My 5 Favorite Lip Glosses

Hey pretty ladies!

Lip products are some of my favorite makeup products to buy, and probably the item I hoard the most! Check out my top 5 favorite lip glosses down below!



1.   Sephora Glossy Gloss in ‘Rusted Rose’- You know you truly love a lipgloss when you use up the whole tube and repurchase it! I love this gloss because it's creamy and soft on the lips. I'm not a fan of sticky lip glosses, so I love the texture of this one. The color is perfect for me because it is similar to my natural lip color, so it's an nice day-to-day, wearable color.

2.  Buxom Full-On Lip Cream in ‘White Russian’- I mentioned this bad boy in my April Favorites. This is basically my new holy grail lip gloss! It's perfect for on top of any nude or pink lipstick, or on its own for a casual look. My favorite way to wear it is on top of the Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in 'Blushing Beige'.

3.  Bare Minerals 100% Natural Lip Gloss in ‘Fruit Cocktail’- This is another super creamy gloss with a beautiful rose color. It's more pigmented than the Sephora gloss, so I like using it when I want some more color. I also really enjoy the 'Sugar Cookie' color of this gloss. It's basically a clear gloss with a hint of nude, and it makes your lips look plump and pouty!

4. Almay Liquid Lip Balm in ‘Pink Pout’- Apparently I have a thing for creamy, moisturizing glosses. I have a few colors from this line, but 'Pink Pout' is my favorite because it's an easy way to get a bright colored lip without drying them out.


5.  Maybelline Color Elixir Lip Color in ‘Rose Redefined’- These color Elixir's feel so good on the lips that sometimes I think it puts me in a trance and I end up looking like Joker. Ok just kidding..but besides the amazing formulation, the doe foot applicator makes the product super easy to apply. There's also a great range of colors in the line, that I will definitely be trying more of!
