15. Colourpop Ultra Glossy Lip (Wolfie)
A lip gloss with a metallic sheen, it’s basically a marriage between the two things we love most in 2018 – the rise of the lip gloss, and metallic lippies. Because if you can’t decide between a gloss or a metallic lippie, why not just have both in one?
Personally, we were sold the moment we saw that to-die-for golden metallic sheen.
Retails at SGD15.01 and is available on Shopee.
