I have a problem. A big one. It's a lip gloss problem and it's out of control. Some might call it an addiction and I'm OK with that. After all, what other addiction keeps your lips healthy and moisturized while adding shine, flavor, and pretty color? Seeing that I have hundreds of various lip glosses, I figure I must be some sort of expert. I know all the best places to buy relatively inexpensive lip gloss in Boston and lay it all out for you here. Not that I want you to become an addict like me or anything...

Bonne Bell

This is the lip gloss (chapstick) that started it all. At one point this was my heaven. And I’m not gonna lie, I still get a little bit excited about it. Look at all those flavors! I’ve probably had at least 100 of these in my lifetime and still use them from time to time (great before bed!). There are a few discontinued flavors that I would do anything to have come back!

Bath & Body Works

425 Washington St, Boston, MA 02108

Onnce just the go-to for country apple body spray and Freesia hand lotion, Bath & Body Works now has a fantastic plethora of lip glosses. This excites me because, while I’m pretty much over my sun-ripened raspberry phase, I’m still very much in a delicious lip gloss phase and now I have just one more place to go!

Tutti Dolci

I think I have at least 10 Tutti Dolci lip glosses. The flavors are SO SO amazing, you have to try them to believe it. They are flavored to taste like some of your favorite desserts and they do a fabulous job atreplicating them. My personal fave flaves are the creme brulee and lemon meringue. They say that deliciously flavored lip glosses can even calm real sugary food cravings. After using Tutti Dolci, I believe it!

Goldie

Goldie is another brand of lip gloss I discovered at Bath & Body Works. While it’s a bit more expensive than the lip glosses I typically buy, I love the color and feel of it, especially the snowfox color. It’s really pretty-looking, but still subtle enough and doesn’t look like you’re overdoing it. Great for special occasions!

Co Bigelow

Copley Pl, Boston, MA 02116

CO Bigelow is probably my favorite place to stock up on the lip glosses that are great for everyday use. They make your lips feel so refreshed, smooth, and shiny and some of them are so minty fresh, they’re even said to help give you better breath! Pretty lips and fresh breath?? How can you argue with that?

CO Bigelow Lip Gloss

Widget_bfxzxkfx9kul-4ufrlzkaj

Honestly, ALL of the CO Bigelow lip glosses are good, but the vanilla cola one is one of my absolute favorites. It tastes soooo amazing and also feels fabulous once it hits your lips.

I also highly recommend the spearmint one, but the grapefruit flavored gloss is also delicious!

CO Bigelow Lemon

Widget_cx_ivkg7nivb7vyk6fboju

I haven’t tried CO Bigelow’s lemon lip gloss yet, but this definitely has to be the next one I test becauseI absolutely LOVE the way CO Bigelow’s other lemon products smell. Better than any lemon you’ve ever sniffed before!!

Widget_ccgeqq-hpdg4ixc-16pfq7

I wish the CO Bigelow van would come and visit me in Boston!

Make Your Own Lip Gloss

In the Microwave? OK sure. He is very excited about the whole ordeal!

Lip Gloss Heaven in Boston

Not like you need all of these at once, but you might not be able to resist. And it never hurts to stock up- keep a couple in your purse, some next to your bed, a few in your jacket pockets, etc. One can never have too many lip glosses!

 

Cvs Pharmacy

587 Boylston St, Boston, MA 02116

CVS is obviously a go-to for all kinds of lip glosses. They have everything from the major beauty brands, like Maybelline, Cover Girl, Loreal, etc. And they also tend to have a fabulous selection of Bonne Bell (though it’s not as good as it once was!). CVS also tends to have a lot of weekly sales, so check the ads and learn what lip gloss you can get a deal on this week!

Maybelline Shiny-licious

Widget_avbmw3935cs4dlyw8u3i32

This is probably my absolute favorite lip gloss ever. And here it is in my absolute favorite color ever- lolly-pink. Shiny-licious adds the perfect amount of color and just feels so good on your lips- not too sticky, not too gooey; nice and smooth. It’s also super long-lasting and smells delicious!

Shiny-licious comes in a bunch of different colors and flavors and while I enjoy most of them, lolly-pink is still the best!

Mac Macys Boston

450 Washington St, Boston, MA 02111

Of course department stores are the perfect place to go for all your high-end makeup needs. And Macy’s is my favorite department store for lip gloss shopping. Just because they have high-end makeup, doesn’t mean all their lip gloss is super expensive. It’s worth it to go and just wander around, checking out the makeup counters and seeing what each has to offer!

Lancome Juicy Tubes

Widget_dy1st8kntfzrh8g5tbkyvz

Lancome’s Juicy Tubes are for me today like what Bonne Bell chapsticks were were for me back in the day. I used to get a 8-pack of special flavors of Bonne Bell for Christmas every year, and now I get the 8-pack of Juicy Tubes.

The glosses are SO good. They must have over 100 different colors and shades, including tons of pretty pinks that I love. They also smell quite nice and are super shiny and well, juicy. I love this stuff!

I wish...

my lip gloss had super powers like this one. As if lip gloss isn’t amazing enough!

Sephora

800 Boylston St Ste 107, Boston, MA 02199

You already know Sephora has basically every kind of makeup in the world, so it only makes sense that they carry lots of lip gloss too. They’re always getting more and their glosses range from being a good deal to being ridiculously expensive.

I could happily browse Sephora all day and it would probably take me forever to try all their lip glosses. But oh how much fun it would be!

Philosophy Lip Glosses

Widget_drafvyg7vlc7u8khs-wmi3

I love Philosophy brand everything, so their lip glosses are no exception. I’ve never tried the ones pictured above, but how pretty and fun do they look?

I do love Philosophy’s cinnamon bun lip gloss, as well as their sugar cookie one. They obviously taste amazing and also give your lips a nice little tingle.

Patricia Wexler's Lip Plumper

Widget_bkggelrf9ie7naffwri9zt

I love this stuff!! I’m not quite sure just how much it plumps up my lips, but I do know that it tingles like nothing else, almost to the point of pain. But to me, that just means it’s working and is a pain that feels good! I also love how it smoothly brushes on and doesn’t get sticky at all. The colors are all great, but I mostly prefer the lighter pinks.

I know, you’re surprised that a store known for selling their sexy underwear is also a great place to pick up lip gloss, right? Well, they actually have a ton of bath and body products and lots of fun lip glosses. Obviously if you’re going to look your best in your new nighty, your lips have to be shiny too!

Sweet Talk

Widget_bhx5ucmelg-b23qc6-_9gi

I’m a fan of Victoria’s Secret Sweet Talk because it does a really good job at moisturizing and leaves my lips so nice and shiny. It does get a little bit sticky and I wish it were a bit smoother, but the shine makes it worth it!

Beauty Rush

Widget_dtc5iwr7td7phwzyq-o_tk

Victoria’s Secret also has a line of lip glosses called Beauty Rush and they’re great when you’re looking for just a bit of color and a touch of shine. Beauty Rush glosses come in lots of different colors and flavors and Victoria’s Secret also has lots of great sales and special offers when it comes to buying the lip glosses.

I love cupcakes, the color pink, writing, technology, blogging, trying to learn Japanese, and walking from one end of Boston to the other. I make it my goal to try one new thing in Boston every week, but sometimes I find things I love so much, I just can't tear myself away from them. Boston...
