A quick and simple gloss at such an affordable price is a perfect handbag essential you can top up with throughout the day. For under £3, you get a generous 8 ml of glassy gloss that's non-greasy, plus, it's cruelty-free too! 

There's little information about the ingredients used by the brand so its hard to determine just how moisturising this product is. However, if you don't have dry lips and you're just looking for a sleek, glossy coverage, this might be a good option for you. 

This is a widely-popular lip product, which explains why it's so hard to get your hands on. However, we can see why! This ultra-soft gloss has a prismatic shimmer that gives you popping lips without feeling thick and sticky. 

It's ideal for so many things – whether you like a clear gloss over your natural lip or you like to add a bit of sparkle to your favourite matte lipstick, you're sure to love this product. Just bear in mind that as the gloss fades, you might notice a bit of shimmer left behind.

Kevyn Aucoin has created a fashionable lip gloss that reflects a subtle glaze, perfect for pared-back office or day-to-day looks. It has a non-sticky formula that glides on easily and is super comfortable to wear, plus, it's enriched with Vitamin E and antioxidants that will condition your lips and create a protective seal.

For a three-dimensional glow, this gloss is a gorgeous choice, and although it's a little small for its price, it makes for a cute pocket-sized gloss that you can carry in your handbag.  

This clear gloss by Soap and Glory is the tube that you need to make your lips pop. Not only will your lips be super-shiny and smooth, but it also contains plumping agents to make them look fuller and rounder, creating a warm tingly feeling upon use – don't worry, if your lips feel fuzzy, it's normal! 

Mixed with plant oils to soften the skin, this 10 ml tube of lip gloss requires just one thin coat for you to be able to see some amazing results. 

This glassy lip gloss is made with a vitamin-E-rich formula to create a high shine that can stay put for up to six hours. After those six hours, there isn't any sticky residue left over so you can top up nice and easily. 

Producing a clear, glowing finish, this gloss comes with a hint of shimmer so your lips will appear more full and pouty than ever before. The wand is described as 'lip-hugging' due to its curved shape that drags lightly across the surface. And, for all the savvy shoppers out there, this product is 100% vegan!

This gloss has plenty going for it – it doesn't feel sticky, it's lightweight, and it has a highly-moisturising formula. Along with the famous cupuaçu butter, there's a generous amount of both agave and moringa oil to nourish your the natural way.

This clear shimmer gloss has an extra-wide applicator and according to happy reviewers, it has a sweet candy-like scent. With its long-lasting smooth finish, this is definitely a product you'll want to get your hands on. 

Just a tiny bead of this clear lip gloss can go a long way as it is a highly-concentrated formula. It also contains jojoba oil to help smooth out dry lips, which is good for autumn and winter weather – we're all more than familiar with the skincare dramas brought by the cooler seasons! 

As MAC is a professional makeup brand, this pure gloss's formula is even able to be mixed with a pigment to add a bit of tint, if you're feeling creative. On its own, it looks sleek and subtle, creating a sheen that you're bound to love. 

A beautiful topcoat for your lipstick, this gloss will achieve a thick layer without taking off the product underneath. This is thanks to its unique silicone applicator which sets it aside from many others in areas such as texture and usability. And the best part about it? Unlike sponge wands, this one won't stain upon contact with your lipstick. 

Lightweight and long-lasting are two factors that you need for a gloss so that you can be comfortable wearing it for the whole day, and that's exactly what this product brings to the table. 

Keep your lips sweet and shiny all day with this 'Stay' lip gloss. With a bold shine and extreme moisture, this product can define the shape of your lips. It has a naturally contour-hugging wand to make every part of the process as comfortable as possible. 

Another useful little factor of this elegant gloss is that the lid is shaped for you to be able to grip and twist easily for opening. Also, the container holds 5.5 ml so it's compact enough to fit into even the smallest clutch bag. 

With countless outstanding reviews, this clear lip gloss wipes the floor when it comes to quality and standards, and offers great coverage and a powerful shine. You're sure to love how this affordable, cruelty-free gloss makes your lips pop! 

To top it off, it's enriched with a bevvy of plant oils and vitamin E to draw up and lock in moisture, keeping your lips soft for the entire day. Of course, if you want to top up anyway, this lip gloss is non-sticky so you can lather on as much as you like.
