Hi pretties! 💕
If there’s one beauty product that never lets me down, it’s lipgloss. It’s easy, fuss-free, and adds polish without feeling heavy. I always reach for a gloss when I’m filming content. It gives me shine, comfort and confidence when I’m travelling or just out for coffee.
Over the years, I’ve collected some standout glosses that check all my boxes (hydrating, comfortable, easy to apply on-the-go). Here are my top picks — the ones I reach for again and again.
My Favourite Glosses & Why I Love Them
Gisou Lip Oil
This is more oil than traditional gloss, and I love that. Infused with honey and botanical oils, it locks in moisture and leaves my lips soft and shiny—minus the sticky feeling.
Why I love it: Nourishing, glossy and wearable every day.
Dior Lip Glow Oil
Another hybrid of oil + gloss. It gives that subtle shine I want without glitter, and glides on beautifully.
Why I love it: Gloss finish with a luxe feel, still low-maintenance.
Dior Dior Addict Lip Maximizer
A plumping gloss that doesn’t sting, which is huge for me because I avoid that minty burn. It feels comfortable and gives a fuller-lip effect.
Why I love it: Glam without the discomfort.
Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Lip Bath Gloss
With marine collagen, this gloss gives a cushiony texture, plus the heart-shaped applicator is such a cute detail.
Why I love it: Cute packaging + soft glossy finish = dreamy.
Charlotte Tilbury Lip Lustre Lip Gloss
A lacquer-style gloss that adds full shine and dimension without being sticky, and no harsh plumping tingles.
Why I love it: Sophisticated gloss that feels elevated but still easy.
Charlotte Tilbury Big Lip Plumpgasm Plumping Lip Gloss
High-shine, zero chunky glitter, and Plumpgasm’s “heat and ice” tech gives visible volume without going overboard.
Why I love it: Shine + volume, balanced beautifully.
Tower 28 Shine On Jelly Lip Gloss
A newer favorite — this gloss + lip oil hybrid gives shine without drying out my lips, perfect for everyday.
Why I love it: Glossy finish made comfy for daily wear.
Rare Beauty Soft PinchTinted Lip Oil Stain
Created by Selena Gomez, designed with accessibility in mind (not just packaging—small detail but meaningful). The finish is a soft gloss, very wearable.
Why I love it: Thoughtful design + subtle shine = win.
Chanel Rouge Coco Gloss Moisturizing Glossimer
A classic. The packaging, the shine, the option to use as a lip topper or solo gloss.
Why I love it: Elegance meets function.
Fenty Glossbomb
My everyday gloss. Big doe-foot applicator, quick application, no mirror needed. Ideal for on-the-go.
Why I love it: Effortless glamour in one swipe.
Mac Lipglass
A throwback that still holds up. Glass-like shine, multiple shades, glossy lips done right.
Why I love it: Nostalgic gloss with modern wearability.
Kiko 3D Hydra Lipgloss
Flat packaging, unique applicator, smooth finish. Something a little different but still gloss-perfect.
Why I love it: Innovative design + everyday gloss formula.
Maybelline Lifter Gloss
A budget-friendly dupe for Fenty Glossbomb. Similar feel, slightly different finish, same comfort.
Why I love it: Great value, great feel.
How I Use My Glosses
- For travel or content days: Choose a gloss you can apply quickly and confidently (no mirror required).
- For everyday wear: I often choose a gloss that doubles as lip care. It could be oil hybrids or tinted balms. This way, my lips stay comfortable all day.
- For layering: You can use a plumper gloss over a matte lip. Alternatively, try a sheer gloss over bare lips. I love both looks depending on my mood.
Final Thoughts
Gloss isn’t just a finishing touch—it’s one of the easiest ways to feel more put-together in minutes. The right gloss gives shine, comfort and confidence without needing constant upkeep.
If you haven’t found your perfect gloss yet, try one of the formulas above. See how it makes you feel. Because beauty should always make you feel like the best version of yourself.
