Hello!
This week I wanted to share with you the only three lip glosses you will ever need! I have tried tons and tons of lip glosses, these are the ones I constantly reach for when I’m doing my makeup. I am not a liquid lipstick fan, I don’t like how dry and uncomfortable they make my lips feel. I don’t mind regular matte lipsticks, but I feel like glossy lips are more flattering on me. I love wearing either my ELF matte lip color in the shade “Natural”, or a lip liner underneath my glosses. I’m sharing two drug store options, and one that is a little bit of a splurge, but totally worth it! I will go in order starting with my third favorite to my absolute favorite.
First are the NYX Butter Glosses. These glosses are a cult favorite for all beauty lovers. This is because they come in 34 shades and you can’t beat the $5 price! I own seven of the shades, one I recently purchased and somehow lost. I always wondered how people lost their makeup, and now here I am. The shade I can’t find was called Maple Blondie, it is a really pretty coral pink. These glosses are very easy to apply, and smell like vanilla frosting. They are not the most opaque and long lasting, but they look very pretty on. If you don’t mind reapplying throughout the day, I highly recommend. I swatched the colors I own. Creme Brulee and Tiramisu are my favorite!
Next are the Lorac Alter Ego Lip Glosses. These will cost you $17, but they give you a lot better color payoff than the NYX glosses. The Lorac glosses come in 15 different shades. All of the shades are very wearable, too. These last a decent amount of time and also smell like vanilla frosting. The color payoff is so nice, you don’t even have to wear a liner underneath! They are a few bucks cheaper than some other higher end glosses, and I really love the formula. Duchess is my favorite shade, it’s a nice rosey pink. Seductress is no longer available, I think the shade Muse would be the closest match.
These last glosses I just recently tried, but I think they are the best gloss I’ve ever use! Especially for the price! They are the Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Hot Lacquer Lip Glosses (what a mouth full). These glosses are so amazing because the color payoff is wonderful AND they last so long! They are a thicker formula that dries down a tiny bit so that they stay on. They do not dry out by any means, they just become a little less sticky. I wore the shade Charmer out to get Mexican Food with my husband, and it seriously looked almost perfect when I was done eating! This includes eating chips and salsa. I can’t say enough good things about this gloss. If you want a lip color that lasts a really long time and feels very comfortable on the lips, I highly recommend these glosses! Plus they cost less than $7 at Target! I only have two shades, but I definitely plan on getting more. They come in 12 shades, including nudes and some bright blues and purples.
