MAC LipGeleeThis non-sticky sister of the beloved Lipglass feels more like a soothing, lip-softening treatment than a basic gloss. Each of the 21 high-shine shades go on very sheer with just a tint of juicy color. On a sad note, the gloss doesn't stay on -- prepare to reapply constantly. And it's similar in texture to a product from Co...More $14.00See more MAC products |

Aveda Lip ShineLooks like Lancôme Juicy Tube; feels like Vaseline Lip Therapy with a mild, peppermint tingle. Environmental advocates will want to hug the recycled, egg carton-like package that houses each tube of super-shiny goo. Certified organic/organically grown ingredients hydrate and soothe, but not every ingredient fits t...More $13.50See more Aveda products |

Global Goddess Moroccan Mystique Lip VeilsI'm addicted to gloss but also have to wear SPF on my lips, so I'm always thrilled when a lip gloss contains SPF. Unfortunately, only one of these six neutral shades, Desert Jewel, contains it, which is odd. Also, that shade goes on clear despite looking bright pink in the tube -- a bit disappointing if you're expecting a ...More |

Bare Escentuals Buxom Big & Healthy Lip PolishMost plumping lip glosses don't truly enlarge lips. If they did, celebs wouldn't flock to plastic surgeons for filler injections. This stick-free, ultra-shiny gloss does give a cooling effect that makes you feel like something's happening (it does contain a ceramide that helps boost natural collagen production), but it's no...More |

Philosophy The Supernatural Lip GlossThis thick, slightly sticky gloss has enough pigment and shine to replace lipstick when you want some (but not a ton of) color. The brush applicator is easy to use, but after a few days in my purse (which, granted, is an inhospitable environment), the tube leaked a little. One application lasts a few hours but doesn't hold ...More |

Bonne Bell Vita Gloss 2 0Those who've grown out of Lip Smackers but still want yummy scents may like Bonne Bell VitaGloss2O. The six strong fruity flavors are reminiscent of Hi-C, but the shine and is decidedly grown up and the vitamin-enriched formula starts off as a treat for dry lips. The only (major) downside is that the effects don't last long...More |

LORAC Lip PolishThis vanilla-minty moisturizing lip gloss has lovers -- and haters. Some say it's sticky, icky texture is too much; others rave about its high-shine glossing power. The major gripe is the nail polish-style bottle. Sure, it's clever, but it's not remotely practical. The brush gives you no control over application and makes i...More $17.50See more LORAC products |

Clarins Gloss AppealClarins Gloss Appeal offers high shine, a sheer, pretty wash of color (in 10 different shades) and a spatula-like sponge that makes for easier application -- a good thing, because it only lasts about five minutes, making multiple applications essential. The shimmer is subtle but you can still feel some glitter grains on lip...More |

Lancome Juicy Tubes Jelly Ultra Shiny Lip GlossI too grabbed these super-shiny glosses off the shelves when they first came out, but I could never seem to finish a tube. The angled applicators make application easy, but glittery shades can feel gritty and every shade is semi-sticky. Even deceptively bright candy colors wear unexpectedly sheer. The biggest bummer is the ...More |

Rimmel London Light Beam LipglossWhip this gadget out in a crowd and someone's bound to yell, "What's that?! I want one!" We'll give props for the clever design (there's a blinding, push-button LED light in the wand and a mirror on one side of the bottle), but does applying gloss really necessitate this kind of engineering? Lipstick and colored g...More |
