5 Best Affordable Drugstore Lip Glosses

Hello Reader,

Fashion is just like a husband....always picking up old habits 😜😜😜😜😜😜

Lip glosses are now back in trend and how. There was a rage for matte lipsticks/transfer proof lipsticks for past couple of years . And now every brand we know of is coming up with their lip topper / gloss/ plumping gloss.

It  started all in  80' when in films actresses used to wear bright glossy lipsticks which mimicked fuller lips.

And years later just like that we are obsessing over glossy lipsticks /glosses.

Here are few of my picks in the pocket friendly category.

LΓ³real Infallible Lip Gloss

This has to be my first pick as its the most amazing formula with such a reasonable price.( not sure the revised price)the packaging is simple and clean and looks quite chic . All the shades have black cap with sheer tube so you see the product.

According to me its USP is its unique wand which makes it stand out from the league.








What i absolutely love about this is the fact that its product quality is so amazing and gives a very high end finish and a lot of thought process has gone into the deigning and determining the color range too.

Loved the little details like the clear bottle with a black cap which gives it a very clean and classy look.

As i have mentioned earlier the wand is the USP according to me.

It has been designed to sit on your lips comfortably and gives a even distribution of pigment.

I honestly don't even use  a mirror while applying this lip gloss.

The wand is indeed a clever design.








This shade 505 "never let me go"is so amazing on its own and definitely works well as topper too and according to me is a very close dupe of "Jouer Cosmetics Maui"

It has very fine glitter particles very fine doesn't feel gritty but gives ultra shine. The gloss itself is a bit on a oily side not tacky at all.



                                               (LΓ³real Infallible Lip Gloss on its own on bare skin)

RRP:- $19.22

Street wear Lip Gloss is another one which is super amazing , extremely inexpensive and super high quality.
If I am not wrong Street Wear Cosmetics is owned by Revlon India and its specific to Indian Market.

Beautiful finish and luster , non sticky , quite strong pigments.


                                     


The finish of the gloss is quite decent for the price point of view. In the pic here i have applied it on bare lips to just give you an idea of how intense it is. It would be great as topper too.

Love it !!!!!!


The shade i am wearing here is "Party Melon- 6". It has a mild scent to it does go off after a while, but initially it will be there. So if you are someone who doesn't like perfumes in the lip product then you might have to think.

As i mentioned its only meant for Indian market but if you ever get a hold on it once try it.

RRP:- 170 i.e USD2.47

Rimmel Prococalips another budget friendly for glossy lips.


This is just an all rounder and works perfect for your on the go solutions.

It has a beautiful double ended liquid lipstick with liquid pigment with matte effect on one side and gloss on the other end.

There are beautiful shades ranges from Nudes to Bright ones too.




The applicator is decent nothing fancy about it. Proper distribution of the color and as its a liquid matte you still get lot of time to work with it. It doesn't dry down quick.

The other end has the gloss , both the applicator are similar / same.

One shown in the above pic is the is the old packaging.

RRP 18.95 (not so affordable , but can wait for sale time. I did the same 😜😜)

L'oreal Color Riche Gloss

 I am really not sure if this one is still in the shelves or if L'oreal have discontinued them.


Shade Number 500 (Molto Mauve)




But i got this more than 6 months back at  Priceline clearance sale. I have tried their matte range too , back at home India and they are absolutely gorgeous. And this gloss stole my heart.

When i bought this one its was spring last year and it didn't suite my skin tone ,,,but the color is so beautiful that i had to take it. This winter i have started trying the glosses out and this one has been one i am reaching out the most lately.

Beautiful texture very  balm like but not tacky at all. The wand is very generic, distributes the gloss well....

But the finish is to die for. In the below picture i have applied the gloss on my bare lips.

                                                    




Its a beautiful nude mauve for Brown/Olive/Dusky skin tone. I am loving it on me, give the lips more plumper look. I am going to look for more brighter color if possible

RRP:- USD 14 (as per internet search).

And have saved the Best and Economical one for Last.

Its the new Essence Plumping Lip Gloss



The shade i got is more nude and is such a beautiful  everyday gloss its surprising its marked price is so so minimal.

                           shade name:- 07 So Heavy


It does what it is advertised as "Plumping Lip Gloss".  its does gives a tingling feeling once you apply on lips. And few minutes into it you will feel the sensation and probably a minute or two later you can see the plumping effect.

You might  need to re- apply depending on what you are aiming for.

Definitely doesn't gives a BOTOX effect but is decent enough for the price.

The texture is not tacky but feels like a balm. Does stay on lips for decent amount of time without any touch ups.

I am super impressed by it, also in the picture above wearing the gloss on its own to show you the actual color. The  color i picked is the darkest in the whole range. It may be looking like a clear gloss because of my skin tone , but might look mauvey on more lighter skin .


So there you have my best 5 drugstore lip glosses which are just so amazing and is easy on pocket too.
