So my current favorite lip gloss is actually N.Y.C.'s Liquid Lip Shine in Pink Sands #538 [right picture]. I love it because you can do it sheer and have a nice shine just enhancing your natural lip color [left picture] for example like mine. Or you can build up on it and create a lighter pink nude color [middle picture] like I did. Of course keep in mind as with many products especially lip products it really varies from person to person on how it looks.

I love that you can get this gloss for cheap like $1.00 or less depending on where you are. You can actually get an identical look of the gloss with a couple other of my favorite lip products. Just apply N.Y.C.'s Lipstick in Rose Gold #413 which are the first 3 below [1. Room Light no flash, 2. No Flash, 3. With Flash] it's a nice mauve pink with gold shimmer. Top it with a layer of Lancome's Juicy Tubes Smoothie in Spring Fling [Last Picture] and you come out with a more pigmented but similar result as using the N.Y.C.'s Liquid Lip Shine in Pink Sands listed above.

I also use Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm religiously and always put it as a "base" for all my lip products which I think almost helps make everything glossy :) In case your wondering the N.Y.C. Lipstick was very inexpensive as well maybe at the most i've seen it priced at $3 but again varies from where place to place. As for the Juicy Tubes I believe they run about $18 at Sephora anyways. Well hope you enjoyed my inexpensive favorite lippies at the current moment!
