I have a love-hate relationship with lip gloss. There is something so flattering and flirty about ultra glossy lips, yet a bad formulation can result in a gloopy, sticky mess! There is no reason to settle for a lackluster, uncomfortable gloss when there are so many gorgeous clean options to choose from!
Here are a few of my favorites!
From bottom to top - 100% Pure Lip Caramel in Rum Nougat; FitGlow Beauty Good Gloss in Liv; Ilia Beauty Lip Gloss in Heartbeat; Lily Lolo Lip Gloss in English Rose; Parlo Cosmetics Lip Polish in Glow; Vapour Organic Beauty Elixir Plumping Lip Gloss in Trust; and W3ll People Bio Extreme Lipgloss in Peachy Pink
100% Pure Lip Caramel in Rum Nougat
This product is like a hybrid lip gloss / liquid lipstick and smells like the most deliciously divine caramel treat! The formulation is thin and creamy with a lot of slip. Best of all, 100% Pure's Lip Caramels have stunning pigmentation from the addition of fruit, root, and achiote seed pigments, while their intense moisturizing effect is from pomegranate oil and cocoa butter.
FitGlow Beauty Good Gloss in Liv
This shear gloss is great for when you want that high shine look with just a hint of color! The formula is ultra glossy and nourishing without being sticky or gloopy. It also has a lovely vanilla scent! Liv is a girly, cool-toned pink that I like to apply straight from the tube before running out the door.
Ilia Beauty Lip Gloss in Heartbeat
If you are looking for an effortless red, check out Heartbeat! Whether you are amping up your rouge lipstick or wearing this gloss on its own, you will adore its silky-smooth texture! The smell is a little funky, but its sheer, pigmented formulation gives the lips a gorgeous, soft sheen.
This lip gloss smells just like chocolate! English Rose is a sheer, dusky pink that is perfect for everyday wear. The formulation is comfortably creamy and the pigmentation is rich and opaque. It's also packed Vitamin E and organic jojoba to nourish and protect your pout.
Parlo Cosmetics Lip Polish in Glow
On the lips, these polishes are ultra glossy and hydrating! The texture is almost velvety, which I adore! Definitely no sticky gloopiness here! Glow is a gorgeous, champagne pink that will flatter everyone!
RMS Beauty Lip Shine in Sacred
This Lip Shine is so luxuriously creamy! Sacred is an absolutely stunning watermelon pink that is perfectly saturated with pigment. I do find that I have to reapply this cream fairly often to maintain the glossy shine, but my lips remain plump and moisturized even after the product has worn off.
Vapour Organic Beauty Elixir Plumping Lip Gloss in Trust
Holy cannoli, these glosses are like silk! They are super rich and creamy, and the formulation is darn near perfect! One coat and you are left with a beautiful semi-opaque, super glossy finish! They also have Vapour's signature fruity scent! Love!
W3ll People Bio Extreme Lipgloss in Peachy Pink
The formulation of this gloss is incredibly soothing due to the addition of organic aloe, coconut oil, and grape seed oil. Although quite sheer, this sparkly pink has a serious shine that is moisturizing and never sticky. Not to mention, the combination of star anise, wintergreen, and spearmint give it this gloss a refreshing, minty flavor.
