Looking for a snog at the HK Rugby Sevens? Make sure your lips are in tip top shape and pucker up girls, its time it slip on something fabulous!  We’ve tried and tested lipglosses galore to find the best ones for your luscious lips.

1 .LANCOME PARIS JUICY TUBES - $165
Since Lancome introduced the worlds first lipgloss in a tube in 2000, other companies have been vying to compete with the Mamasan of lipware -Juicy Tubes.  You just can’t beat the shine, this uber glossy lipgloss is available in a vast array of colours and tingly flavours, which are perfect to wear alone or worn over lipstick for that wow factor.  It’s still there shining up your lips like a beacon after numerous Cosmos at Tivo, and tapas at Enoteca, but do refrain from snogging the boy.  After many attempts for a bit of a smooch with gloopy lips, the boy has started to cower away from the ‘yucky mouth’.  Alas no tongue action but fabulous looking lips all night long.

2. DIOR ADDICT ULTRA GLOSS REFLECT – $200
This high tech lipgloss with multi-dimentional reflective pigments that make your lips shimmer and shine to reflect that star that you are.  The Ultra Gloss Reflect has the perfect combination of moisturiser for dry lips, combined, colour and shimmer, with the right amount of gloss without flyaway hair sticking to your lips.

3. MAC LIPGLASS CLEAR – $125

Whilst available in a ridiculously large amount of colours, our fave Mac Lipglass is in puritanical Clear.  It punches a massive punch in the gloss stakes, as you will be hard pushed to find a glossier pout than one doused in Mac LipGlass.  It adds an incredible shine on nude lips (use a nude lip-liner, no dark liner and glossy lips please girls, that is so 1990′s Morticia Adams!), looks fabulous over any number of lipsticks for extra shine, and makes matte lipstick look more sheer.  The only problem is it’s extreme stickiness.  Whilst this is the main reason is lasts so long, and you seldom need to reapply, don’t be shocked to find your hair stuck to your lips.  Mental note, don’t wear during a typhoon.

4. CHANEL LEVRES SCINTILLANTES (Glossimer for lips) – $220
For those of you who crave for shiny sexy lips, but cant stand the uber sticky high gloss gels, then this may be the perfect compromise.  It leaves a high shine, without the ridiculous stickiness of some other glosses, and if a deep colour is chosen, has a great colour intensity, and lasts an impressively long time. The shine creates a impact without being overbearing, and if sheer colours are chosen, they again shimmer with tiny particles rather than bigger glittery bits.  You might even get  snog as boys may not be so adverse your subtle sexy shimmer!   

5.LAURA MERCIER LIP GLACÉ – $170
Another favourite for the more subtle lipgloss wearers.  This lipgloss leaves the lips beautifully hydrated, and very smooth.  It almost feels like a lip treatment, rather than a cosmetic.  It doesn’t last as long as some of the others, and isn’t as high-shine as some of the others, but its non-sticky formula creates very striking and elegant pouts. Available in a variety of coverages (sheer, meduim and full) and finished (shine, sheen and shimmer), there is a choice for everyone.  We love Baby Doll and Rose depending on natural lip colour for a barely there, but sexy pout.
