The Glitter Gloss Picks!
Hi Lykkers! There was a time when I avoided glitter gloss completely. I assumed it would feel sticky, look overly dramatic, or leave random sparkles all over my face by the end of the day.
But after trying a few formulas, I realized that a good glitter gloss can completely change a makeup look.
Recently, I compared two options that sit at very different price points: Queen Cosmetics Glitter Gloss for around $18 and NYX Glitter Gloss for about $9. The price difference made me wonder—does spending twice as much actually make a difference?
1. Queen Cosmetics Glitter Gloss ($18): The Glamorous Choice
The first thing that caught my attention about Queen Cosmetics was the sparkle itself. The glitter particles look more noticeable, especially under sunlight or indoor lighting. Instead of appearing flat, the gloss creates a multidimensional shine that instantly makes lips stand out.

I found myself reaching for it whenever I wanted my makeup to feel a little more special. Whether it was dinner with friends or a night out, it added that extra touch without needing much effort elsewhere in my routine. The texture also felt smooth on the lips. Even after wearing it for a while, it didn't feel overly heavy, which is something I always pay attention to when it comes to glosses.
2. NYX Glitter Gloss ($9): Affordable but Still Fun
At half the price, NYX surprised me in a good way. The sparkle effect is softer and more subtle, making it easier to wear on an everyday basis. Instead of being the center of attention, it adds a hint of shine that catches the light when you move. I actually enjoyed using it for casual makeup days.
A quick swipe over a lip tint or lipstick instantly made my lips look more polished. It felt like one of those products you can toss into your bag without worrying too much about it.
Not every beauty product has to be expensive to be enjoyable. After trying both glosses, I found that each one has its own place. Queen Cosmetics brings drama and shine, while NYX offers an affordable way to add a touch of sparkle to everyday makeup. So, Lykkers, if you had to choose, would you spend a little extra for a bold glittery finish, or would you rather save a few dollars and still enjoy the shine?
