Chanel Levres Scintillantes GlossimerThis worth-the-splurge gloss gives a high-shine finish without the bug-catching stickiness of MAC Lipglass. But somehow, it's not so slippery that you'll lick it right off. (This has medium-level staying power.) Color chameleons will love the 35-plus shades. My go-to hue is Spark, a golden-flecked, sheer red that flatters m...More |

Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing GlossThis antioxidant-infused gloss combines the moisturizing power of your favorite lip balm with the shine (not shimmer or glitter) of your favorite gloss -- and it comes in eight sheer hues. Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss battles flaky, dry lips and leaves them pillow-y soft and plump (though it's not a plumper). You'l...More |

Sally Hansen Diamond Lip TreatmentThe word "treatment" makes this sound like medicine, and it sort of is; the aloe and shea butter formula work really well to soften dry lips and keep them protected. But Sally Hansen Diamond Lip Treatment is also a great gloss. Pretty, sheer colors, dessert-like scents and cute packaging (with a "diamond" set on each tube) ...More |

MAC Clear LipglassWet, mirrored shine is the trademark of this colorless high gloss, with a long wear similar to Lancome Juicy Tubes (only this one's flavorless). Long hair will stick like flypaper on a windy day, but our lips stayed soft and shiny for hours. Also wears well over lip liner or color, but use a brush or risk funking up the rou...More |

Benefit Her GlossinessThis very shiny, sheer gloss feels great on your lips. That's due to jojoba oil in the formula -- it feels moisturizing and actually hydrates lips. The sponge-tip applicator dispenses a perfect amount of gloss, and the tube never gets messy or slimy in your bag. The product itself is not sticky, so don't expect a long wear,...More |

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Lip Tint SPF 15These sheer lip tints are incredibly moisturizing (thanks to jojoba and avocado oils), boast an SPF of 15 and have a delicious peppermint scent. Whether you choose to wear alone or over lipstick, they provide a lot of shine and feel smooth on the lips (warning: may result in obsessive licking). Longer lasting and more shim...More |

mark Shine Tubes Hook Up Lip GlossIf you long to have fewer loose items in your purse, try Mark Shine Tubes Hook Up Gloss, which can be "hooked up" via connector to various other Mark products (like a mini mascara) to make a customized, one-stop wand for touch-ups. Squeezed from a tube, the gloss can be a tad runny, but it feels great on, tastes delicious (...More |

Flirt! Tint-A-Licious Lip SheerFinding the right color of this Kohl's-exclusive brand may be a challenge, as there are less than 10 shades available. The sheer finish really does look "kissable" -- as if you've already kissed a bold lipstick away. The color lacks a strong taste, applies like a lipstick and wears like a semi-glossy stain. SPF 15...More |

Nars Lip Lacquer"Luscious lips day or night" accurately describes what this super-shiny gloss delivers. Dark colors, when blotted, can double as a low- or no-shine stain. Rich, concentrated shades ranging from sparkly Galactica to vampish Bewitched are so beautiful, you may cry when you reach the bottom of the pot. But I did find...More |
