I currently have two awesome lip glosses I’ve been using regularly and figured I would share them here! On a day-to-day basis I don’t wear a lot of makeup, but lip gloss is a staple… probably the only staple I really have at this point, lol. When I find good glosses I like to hang on to ‘em, and I love the two I’m using now.
Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush lip gloss – Puddin’ Pie
This was a hesitant buy after I tried the VS Sweet Talk lip gloss a loooong time ago (which I think was among their first lip glosses?). I didn’t mind that gloss because it was so shiny & lasted a really long time, but it was so sticky that it got a little aggravating to wear. This new Beauty Rush gloss is formulated much better; it’s still sticky, but not bad enough to make you not want to wear it. The flavor I got, Puddin’ Pie, is absolutely yummy and seriously tastes like chocolate pudding. The color is pink in the tube with sparkles, and on your lips it comes out shiny & a bit sparkly, with a teeny touch of pink color. It also lasts quite a long time on your lips. I don’t know about the other colors/flavors but this one is great, definitely worth giving a shot!
C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint – Magenta Mint
I have never met a Bigelow lip gloss I didn’t like, but this one is one of my favorites. It has 2% peppermint oil in it, advertised “for fresh breath” although I haven’t found that to make a difference, but I love the minty tingle! I bought a pretty strong cinnamon oil one from them one time, and the ones with the peppermint oil are much better. The color of this one is Magenta Mint, and looks darker in the tube than it comes out. It gives you slight color & a whole ton of shine. As compared to the Beauty Rush, it doesn’t last quite as long because it isn’t as thick, but it does feel better on your lips.
Both of these glosses are available for about $7/tube: the Beauty Rush obviously from Victoria’s Secret, and the Bigelows I get at Bath & Body Works. The Bigelows go on sale pretty frequently. I’m using both about equally and am quite happy for now with them!
