Best Holographic Lip Gloss
Milani Stellar Lights Holographic Lip Gloss, $9
Holographic lip glosses are all the rage right now and Milani's got a great budget-friendly option. You can't go wrong with any of the colors but the hypnotic Kaleidoscopic Purple (a sheer purple, packed with iridescent blue shimmer) is especially gorgeous.
Best Protective Lip Gloss
Even if you consider yourself pretty good about your daily dose of SPF, it's easy to leave your lips out of the equation. A subtly sparkly gloss like this one from Colorescience is a great solution to that problem — now your lips can grab a little extra protection while they shine.
Best Color-Changing Lip Gloss
Surratt Beauty Lip Lustre in Je Ne Sais Quoi, $32
Who among us doesn't love a good pH-adjusting color-changing lip gloss? Je Ne Sais Quoi, a recently-launched shade from Surratt, looks like an iridescent unicorn blue in the tube but quickly transforms to a high-octane shimmery pink on your lips.
Best Lip Gloss Packaging
CoverGirl Katy Kat Lip Gloss, $7.99
Between its offbeat range of colors and the adorable chrome cat on each lid, there's a lot to love when it comes to Katy Perry's new line of glosses with CoverGirl.
Best Lip Gloss for a Popsicle Pout
Benefit Punch Pop! Liquid Lip Color, $18
The color pay-off is killer and the shades are pure fun. With the full coverage finish and major shine factor, they give your lips the perfect summer popsicle look.
