Shu Uemura Gloss Unlimited, $22

TotalBeauty.com Rating: 8
Why it's great: "With 15 shades of Shu Uemura Gloss Unlimited, there's something for everyone. And since the formula coats lips and adds moisture, high shine and shimmer without making lips look tacky, it's even more lovable. Some might be turned off by the high price and the awkward feeling of the oddly solid wand applicator. Others may dislike the floral scent (though it's very light) and the large tube (though it makes for a good value). But the gorgeous, sheer colors alone are enough to make this a staple in my purse." -- Sarah, Assistant Editor

There are some great glosses that are missing, but I agree with your choices!

Missing some great ones

This site should really check out Eve Pearl products they are amazing and they're Lip Glosses are a favorite of mine. I am also surprised NYX did not make the list as I have always like them

by Alana_Danes Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 05:32AM Report as inappropriate

They all look very nice.

by EricaF123 Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 05:15PM Report as inappropriate

These are a lot of high prices glosses. And many I've never heard of. I wouldn't mind checking some out, but not for some of the prices.

Love this slideshow!

I'm really not a lipgloss person, but these seem good.

by amber.flute Monday, January 14, 2013 at 03:44PM Report as inappropriate

i love victoria secret make up esp their lipglosses. sometimes they have really simmery ugly stuff but for the most part their products are amazing and quality!

by rayshaviolet Sunday, January 6, 2013 at 11:29AM Report as inappropriate

I'm a lipgloss junkie! I will probably try some of these.

by dancerbygrace Friday, December 28, 2012 at 09:47AM Report as inappropriate

I want so many of these! I can't help it. I'm a sucker for lip products.

by NillaButterfly Saturday, December 22, 2012 at 07:38PM Report as inappropriate

I'm definitely going to try these - it's so hard to find a good lip gloss!

by schien Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 03:25PM Report as inappropriate

I like Flirt cosmetics and because they're so well priced will consider trying their lip gloss. Keep it up Kohl's!

by Lamexicana1 Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 07:01PM Report as inappropriate

The Nars lipgloss looks nice! I want to try it now!!

by Ladybugg9 Friday, November 9, 2012 at 10:52PM Report as inappropriate

I wanna try every last one of these

excited to try some of these

by kimihavens Wednesday, October 31, 2012 at 09:14AM Report as inappropriate

Don't like MAC sheer lip gloss. It makes my lips look like i ate a big burger and forget to clean my mouth.

by lilas Tuesday, October 30, 2012 at 10:52PM Report as inappropriate

I really want to try the Sally Hansen Diamond Lip Treatment.

by BReal Monday, October 29, 2012 at 07:39AM Report as inappropriate

mac's lip gloss always seem to stick to my hair..really annoying

by springsblue Wednesday, October 17, 2012 at 08:54AM Report as inappropriate

MAC's clear lip gloss was far too sticky for me.

by Chris213 Sunday, October 7, 2012 at 07:20AM Report as inappropriate

I know it was lip gloss but I was hoping for a few less sticky options

by modinosaur Monday, September 10, 2012 at 10:16PM Report as inappropriate

Ooh I think I might need to try a few of these!

by GingerDrink Thursday, July 26, 2012 at 02:24PM Report as inappropriate

Nice! Defintely gonna buy some of these!

by MissAmy00 Wednesday, July 25, 2012 at 12:53PM Report as inappropriate

Great info, and I love the details (hair doesn't stick, tube gets messy in your purse, etc.)!

by LAGlamRGrl Wednesday, June 13, 2012 at 01:52AM Report as inappropriate

Nice Gloss, moisturizers and hydrates. Not a sticky gloss, but, does not wear long either.

Never tried any of these, but I would love to try them!

by yestfl Wednesday, April 18, 2012 at 10:08PM Report as inappropriate

I need a new lipgloss to try - maybe I will go for one of these! You can't go wrong with MAC

by glamgirlseven Friday, April 6, 2012 at 07:54PM Report as inappropriate

Have yet to try any of these either.

by MissXu Sunday, April 1, 2012 at 08:02PM Report as inappropriate

Chanel Glossimer has got to be my favorite lipgloss formula of all time. The color is enough to where to you don't need lipstick and it's not sticky at all!

by jackie_hines Sunday, April 1, 2012 at 07:33PM Report as inappropriate

Hate sticky lip gloss. i wouldn't even put it on the list if sticky

by Nicole1021 Friday, March 23, 2012 at 06:37PM Report as inappropriate

Nothing gets me like a lipgloss list! Some of these I've used (and loved) and some I've always wanted to try. Need to hit up Sephora soon!

by tallredamanda Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 07:51AM Report as inappropriate

When I apply Artistry Light-up Lip Gloss to my lips they feel luscious, like they've been drenched in conditioner. WOW! No chapped lips this winter since I've been using this product. The ingenious light and mirror combination is a double winner. Can't tell you how many times these features have come in handy when touching up my lips on the run.

by tlcfran Wednesday, March 21, 2012 at 12:46AM Report as inappropriate

love chanel lip gloss

by eatinglipstick Thursday, March 15, 2012 at 12:00PM Report as inappropriate

If you had tried the Artistry Light-Up Lip Gloss, you would have given it a 10!! It is luscious, yummy, not sticky, comes in 5 wonderfully beautiful shades, and, it has a light in the wand and a mirror on the side so you can touch up even in the dark!! It gets a 10 out of 10 everytime!!

by imageinn Friday, March 9, 2012 at 02:42PM Report as inappropriate

I love artistry light up lip gloss.... love the colors love the convenice of the mirror and light so i can put on anywhere i am...

I agree - PLEASE start putting dates on the articles and update the "best of's" more often.

I love lip gloss...wish this was updated

by glamgirlseven Thursday, March 1, 2012 at 11:12PM Report as inappropriate

This list definitely needs to be updated because many of these are discontinued!!!

by volta Wednesday, February 29, 2012 at 10:28PM Report as inappropriate

I have the clinique one and it's pretty amazing. I also love Victoria's Secret lip glosses. They are just awesome.

by yestfl Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at 11:29AM Report as inappropriate

never heard of most of them but okayy

by Nicole2814 Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 02:49PM Report as inappropriate

Good round-up, but too bad these weren't in order of rating. Harder to find the highest-rated one!

by Jewelrydesigner Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 07:51AM Report as inappropriate

Nars should be on the list--it has great staying power for a gloss!

by tallredamanda Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 07:46AM Report as inappropriate

I'm surprised LaCoste isn't on here.

by sportimonki13 Wednesday, January 4, 2012 at 05:53PM Report as inappropriate

Chanel is my favorite out of all of these!

by sweettpea29 Monday, January 2, 2012 at 07:07PM Report as inappropriate

Never heard of most of these.

by MissXu Saturday, December 24, 2011 at 10:18PM Report as inappropriate

Never really liked the look of lip gloss on me. I'm more of a lip balm type of girl. But some of these are actually really pretty!! :-)

by zeekismine Saturday, December 10, 2011 at 05:01PM Report as inappropriate

I like Kiehl's. Smell fruity, but, not overwhelming. I have sensitive skin. Highly recommend!

by diamondsmiles Thursday, October 20, 2011 at 10:11PM Report as inappropriate

VS lip gloss are good!

by shell1375 Wednesday, October 19, 2011 at 01:21PM Report as inappropriate

idk but ive never been a fan of lip gloss... looks pretty but i just dont like how it feels :\ i guess im just weird xD

by anna_davis Saturday, October 8, 2011 at 10:31AM Report as inappropriate

this stuff is amazing. gives me a high shine, and for MAC, the price isn't too bad

by ayegee Wednesday, September 21, 2011 at 07:32PM Report as inappropriate

Many of these aren't even sold anymore?

by volta Thursday, July 21, 2011 at 09:10PM Report as inappropriate

i love lipgloss

by aguifra14 Wednesday, June 29, 2011 at 04:13PM Report as inappropriate

I love VS lipgloss!

by LancomeLover223 Thursday, May 5, 2011 at 02:42PM Report as inappropriate

Superbalm is good, but not a lot of pigmentation and no added scent (so it smells a bit plasticky).

by LipglossandSpandex Wednesday, May 4, 2011 at 09:45PM Report as inappropriate

this list needs to be updated!

by kenya Monday, April 11, 2011 at 08:37AM Report as inappropriate

omg, love these!

by yckitsmary Friday, April 8, 2011 at 06:32PM Report as inappropriate

I love the Clinique Superbalm. I first got it in Black Honey, because, well it is my beloved Black Honey in gloss form, and now it is my go to lip gloss. I want it in all shades, LOL.

Mysterylady, try MARK lip glosses they are inexpensive and work well

by Markgirlfranky Tuesday, March 8, 2011 at 03:48AM Report as inappropriate

Love lip gloss but I wish there were more inexpensive ones.

by Mysterylady Monday, March 7, 2011 at 06:58PM Report as inappropriate

to be honest i actually never wear lipgloss depsite the fact i wear full make up most of the time. I just hate the felling of having something on my lips!! weird hu?

by judyangel101 Friday, February 25, 2011 at 02:51PM Report as inappropriate

Dior Lip Addict should have made this list!

by Bon_Bon Sunday, February 20, 2011 at 06:18PM Report as inappropriate

I use all mark. lip glosses!

by kayla_d_moore Thursday, February 10, 2011 at 05:45AM Report as inappropriate

I LOVE ALL LIP GLOSS! I am dying to try the Nars one! The pot looks so pretty

by pynkNymphette Tuesday, January 11, 2011 at 03:30PM Report as inappropriate

Other than the Sally Diamond Shine brand, why not list more department store UNDER $10.00 ones? Some of us are on tight budgets with the current economic climate!

by dawnrager Thursday, January 6, 2011 at 12:45PM Report as inappropriate

i have a hard time with gloss caking up on me. i never wear gloss. i wish this issue was addressed in the article.

by kenya Saturday, December 4, 2010 at 07:53PM Report as inappropriate

What about the glow baby glow glosses from Mark? Pink crush is my fav.
