Matte is so out. Glossy shine is in. I love a lip color that produces pure color and a lot of shine. I am not keen of dry lipsticks that just make your lips look cracked and crusty. Perhaps this is because I have extremely dry lips. Either way, lip gloss is one of my mandatory beauty essentials along with fragrance and eyeliner. Read below for my list of 4 lip glosses you gotta try! Stock up on these in your favorite colors and you may find yourself saying au revoir to your boring matte lipsticks.
