BEST CLEAR LIP GLOSS 2020 (No peppermint!) - Ranking 7 Favorites in My High End to Luxury Collection

I rank, lip-swatch, and describe the scent of SEVEN lip glosses in my high-end to luxury collection. Knowing that peppermint can be polarizing, I made sure to exclude that ingredient in this curated grouping. Watch for price comparisons, ingredient call outs, and wear time (not to mention a tie-dye shirt cameo!) I adore lip glosses and have finally found a favorite ride-or-die this year. Let me know if you’d like to see any specific glosses in a future video in this series. I hope to tackle tinted glosses next. Thanks for watching!

Hi! 31 year old fellow Pisces here who did search for exactly this. Glad I found you, now to watch the rest of your videos...

[@SlowGaze]

Hi, how did I miss your kindred spirit comment? So glad you're here... Pisces on! xoxo Diana

[@AliceRogers]

You know how much I love the Fenty gloss... the formula is great! The scent is a lot but not as bad as some liquid matte lipsticks, I’d say (looking at those Milani lipsticks with that INTENSE cake-like smell)... just stronger than most lip glosses.

[@SlowGaze]

You commented!!! I love you! I've never tried the Milani lipsticks, but you know I like a yummy cake-like scent. Why aren't there lippies that smell like tiramisu?!

[@PriyankaMalagi]

Been hunting for one and done eyeshadows and discovered you that way. I love how eloquent and cool you are! I'm 30 too, and Aquarian, have similar makeup preferences so our vibes totally match. Been binge watching you and loving it ! Good luck on your channel! May it thrive! 😊❤️

[@emkavintage5675]

[@lechewga]

clear lip gloss is my ultimate favorite product and ive seen EVERY lip gloss favorites/collection and yours is by far the best! definitely found a couple new gems to buy. i recommend the Lip Gloss Boss Balmy Gloss! gloss/balm hybrid that isnt sticky, comes in tube or tub form and gives a cool minty feeling isnt isnt painful at all :-)

[@SlowGaze]

Ahhh, this swells my heart! Thank you so much for watching and I'm glad this was helpful. I've never heard of the Lip Gloss Boss - but anything that comes in a tin, I'm in! Really appreciate the reco. Take care and stay safe out there! xoxo Diana

[@odezamae]

I feel the same way with the fenty glosses i wished i can tolerate the scent. First time i tried it i got instant headache.I returned it and then bought it again and still hate it 😞

[@SlowGaze]

I feel your pain! Thanks so much for watching xoxo Diana

[@theresatran]

[@jeanie1137]

This review was so fun and informative and I love how you articulate your thoughts in a cool, casual way. #InstantSubscribe Btw, I would love to see your favorite drugstore lip gloss/oil faves too.💛

[@paulaalvaradoa]

You need to try Dior lipglosses pleaseee

[@SlowGaze]

Thanks for the suggestion! Just about to post a massive lippie declutter that includes some Dior glosses in there. Which should I try next? Thanks so much for watching!

[@katelynnlee5158]

Lol Almost every gloss is clear to me, because they are so sheer. The only difference are the formulas, brands, and shimmers. I like to mix the clear or sheer glosses with some of my matte lipsticks. My lips are pigmented. lol Fenty gloss bombs are my favorite! All I need is one swipe and I'm good! But if you have smaller lips or like less product, then you can just swipe some of the gloos back into the tube. lol I haven't finished any of my glosses yet. Fenty's gloss bombs have so much product!

[@SlowGaze]

Haha, so true! Those Fenty gloss bombs pack a punch! I've only started mixing my glosses with matte lipsticks - I used to think it felt too heavy, or too done on my lips. But if you have gorgeous fully pigmented lips, huzzah for color AND shine! Thanks so much for watching xoxo Diana

[@jossalyn5632]

I have the kosas lip oil and I absolutely hate the scent. Lol I'm also not a fan of the scent of the fenty gloss bombs. I love coconut/tropical scents and vanilla. The fenty gloss smells like children's tylenol to me and gives me an instant headache😅

[@jossalyn5632]

I gave my fenty gloss to my daughter because the scent was so awful to me. I appreciate you talking about it because not a lot of people have.

[@SlowGaze]

You're the first person I've found to share this scent repulsion haha! Maybe I'm not friends with enough people ;-) It's such a shame, because everything else about those glosses are (literally) bomb.

[@SlowGaze]

Ooo, coconut + vanilla are also my favorite gloss smells (are we scent sisters?! lol) Do you have any favorites to share based on that? I've been enjoying Nabla's Champagne Supernova of late, and even Buxom's autumn scents. Thanks for watching fellow gloss lover! xoxo Diana

[@odezamae]

Same. I have 2 full size of fenty glosses but i don’t use it that much as the scent is overwhelming for me like i could really taste it. I hate it! My favorite is Dior Lip oil.

[@jossalyn5632]

I have so many glosses and lip oils it's not even funny. I'm up to like 40.

[@inui5488]

me too! I have 29 right now because Im just addicted to lip products 😂

[@tiaaaxvlog1075]

Is the second lipgloss ( glossier ) you used clear .. like all white Or it is the one with some pink

[@SlowGaze]

It's the clear one with a little pink (OG lol)! Not the white with sparkle. They came out with new ones since this video

[@tiaaaxvlog1075]

@@SlowGaze thank you so much btw I love your videos🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@tiaaaxvlog1075]

Does Sephora sell glossier products ??

[@SlowGaze]

Sadly, not yet! xoxo Diana

[@almatoledo1608]
