5 Must-Have Lip Glosses

I've always been a lip gloss lover- even all year round. I think it's important to add hints of shine to your makeup, especially as we are leaning towards the darker and gloomier seasons. So, I thought it was time that I put together a collection of my all time favourite glosses. Even though they are in order, there is so little between them all, so I suggest you read each review and see what gloss you think would suit you! Finally, all these glosses are a mixture of prices- I have a couple of higher end products and a few drug store ones too.

5.  Benefit Coralista

Coralista is a creamy, bright, coral lip gloss (hence the name) which claims to have an ultra-push effect. As a matter of fact, I do agree with this, as it leaves my lips feeling larger and more plumped than usual. On top of this, this gloss is verging on a matte consistency, just with a gloss finish. This is great if you don't want a great amount of sparkle on your lips and to wear on an everyday basis. You can purchase Coralista here for £14.50- which for a high end brand is an average price for a lip gloss, however it isn't the cheapest!

4. Gilly Hicks Lip Colour

Next up, I have quite an old lip gloss from Gilly Hicks, in fact I think I purchased this around two years ago but I have loved it ever since! This gloss has a very creamy but not too thick consistency with a luscious vanilla scent which makes it smell very unique and feminine! You can't currently buy this online (it's normally £10), however there is a very similar gloss on Gilly Hicks which you can buy here (and it's on sale for around £1!) 

3. L'oreal Glam Shine

I always find that I fall in love with every L'oreal lip gloss I try! My all time favourite has to be their Glam Shine Gloss Brilliance in the shade 102 Always Pink. This gloss claims to last 6 hours, which is quite ambitious, although I think this is one of the only lip glosses I have ever tried which lasts a veeery long time! Even when I eat and drink, the colour and shine stays put! You can find this product in any high street drugstore for just £8.69, or you can find it online here.

2. Bourjois 3D Effet

When it comes to Bourjois, I can never fault any of there products which I own. This 3 dimension lip gloss is exactly what it says- a bold, voluminous and shine elixir gloss. I have the shade 03 Brown Rose which is a dark purple with a pinky brown undertone. This colour is perfect for autumn if you don't want to brave bolder lips in the darker months. You can buy this here for £7.99- so it is one of the cheaper glosses. 

1. Dior Addict Gloss

Finally, I have my favourite lip gloss by Dior. Obviously, most of you will know straight away that Dior products are not cheap, however after months of saving I decided to spoil myself at Duty Free. What I love about these Dior glosses is that they don't consist of just one pure colour, yet a spectrum of glittery tones. The packaging is truely irresistible; a long, crystal clear cuboid with a silver lid engraved with the letters 'CD'. I purchased the shade 653 Rose Surprise which is a very feminine and pretty shade which can be pulled off literally all year round. One coat easily lasts for hours on end and the product as a whole lasts a really long time, which counterbalances the price. You can buy this product here for £22, again not the cheapest lip gloss but definitely worth it if you have a little cash to splash and you're on the hunt for a good quality, high end lip product!
