Hourglass Unreal High Shine Volumizing Lip Gloss
Hourglass’ newest lip gloss is a formula that adds long-lasting volume and rich hydration to the lips. Containing ingredients like Volulip™ and hyaluronic acid for a rich texture, and shea butter and avocado oil for hydration, this product is free of unwanted sulfates SLS and SLES as well as parabens and mineral oil. Although it acts as a lip plumper, it doesn’t sting your lips which makes it the right product to apply on top of your lip makeup or bare lips alone. The Unreal Volumizing High Shine Lip Gloss arrives in 18 high-shine shades.
Glossier Lip Gloss
Cult-favorite brand Glossier has recently released new shades of its Lip Gloss. Arriving in a total of three colors – “Clear,” “Red” and “Holographic,” this highly coveted product gives a glassy and high-shine finish, making your lips look fuller. The fuzzy doe-foot applicator picks up just the right amount of the formula, which is known to be smooth without the stickiness. What’s better is that this item is vegan and cruelty-free, made with ingredients like jojoba oil and vitamin E for moisturization.
Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer
Another brand popular among beauty lovers, Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer was created by founder Rihanna because she “wanted girls to get kissed more.” Following its initial purpose, the product adds explosive shine to the lips with shea butter as its main ingredient, and also goes well with all skin tones. Available in three shades, the formula is free of parabens and is cruelty-free.
Marc Jacobs Beauty Enamored Hi-Shine Lip Lacquer Lipgloss
Having a reputation of winning Allure‘s Best of Beauty award twice, this lip gloss contains Triple Shine Complex, which is a mix of high-performance ingredients for maximum plumping effect and shine. With a cushiony texture rather than sticky, this piece has a refreshing mint scent and comes with High Shine and Shimmer finishes. Shades range from creamy pink and shimmery lavender to dreamy colors complete with iridescent glitter. A fun fact about this lip gloss is that the shade names take inspiration from designer Marc Jacobs‘ favorite songs.
Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Plumping Gloss
This lip gloss has become one of the most iconic makeup items by Dior. Not only does it add volume to the lips, but it also provides care and comfort. Containing hyaluronic acid, hydration is guaranteed with this item and can be added as a coat on top of lip lacquer or applied alone.
