I’m sure it comes as no surprise, but I’m a makeup collector. I collect makeup products of all sorts!
For this series, I really want to hone in on the products in my collection (by category) that have truly stood out to me, & ones that I keep returning to over-and-over again.
For this first installment, I thought it would be fun to start with lip gloss. Lip gloss is something that I use every single day – regardless if I’m wearing makeup or not.
For me, there are certain attributes of a lip gloss which can define it as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ –
I have heavily lined lips, so I need a gloss to automatically ‘juice’ up my lips & camouflage those lines! The scent is another factor; I prefer a sweetly scented gloss. Lastly, I look for glosses that provide a sheer wash of color with a slight glimmer to them in order to reflect light.
Please read on below to check-out my TOP 5 most-favorite (in order from least to greatest) lip glosses in my entire collection & why:
……
▪️Lip Gloss #5 – Bobbi Brown – ‘Crushed Oil-Infused’ Gloss
+ Color Description: sheer brown
+ Applicator: small paddle
+ Shade: ‘Free Spirit’
+ Scent: oranges
+ Price: $29 (Ulta)
+ Comments: I just love how this gloss pairs with any lip liner. It is also so incredibly cushiony & comfortable on the lips.
+ Comments: this does not feel like a plumping gloss at all – it’s very mild. I use this so much that I’m almost out of this tube & really need to pick up another replacement!
+ Comments: I don’t wear this a whole lot, because it’s expensive & I save it for best. When I’m going on a date, or going to a party, this is what I reach for. I love it ESPECIALLY because of its unique scent, it smells great!
+ Comments: Oddly, this is one of my favorites! I bought it resale because I’ve always loved Gigi & wanted to try her makeup. This certainly did not disappoint.
……
▪️Lip Gloss #1 – ShopMisu – ‘IXIA’ Lip Gloss
+ Color Description: sheer red tint w/ multicolored glitter particles
+ Applicator: large doefoot
+ Shade: ‘IXIA’
+ Scent: cinnamon bubblegum
+ Price: ? (they are bringing it back soon)
+ Comments: my absolute favorite! I love how this catches the light & makes my lips look so good! It pairs well with any liner, & is perfect when your lips are dry.
