These 11 Drugstore Lip Glosses Look Just Like My Favorite Expensive Ones

You could say I'm a lip gloss stan. Ever since I can remember, I've liked my lips just like I like my doughnuts—glazed and glossy. Sure, there's a time and place for matte lips and there are some fun color opportunities when it comes to lustrous lipsticks, but lip gloss is that makeup unicorn that can be worn in any situation. Meeting? Lip gloss. Date? Gloss it up. Staying home to binge Netflix with your dog? May the gloss be with you!

The best part? Some of the highest-rated glosses out there can be found at the drugstore or at your favorite affordable e-tailer. Personally, I've got expensive taste in, well, everything (sigh), but I take comfort knowing that there are plenty of lip lacquers that provide similar texture, color, and finish to the super-expensive ones I'm always tempted to splurge on.

Ahead, check out the 11 best drugstore lip glosses that rival their expensive counterparts, and stock up on your favorites before the internet finds out these dupes exist.
