Tower 28's ShineOn Milky Lip Jelly Is Glassy and Non-Sticky

With the resurgence of Y2K beauty, high-shine lip gloss is back. I know what you're thinking: "I don't want my hair sticking to my glossy lips," and believe me, neither do I, but the next generation of glosses no longer has that heavy, sticky formula. Newer formulas are created to also be hydrating while also imparting gloss and a pretty hue. Tower 28 Beauty's ShineOn Jelly Lip Gloss caught my eye (because it's all over Instagram right now) because of its sleek design and flattering shades. Read on to find out whether this lipgloss should be on your spring and summer wishlist.

About My Lips: Always in need of moisture

When I think of my skincare and makeup products, the first word that comes to mind is hydrating. If I could, I would capitalize, bold, and highlight that word to stress how important it is to my daily routine. That said, having hydrated lips is vital to me, and moisturizing lippies are a must-have product for me. Also, since the skin around my lips is sensitive, I like a sweet scent in lip products but no fragrance. 

I love a gorgeous rosy brown and nude brown hues and tried the shades "Almond" and "Cashew" from Tower 28's collection. I used them almost every day for three weeks while wearing no makeup, light makeup, and even full-on glam.

How to Apply: Sweep on with applicator

Tower 28 Beauty's ShineOn Jelly Lip Gloss is one of the most straightforward lip products to apply. The included applicator is stable, and its shape makes it easy to cover your entire lips with the gloss.

The Results: High-Shine and Hydrated Lips

The transparent and stylish packaging of Tower 28 Beauty's Jelly Lip Gloss was the first thing that drew my attention to it. I appreciate how you can clearly see the shade, and it's light enough to take with you wherever. When I swatched the product on my hand, it didn't feel sticky at all, and it was extremely light. The first time I used it, it felt exactly the same on my lips.

My lips were left shining with a hint of color. It lasted for hours and withstood the high and low temperatures I was experiencing in my area. For hours, my lips felt moisturized, which is just what a person with dry lips like me needs. After a few weeks of using this lipgloss, I observed that my lips were softer, which was a fantastic bonus. Overal, l I found Tower 28 Beauty's Lip Jelly is a no-fuss lip gloss that's lightweight and simple to apply.

The Value: Worth every penny

The ShineOn Jelly Lip Gloss by Tower 28 Beauty costs $15. After doing some research, I discovered that lip glosses range in price from $3 to $35, depending on the brand. Tower 28's Jelly Lip Gloss is priced in the middle, and I believe it is well worth it. You receive 0.13 oz/3.9 mL of product, which is rather generous. Also, the formula and texture are stunning. If you're bored of simple lip balms and having to put your finger or use a tool to get into those lip mask jars, this Jelly Lip Gloss is a must-have. It's small enough to fit in your purse and will give your lips a pop of color to liven up your look.
