Get That Shimmery Shine with MINI Mint Lip Glosses

Feel the Tingle!

Something many beauty junkies never grow out of, from their very first time experimenting with makeup, is a love of shimmery lip gloss. The shine of a glossy lip makes your smile appear fuller and younger, and lip gloss is one of the easiest lip products to wear. However, if you love to try a lot of colors, or you move on to other lip products frequently, you probably have tons of lip gloss tubes that have gone bad or dried up throughout the years. That’s why we created these mini lip glosses. You can enjoy a color to your heart’s content, knowing you’ll use every drop of the gloss before your eye is caught by something else. Try your favorite shade or all nine of our Mini Mint Lips Gloss colors.

What Is a Mini Mint Lip Gloss?

Our Mini Mint Lip Gloss is a miniature sized gloss that includes .0125 ounces of lip gloss in a portable tube. It contains spearmint to give your lips a cool, minty sensation with each swipe, as well as Aloe, vitamin C, and vitamin E for hydration and anti-aging effects. Lastly, these are cruelty-free products that are great for kids and gifts.

Why Choose a Mini Mint Lip Gloss?

There are several reasons that these lip glosses are ideal. First of all, the small size makes them perfect for travelling, tossing into your purse or gym bag, keeping in the car, or stowing in your work desk for a quick touch up. You have the chance to try several colors without worrying that you’ll be stuck with something you hate or that a product will dry up if you don’t use it daily.

Second, the formulation of these mini mint lip glosses is phenomenal. In addition to the pleasant tingling sensation of the mint, and the hydrating ingredients that keep your lips plump and youthful, these lip glosses also avoid the common issue of being sticky or gloopy. Instead, they glide on and leave behind a moisturized finish that feels natural and easy to wear.

Third, the color options! As lip glosses, these are mostly sheer washes of tint, that just barely add a hint of color while bringing plenty of shine to your lips. This is perfect if you must wear muted makeup for work or school, or if you simply prefer the look of just a hint of color. This is a great way to try out a new color if you don’t want to try a full lipstick yet. Get an idea of what a bright red, or a pastel pink, might look like on you with a gloss.

How to Choose the Right Color for You

There are nine shades in our range of Mini Mint Lip Glosses:

• Jewel is a clear gloss that leaves a hint of shimmer with no added color.
• Pink Satin is a very soft wash of delicate pink, with no shimmer.
• Pink Buff is a soft wash of plum – not too deep, but deeper than Pink Satin – with no shimmer.
• Charming is a rose mauve tint with added shimmer.
• Blossom is a deeper plum than Pink Buff, with mauve undertones, and no shimmer.
• Sugar Glaze is mostly clear with a bit of a peachy undertone with no shimmer.
• Crimson is a nice bright red tint with no shimmer.
• Candy is a bubblegum pink with a bit of shimmer.
• Berry is a deep berry tint with no shimmer.

Any of these tints would work perfectly for anyone, because they are all very subtle. If you prefer a nude look, stick with Mint Jewel, Mint Pink Satin, Mint Pink Buff, Mint Sugar Glaze, or Mint Charming, depending on your skin tone. Love mauve-colored lipsticks…try Mint Blossom.

If you want to step outside your comfort zone, or you just love pigmented lip gloss looks, Mint Crimson, Mint Candy, and Mint Berry offer some unique shades that transform the look of your natural lips.

Fun Ways to Use Lip Gloss

Do you know how to apply gloss properly? Many people try to swipe it on the way they would a lipstick, but that’s actually part of what causes sticky, goopy lip gloss. To prevent this, just apply the gloss to the middle of your bottom lip, and then rub the lips together. This gets an even, light coat onto the entire lip, without getting too much in the corners. Build up the color by repeating the same process. One more tip, if you really want or need more, you can swipe across the bottom lip only.

One great way to bring some more color to your lips without losing the glossy shine of lip gloss is to apply lip gloss over a lipstick. Choose a nude lipstick that is close to your natural lip color to keep the lip gloss looking close to its natural color, or apply over a colored lip stick to transform the look.

If you want your lip gloss to stick around longer throughout the day, apply it over a lip stain rather than a lip stick. Also, use a lip liner in a natural shade or a clear liner to keep the gloss from feathering. If you struggle with lip gloss accentuating lines in your lips, try exfoliating first by rubbing a toothbrush with Vaseline on it over your lips.

If you want your lip gloss to really pop, apply concealer to your lips first, and then add colored lip gloss. This will make the color of the lip gloss itself stand out in a very bold way.

Finally, get brave and use your favorite color as a unique highlight or blush topper on your cheeks! Just swipe the color on and blend out with your fingers.
