Tower 28 ShineOn Lip Jelly, CHILL | Non-Sticky, Vegan Lip Gloss in Clear | Moisturizing Apricot and Raspberry Seed Oil | Clean, Cruelty Free

If you’re here, you’re lucky because I am a lip gloss fanatic and I have tried so many oils to help you decipher some of the best formulas. Of the affordable lip oils, these are my favorites to use (from least to most):Nyx Fat Lip Oil (polar peppermint): Not terribly sticky, but I don’t love to reapply this one for some reason. The formula just isn’t my favorite. It offers a tingly sensation on the lips, but doesn’t give me that minty fresh feeling when I inhale like I’ve experienced with other peppermint lip balms — the mint just kind of “sits” there and tingles on the lips if that makes sense.. I guess it’s better than the C.O. Bungalow peppermint gloss because it doesn’t leave this white residue the way that that one does when reapplying. But I don’t notice any plumping and I don’t love the sheer blue pigment, so it’s on the bottom of my faves. I’d still be curious to try out their clear one.Nyx Butter Gloss (clear): The first near “lip oil” I tried because I hated the tackiness of traditional lip glosses. I don’t have many quarrels with this other than I’ve now tried smoother, non-tacky oils which I prefer because they are more slippery and hardly sticky. This formula gets grainy depending on the weather. It contains a lot of product for the price point, which is wonderful if you’re looking for an honest and affordable gloss. Gingersnap is for the baddiesTower 28 Lip jelly (sesame): This is about tied with the Nyx butter gloss for me in terms of performance. Sesame is a gorgeous everyday color and non-sticky gloss which I’m able to reapply without any white buildup on the lips. Personally, I don’t love the scent — smells like old coconut? Maybe my batch wasn’t fresh. It isn’t an overpowering smell and I can’t taste anything so it doesn’t bother me. I would say it’s mostly on par with the butter gloss texture, but maybe ever so slightly less sticky on the lips which I prefer. Con is it’s on the pricier side. Don’t be fooled by the packaging — you actually get more product in the Nyx butter gloss for way less money.Milani Lip Oil (passion fruit coconut): This lip oil is highly recommended. I like it! Again, don’t love the scent it’s like it wanted to be a pineapple coconut but it just missed the mark for me. I tried the most clear color, but I think I will be trying Coco Cacao as I read it is only a faint brown color that fades over time. It is also moisturizing on the lips and a good price point.Smackers Fruit Glaze Lip Oil (banana): I know this was probably made for children, but can we talk about this ? It is COMPLETELY non-sticky. Oh, I love the formula so much. The scent and taste ? Exact replica of a banana laffy taffy. I mean I’m obsessed! This is my go to for an every day shine. Con? Zero lasting power. Maybe 30-40 mins. However, it’s super cheap and has lasted me 3 months with regular use (+ reapplying through the day). I also wish the packaging were a bit slimmer. If you’re looking for a nighttime lip oil to swipe on before bed without sacrificing one of your fancy oils, I’d say this one’s great!Homebody Liquid Love Lip Oil (by Kali Uchis): My “higher end” lip oil. I LOVE it. The scent is of a sweet rose: divine like Kali. It’s moisturizing, lasts longer than my beloved children’s lip smacker oil. This one’s my go to clear gloss when going out with my boyfriend. I use this in situations where I need something to perform reliably through eat and drink, no residue / white buildup from reapplication, and I can kiss my boyfriend without it getting in the way. It’s pricy, but this is the one for me so far 💋

If you're looking for a lip product that delivers both beautiful shine and nourishing hydration, this is it. First and foremost, the coconut flavor is heavenly. It's a subtle, sweet, and authentic coconut scent that is not overpowering, making it perfect for everyday wear. The "milky" aspect of this lip jelly is what sets it apart. It provides a soft, creamy, and comfortable texture that glides on smoothly and feels incredibly soothing. It's not sticky or greasy, which is the most important part. This lip jelly is also packed with nourishing ingredients that keep your lips hydrated and soft. It's a perfect blend of skincare and makeup, and the delightful coconut flavor is the cherry on top. Highly recommended!

amazing smooth formula. it’s not sticky, while not feel too slick. it’s so beautiful and shiny and a GORGEOUS color!!! i love this lip gloss. worth the cost

I think the color (I got Cashew) is flattering and just the right amount of pigment! It's not sticky and feels comfortable sitting on my lips. I can reapply layers without it getting visibly gunky or stringy. I wouldn't consider it especially moisturizing or worth the money. It doesn't really have any taste or smell nice, which I feel is pretty important in a lip product. If you're sensitive to scents though, this could be a good match for you. The packaging is cute and sturdy, and I haven't experienced it leaking or cracking, which is a win. It reminds me so much of NYX's butter gloss, down to the same barely-there taste. If you don't care about packaging, save your money and just get that!

I love this. It's a pretty match to my lips and it true to the depiction they had to show what the color of the lipgloss would be to the color of the skin. Very moisturizing and stay for a good while.

Tried this at Sephora for the first time when I got a makeover there, this lipgloss is phenomenal actually the best one I’ve ever used. The only thing I wish it had was the plumping effect. I will say it’s more like oily which I like it’s not sticky. Which when I was using, it was wondering aren’t all lip glosses sticky? No they’re not this one is definitely different. I’m glad my make up artist tried it on me because I’ve bought it three times since then from Sephora and Amazon! It doesn’t get stuck in your hair all the time you know when the wind blows and then your hair touches your lip and then it’s all sticking and it’s everywhere. This one definitely hits different. I love it not too thick. but I’m very nice glass finish works well with lip liner, but make sure you don’t dip it back in the tube or you will turn the whole tub tube that lip liner color. That’s the only mistake I made with the first one.

I had this in a sample size and loved it so much that I purchased the full size. Good price. I love the color, amount of product you get, smoothness of application and how it feels moisturizing on. This is not a long lasting formula lip product. This is like a thicker lip gloss with color.

Very good product. Natural, moisturizing , without any strong smell.
