Hi Darlings, in today’s post we are going to talk about the Best Lipsticks & Lipglosses You NEED In Your LIFE.
As you can see this post is going to be a bit different, it includes 10 products instead of 5 because I’m a lip products junkie, I love them and it’s my favourite thing to buy so it was impossible for me to reduce this list to only 5.
There are options in every price range, every finish and every colour. Of course you know I love beige shades so I’ve decided to recommend lipsticks and lipglosses that I have multiple shades of without focusing on a specific one because if the formula is good, it’s good in most shades.
There is only one finish that is missing which is REGULAR CREAMY LIPSTICKS. I don’t like those, I either go for mattes, sheer or glosses. I feel like creamy lipsticks are a middle ground that’s not as hydrating as a sheer lipstick, not as long lasting as a matt and not as shiny as a gloss so they aren’t for me.
Now that we have cleared the air let me tell you which are the best lipsticks & lipglosses you need in your life.
Lipglosses
Let’s start with glosses. Do we like the same glosses? My ideal lipgloss is:
- Shimmery
If I go for a regular gloss I like super shimmery ones.
- Plumping
I love the tingly feeling of plumping glosses, so if I choose a non glittery one, I like plumping ones.
- Hydrating
I love when glosses hydrate my lips.
- Stickiness
I don’t mind sticky glosses so there’s a chance that some of these will be.
- Scented
I love sweet vanilla glosses.

Lipstick
Now, as I said earlier, I don’t like cream lipsticks, I like sheer-glossy ones, that being said, if I have to choose a creamy lipstick I love MAC Cosmetics. I like their Cremesheen, their Satin, their Mattes and even the Love Me formula. Basically, you can’t go wrong with a MAC Lipstick.
My ideal lipstick is:
- Shiny
I like sheer, shiny colours
- Hydrating
I love that balmy feeling.
- Scented
I love sweet vanilla lipstick.

Liquid Lipstick
The last category is liquid lipsticks which I choose for only two reasons: I need something long lasting because I can’t retouch it for a while or I’m using a darker colour so I don’t want it to smudge.
My ideal liquid lipstick is:
- Thin Formula
I hate liquid lipsticks that feel too moussy or too thick. I like thin formulas you can’t feel on (ABH, Kylie Cosmetics, Huda Beauty, NYX they are not for me)
- Not Drying
I don’t want dry-lined lips so the product I use needs to keep my lips plumped and hydrated.
- No Transfer
If I choose a long lasting product I don’t want to find it smeared on glasses or all over my face. It needs to stay on.

Love this post and how you broke everything down! The Fenty Gloss Bomb has been on my list for 500 years, and so has the NYX Butter Gloss! You’re right, there’s nothing like a MAC lipstick, it’s just so classic. I used to have Syrup too and it was one of my faves.
Syrup is such a good one I’ve completely finished it 😂 Gloss Bomb is such a must!
Dior lip gloss is one of my favs! I love fenty products so I want to try that soon!
The best!
I love this! You really went into detail about all of the lipsticks and lip glosses. I’m sure this post will help a lot of people to decide on the best option 🙂
Thank you 💕
Love these colors like the pale nudes and pinks.
So pretty right?!
Which lasts longer, stick or gloss? That’s always the game changer for me.
Stick!
This is so good to know! I love MAC lipsticks. Now only if they could make them mask-proof….
Hahahaha agree!
You always rock a juicy, fresh lip! Thus, I’m excited to see all of these recommendations. The Stunna Lip Paint is always intriguing to me, probably with the applicator and fancy package.

The applicator need a bit of practice but it’s very nice! The formula is good too
