Butter Gloss

I love these and have several shades, Tiramisu, Strawberry Cheesecake, Angel Food Cake, and maybe another. They maybe my favorite gloss. Great over matte lipsticks. I often use to freshen a matte lipstick. Have been using for years and will probably try a few more shades!

Pros: wide shade variety, buttery feel, pleasant vanilla scent (could be a con if you are sensitive to smells), shiny, large amount of product per price (0.27oz/$5), frequently on sale

Cons: streaky color application, streaks with normal lip movement, can look globby because of streaking.


At one time, these were my favorite glosses and I owned probably close to 20 in …Read more

These are super pigmented glosses! Lovely shiney, glossy finish. Very affordable and a lovely range of shades. I did find that these tend to wear off more quickly than most glosses, so you do have to reapply often. But I don't mind this as glosses are pretty easy to reapply without the need for a mirror and also the colour pay off on these is really good.

Nice gloss nothing really negative to say about it only that it might be too perfumed and sticky for some people. I owned color Madeleine, classic beigy nude works with all makups and outfits, looks great alone and on top of the other lipstick.
Pros: nice choice of colors, reasonably priced, compact size (personally hate huge glosses), good wear for a gloss, doesn't dry the lips, smooth …Read more

I wish I understood why these glosses are so popular. I have a beige-y type color & a rosy pink (I can’t find either right now not sure of the shade names)- both are fine but not anything special.

Pros: glossy but not crazy hyper shiny; I like the finish.
Moisturizing

Cons: no staying power- not unusual for a gloss but these seem to wear even faster than average …

These are my favorite glosses. I have several in purses & my make-up bags. They go on so smooth. Just the right color payoff. They don't dry my lips out. The price is excellent. They come in so many shades. Angel Food Cake is my fave. Have bought several tubes of it. I wear these alone or over a matte lip color. They wear well. The packaging makes them very portable. No downside to these …Read more

I feel like this gloss is playing mind games with me. It wants me to believe that it is buttery and heavenly feeling, but nope. It is a hair magnet. It doesn't feel comfortable when wearing it, wears off quickly and leaves lips feeling dry. Also, the gloss eats away at the applicator for some reason. After a few uses, the fuzz from the doefoot disappears to god knows where. Finally, the …Read more

These have excellent texture and wearability, and are available in myriad shades. I use Madeleine ("Mid-Tone Nude"), Ginger Snap ("Chocolate Brown"), and Praline ("Deep Nude") over lip liners or lip tints.

The scent is sort of a faux-pastry flavor, which, while inoffensive, is totally unnecessary. Though at least it's not a wretched, juvenile …Read more

With a name like “butter gloss” I expected this to be buttery. Unfortunately it’s not buttery at all. It’s just another shiny (like really shiny) lip gloss. Wearing it on its own - totally hate it. When I wear NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream underneath - I absolutely love it! It’s like the perfect finish for hydrating the lips in dry winter weather. I’m a matte liquid lipstick lover. But this winter my …Read more

I have this in three shades: Devil’s Food Cake (which reads as vampy and dark in the tube but applies as a sheer medium berry); Raspberry Tart (a sheer violet with pink tones); and my fav, Cranberry Biscotti - the most gorgeous cranberry/cool berry red, which leaves a lovely deep stain. The smell is mild and somewhat sweet, and the formula is slightly tacky, but neither the smell or the feel are …Read more
