Glossy, pink lips? You know I love ‘em! Right now, my go-to pink lip gloss is Lipstick Queen’s Big Bang Lip Gloss in Creation, pictured fifth from the left.

The concept behind Big Bang lip glosses was to create a gloss that gives the illusion of fuller lips, by just using shimmer and shine–not any irritating lip-plumping ingredients. And?

Mission accomplished. Creation gives the juiciest, most perfectly pink shade of lips, with a healthy dose of shine, and what I’m dubbing “micro-shimmer.” You see, the gloss does have shimmer, but the particles are so small, that it’s hard to detect, so it’s not like “whoa, that’s some shimmery lip gloss.” Instead, the micro-shimmer reflects light, making lips look fuller.

Plus, the thick yet non-sticky properties of the formula make it stay on well and it even feels moisturizing. The shine looks healthy and inviting, not artificial or plastic. Overall, it’s simply stellar!
