Addicted to Lip Gloss

Have you ever heard the rumor that chapstick and lip balm makers would add ingredients to their product to make them addictive? While I'm sure this is not actually true, women who are faithful users of the stuff apply it more than twice a day. As a reader, you probably want to put some on RIGHT NOW simply because I am talking about it.
Excuse me for a moment as I apply my own..... Ahhh much better!
My addiction started when I was in Junior High. It was so cool to carry around a few flavors of Lip Smackers. After a year or so, chapstick just wasn't cutting it anymore. I turned to tins filled with flavored lip gloss. And now I have at least 20 different lip gloss tubes from Bath & Body, Victoria's Secret, Clinique, and Neutrogena. I keep one at my desk in the office. One is always near me on the couch at home. One is on my night stand for when I go to bed. And about 3 are in my purse at all times. I love it and I need it.
And now, drum roll please, here are my favorites!

For SPF:

Neutrogena MoistureShine Lip Soother SPF 20
I hate having to buy chapstick just so I can get some SPF. I love love love this lip gloss because it already has SPF! Yay! Although this brand has many shades, I tend to just get the closest to my natural lip color. Retail: $6-$7


or

Clinique Long Last Glosswear SPF 15
This one is a little sticky, but I love sticky. I feel like I don't have to apply it as often if it's sticky. My husband HATES sticky though and I'm sure most men would agree. So, if you're dating someone new, I wouldn't suggest wearing this one on your first date. It's supposed to be 8 hour lip gloss, which is probably true for some girls out there- not the ones like me who re-apply every few hours LOL! I also love this lip gloss because it has SPF in it! Non-drying SPF. It's amazing. It is probably my most favorite lip gloss on the market right now. Retail: $15




Around the House:

C.O. Bigelow Vanillamint Supreme from Bath and Body Works
I wear this one when I'm at home, especially before I go to bed. It has mentha which gives a nice cooling feeling. I feel like after a day of wearing glosses with color, glitter, and SPF, this is a nice healing and recovering lip gloss. This would be a great "first date" lip gloss since it claims to be a breath freshener as well LOL! Retail: $8


Plumping:

Liplicious Plump Glass from Bath and Body Works
I'm not really into the plumping lipsticks and glosses, but I found this one at Bath and Body Works and it's not too harsh. I wouldn't suggest using it a lot because it tends to make my lips feel dryer later, if that even makes sense. But it has a nice subtle tingle that's pretty cool! Do I think my lips feel bigger after wearing it? Definitely not. It's just fun =)


Everything in between:

Pretty much any tubed gloss from Victoria's Secret or Bath and Body Works will do the trick. Get the glitter filled kind, or choose one based on color. They are all amazing!






There are only a handful of times I walked out of the house without lip gloss. Those were horrible days. Yes, I would buy lip gloss on the spot if I realized I didn't have any! Going a whole day without lip gloss would be the worst punishment in the world. I am already reaching for lip gloss right now just thinking about it.

Tell my YOUR favorite lip gloss, I'd love to try it!
