Lip gloss is one of those things I circle back to without really planning it. I might go through phases of matte lips or tinted balms, but somehow gloss always finds its way back into my routine.

There’s something about the finish—it feels easy, a bit nostalgic, but still current depending on how you wear it. These two glosses have been sitting side by side for a while, and I’ve noticed I reach for them in different moods.

1. Ohmyskin Gloss

This gloss from Ohmyskin feels like the definition of simple. It gives that clear, glassy shine without trying to add too much else. I like using it on days when I don’t want to think too hard about my makeup. Sometimes I wear it on its own, other times I layer it over a lipstick just to soften the look a bit. It has that clean finish that makes everything feel a little more put together, even when the rest of my makeup is minimal.

2. Glxssy Cherry Tinted Lip Gloss

The Glxssy cherry gloss brings a bit more personality. The tint adds a subtle wash of color, so it doesn’t feel as neutral as a clear gloss. I usually reach for this when I want something in between—more than just shine, but not as committed as a full lipstick. The cherry tone gives a fresh, slightly playful look, especially in natural light. It’s the kind of gloss that makes your lips look a bit more alive without making it obvious you tried.

I used to think one gloss was enough, but these two changed that. The Ohmyskin gloss feels like a reset—simple, clean, no extra thought. The Glxssy one adds a bit of color and mood without crossing into anything too bold. Having both means I don’t have to force one style every day.
