What can I say, I love a good nude lipgloss. When it comes to lip glosses I prefer nude shades since I think they make your lips look fuller plus they go great with a nude lipsticks.
During the Sephora VIB Sale I picked up two shades that I was eyeing for awhile. The Marc Jacobs Enamored Hi-Shine Gloss Lip Lacquer Lipgloss is one of my favorite formula of lip glosses because of the hi-shine effect. These are the glossiest lip glosses I own and I like them because the coverage is not too opaque but there is enough pigment so you can wear them on their own and they also work great as lipstick toppers.
The shade that I picked up is in Sugar Sugar, a beautiful pinky nude with gold shimmer. The shimmer is not very noticeable on the lips and you also don’t feel it when you rub your lips, it just adds some shine and volume to your lips.
The other lipgloss that I picked up is the Hourglass Extreme Sheen High Shine Lip Gloss in Child, described as a pale pink beige. The formula of these is opaque with high shine and no stickiness. You can pair this lipgloss with a lip liner and it will last you all day and look like you’re wearing a lipstick. It’s also very moisturizing and comfortable to wear.

I love both formulas and will probably get more shades in the future. I prefer my lip glosses glossy and not sticky and both are just that.
