Best 11 Lip Glosses of 2011

Posted by Claire | Thursday December 29, 2011

Let me tell you: I'm loyal to my mascaras, utterly devoted to my favourite foundation, but a complete sampling fiend when it comes to lip glosses. I know you all are agreeing with me right now...

This article was as much a pleasure to write as it will soon be to personally verify for "Quality Control purposes" at my very next opportunity. We present the Best 11 Lip Glosses of 2011 as voted by our ChickAdvisor members, starting with the runners-up:

Accessibly-priced brands make oversampling a cinch, especially from the likes of:

#1 - C.O. Bigelow Ultra Mentha Lip Shine
#2 - CoverGirl Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers
#3 - Revlon Super Lustrous
#4 - CoverGirl Wetslicks Amazemint
#5 - Lip Smackers Lip Sparkler

With an average shelf life of 2 years (so says RealSimple.com and other sources), a luxe brand lip gloss splurge suddenly makes all kinds of sense. ChickAdvisor members gave high props to:

#1 - Lancôme Juicy Tubes
#2 - MAC Lipglass
#3 - MAC Lustreglass
#4 - Stila Lip Glaze
#5 - Bare Escentuals Buxom Lips

But, as in every contest, we have to recognize a winner. This year, the Best Lip Gloss of 2011 honour goes to...

Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush lip gloss

I saw a great holiday pack version but it was sold out every store I went to :( @ Bren, Bath and Body Works has them usually in the dividers section with their lip glosses. http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4004127

A beautiful soft peachy orange colour that's very brightening and flattering. It's not a "gloss" but it's glossy. It has a very decent glossy finish without the sticky mess and hair smears that accompanies a gloss. It says "tint" but it really means "moisture rich natural-yet-pigmented-looking colour". Can you tell how much I love it? If it was a guy i'd marry it, lol! It's so smooth and moisturizing, and makes my lips feel and LOOK so soft. I actually went to the bathroom a few more times than necessary yesterday just to check out my makeup (mostly the lips and that's what really made a difference!!). Girls, I wouldn't be a good chickfriend if I didn't tell you about this: go and get it right away! go run, before they all sell out!! I'm going to go pick up some more today... man..love, like L-O-V-E love these!
