Here's what Mytour Shopping editor Amanda Davis has to say: "I can vouch for how incredible these lip glosses are! The Gloss Bomb in shades "Hot Chocolit" and "Cheeky" have been essentials in my purse probably since the day they launched. The non-sticky formula is a game-changer for me, plus I love how versatile it is. It works beautifully on top of lip liner, but it's also great on its own. And the ✨shine✨ is perfection. People can probably spot me from a mile away after I apply it, which I think is a very good quality in lip gloss."
