gloss immediately stole my heart. It goes on smooth, feels light, and leaves this gorgeous, glassy shine with just the right hint of gold shimmer. I love wearing it solo for a s...
Isamaya Chrome Lip Lacq

The formula feels luxe but light, and the subtle shimmer catches the light in the prettiest way. My personal fave? Elson, a soft rosy nude that somehow works with everything—jeans and tee or a full glam look. Honestly, it’s one of those glosses that ...

Okay, so my friend recommended I try this lip gloss, and I thought, “Sure, why not?” But wow… the second I swiped it on, I was obsessed. It’s sparkly without being too much and feels super light on the lips. The shade Celestial is my favorite. It’s l...

Okay, so I grabbed the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Shimmer Glass Plump mostly on a whim, and wow… I didn’t expect to love it this much. The moment I swiped it on, my lips felt instantly soft and had this subtle, catching-the-light shimmer that made me k...
