Tested and Approved: Lip Glosses

From nourishing your lips to boosting your confidence, Lip Glosses actually have some surprising benefits that go beyond simply adding shine. Made up of moisturizing ingredients like emollients and natural oils, they can help to hydrate and protect your lips, while making your lips look fuller and more youthful.

Practical and fun: it typically contains SPF, which can protect your lips from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Plus! Lip Glosses can be a great way to add a pop of color to your makeup look without having to commit to a lipstick.

After testing many options, I've selected the best that works out fine for my lips and brought the list here to you. Fan or not, Lip Glosses are especially important in the winter months when the air is dry and can sap moisture from your skin, so wearing a thick layer of lip gloss will help to lock in moisture and keep your lips from getting chapped. Come take a look!
