Shine On with Lip Gloss
Lip gloss is so much more than a
lip moisturizer. It's about the sparkle and
shine of the gloss to be used either as an enhancer of your favorite color, or to add a shimmer of color all on its own. Sometimes it's even about the smell or the flavor of the gloss.
If you're an avid wearer of lip gloss, then you know what you don't want. You don't want your lips to be sticking to everything including your lips themselves! What makes
Estee Lauder one of the top brands is its lack of sticky mess, not to mention the bonus of its fruity scent.
How long a lip gloss lasts is another feature to consider. It's not a good purchase if you go through the whole thing within a couple of weeks due to constant reapplying.
Bourjois and
Clinique are two top brands which provide lasting wear in their glosses.
Sometimes
lip stain and
matte are great colors, but they leave your lips exposed to become dry and chapped. A nice coat of lip gloss or lip
balm will not only bring a shine to your lips, but a little relief as well.
Fresh glosses infuse
jojoba oil and
shea butter into their formula to provide your lips an all day moist feeling.
Some lip gloss accessories include things like
glitter added into the gloss itself. If the glitter is large, note you will be able to feel the foreign objects on your lips. You will also be leaving glitter on everything your lips touch. Other glosses add in a little extra to help plump up your lips to make them more full like the
Bare Escentuals line. For fantastic lip gloss around $1, check out the
