I know it got a bad review and a lot of people didn’t like it, but I love MUFE 502P Beetle gloss. I never wear it alone though I always layer it over black, blue, or red lipstick/pencil.
It’s a cool shade 🙂
I’m with you, Alice. I love, Beetle, too. It’s so unique. I do like it by itself, and it’s gorgeous over all the shades you mentioned.
I’m not a lipgloss person at all, really. The only ones I ever seem to wear are the Lancôme Lip Lovers because they’re so smooth and not sticky. They feel nice on, a bit like a lip balm. I couldn’t tell you the last time I wore another lipgloss. ?
How pigmented are the Lip Lovers, Gillian?
They are reasonably pigmented but not overly so. I just really like them and would recommend them to anyone looking for a good, non-sticky, mildly hydrating lipgloss. There are some lovely colours too! ?
Thank you!
These Best Of are so much fun to read. Only have a couple here. Love the Armani Ecstasy formula (although not thrilled about the chemicals that are probably in them) and the MAC Vamplify is really beautiful as are the colors chosen. The Urban D glosses are nice, too.
Vamplify was a fun formula 😀
The Anastasia Beverly Hills lip glosses are definitely my new favorites – LOVE!
Me too!!
Vice was/is beautiful. I really liked the Revlon HD glosses for low end. Were the new NARS glosses this year or last? The few I swatched I liked.
Revlon HD Gloss is a good line! I believe the reformulation was in 2014 🙂
So many pretties. I still don’t own any of the UD glosses. I’m not sure how that happened. I don’t buy a lot of high-end lip glosses.
My favorites of what I got this year: MUFE Beetle, MAC Viva Glam Liglass in Miley Cyrus and Miley Cyrus II, OCC Stained Gloss in Little Black Dress.
Glad you picked up the Viva Glams 😀
Chanel’s Rose de Lune from the Vamp collection at Holiday was one of my faves along with all of Mac’s Vamplify!
Rose de Lune has gorgeous shimmer!
Yes it does! I like it alot because it hydrates really well too. To bad it’s not permanent!
I really liked the MAC Vamplify lip gloss. Wish the were permanent.
Me too!
I’m seriously hoping MAC makes the Vamplify formula permanent in 2016—they’re the best gloss, hands down! So pigmented, hydrating and comfortable! 😀
Fingers crossed!
So do I, Modernaires!!! Best MAC gloss ever!
I cannot believe I did not see one Le Metier de Beaute gloss or Guerlain gloss on your list! The quality and texture of these non-sticky high-end glosses are sublime! I would not know how to choose just one! The Plexi glosses by MUFE were a huge fail for me. In consistent coverage from tube to tube, weird applicator most had zero color.
I don’t think I tested gloss from Le Metier de Beaute this year, and Guerlain only came out with a handful that I can recall in 2015. This isn’t a best of for all-time, just based on what I personally tested and tried in 2015.
My go-to faves this year:
1) YSL Volupte Teint in Oil
2) Chanel lip gloss in Glaze
3) Maybelline Baby Lips Gloss
What are your favorite shades of the Teint in Oil?
…I don’t think I tried a high-end lipgloss in 2015. Finally admitted to myself I barely wear lipgloss, only bought a couple of obvious topper shades from the drugstore.
Good idea! That is a great way to save some money 🙂
Woohoo for Domestic Diva!!! (That orange one with the Wash & Dry collection too!)
Also those gorgeous Vamplifys, of which I sadly overlooked Hyper-fabulous at the time. However, isn’t #400 Four Hundred still available? That one is my cup of tea!
#400 is permanent!
Oh, thank goodness! Ya’ know me and my reds! And I still have a ton of Nyx Apple Crisp left, too! LoL!
Christine I love Nars Killer Shine lipgloss in Fast Life!Its really beautiful!!I also really like Tom Ford Love Bruise,I don’t know if it was a repromote for Fall 2015 TF collection.
Fast Life has such a beautiful shimmer to it!
I’m not generally a big fan of lipgloss but the one I really like and always have liked is Clarins Gloss Prodige. It’s not new though they do release new colours (though what’s worse is that they discontinue some favourites). I love this gloss (I wear Raspberry and Grenadine, the latter of which I think you reviewed, Christine) and will often wear it in lieu of lipstick.
Clarins has such an edited range, which is good for anyone new to the brand but a bummer when they discontinue your favorites!
I wanted the vamplify glosses in tuned in and hyper fabulous so bad this year and those colors sold out before I could grab em! I wish I’d jumped on it faster.. Tuned in is soooo gorgeous!
I wish MAC would make those permanent!
