My top five lip glosses
Friday, July 13, 2012 at 10:01AM I already told you what my top five lipsticks were, so I thought it's finally time to show lip glosses some love! I don't often wear glosses as much as lipsticks, actually, but when I do I make sure they're worth the hair trap. Oh you know what I mean. Glosses are a bane on windy days but these are the ones that I find too pretty to resist.
L-R: Majolica Majorca Honey Pump Gloss Neo, Shu Uemura Gloss Unlimited in Corona Orange, VMV Hypoallergenics Lip Glitter Gloss in Cherry Pink, Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pink Pop, Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in Hoola
Here's why I love 'em!
Majolica Majorca Honey Pump Gloss Neo. Glosses are by nature flighty things. They get wiped off easily just by drinking and eating. But the Honey Pump Gloss Neo is one of the longest-lasting glosses I've tried. I can eat and still have some gloss left over. I also love how it makes the lips look fuller without being overly thick.
This shade is practically clear except for the multi-dimensional shimmer colors. It's such a great topper for lipsticks! I always use this when I want more shine and glimmer on top of matte lips.
Shu Uemura Ultimate Gloss in Corona Orange. This one is a pretty sheer orange gloss. It's non-sticky and thin on the lips. I can wear it by itself but I like it more on top of orangey or peachy tints/lipsticks.
VMV Hypoallergenics Lip Glitter Gloss in Cherry Fizz. I think this won a beauty award somewhere! It is super pigmented so much that it can be considered as liquid lipstick already. But it feels and shines like lip gloss so let's call it that. I like this red - it is so bright and leaves a pretty stain once the product is gone.
Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pink Pop. Revlon, I would have you know, makes nice lip glosses. I particularly liked the ColorBurst and Super Lustrous ones! I'd say Pink Pop is my fave out of the ones I've tried. It's a warm, fairly pigmented pink that looks young and fresh.
Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in Hoola. This gloss feelsl like liquid lip balm - my lips approve! It's practically colorless once applied so it's nice to use as a lipstick topper. It's super shiny and fills in lip lines wonderfully. I like using it with brown-based lipsticks and nudes to give them some zing.
Here are all the glosses side by side:
You'll love lip gloss even if you dont.
So there! Share what your favorite glosses are, all right? ;)

Oh, my favorite lip gloss is definitely Careline, the one that comes in a test-tube like container. It's only P60, but the quality is excellent. It's really more of a liquid lipstick than a lip gloss. I also like Maybelline's Water Shine lip gloss; once it settles into the lips, it makes them look more juicy and kissable. Also YSL's Gloss Pur; it has no shimmer, just pure gloss, and has this yummy mango scent. Too expensive for a gloss, though.
My favorite was Etude House Glassade. Unfortunately it's discontinued. That's the only lipgloss I've tried so far that doesn't make my lip dries and chapped like crazy... It makes my lip dry but still not too bad and not noticeable..... And It was the only lipgloss I use until the bottle is empty.
Another lover here of Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss. Would love to also add NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss. Nice selection of colors and there's not much chunks of glitter! :)
majolica major honey pump gloss neo... :) I love to use it when I want shine on my lips. I want that vmv lip gloss. Its like a lipstick and lip gloss in one. Its so nice!
My love for glosses died a long time ago, yes the hair trap is to blame. And to this day, I still try to keep myself from using them. The last thing that I want is to have that sticky feel over my face the moment I get out of the house. But of course, there are also times when I want to have that shimmer, so yeah no choice. What I do, to make my purchase "sulit" is to get a tinted gloss, that way I don't have to worry about looking pale. So far, Body Shop's glosses are yet to put me down but a good friend of mine gave me a Kanebo gloss last year and it was reall good, the colors are very nice and though the staying power is not very strong, it's still better compared to others. So in days when I want to put some shine my face, I use Kanebo's colored lip gloss or Body Shop's and I make sure I tie my hair so it won't be so much of a problem. ;)
