Possibly the best lip gloss for your money

Is this one: Face Of Australia lip shine.

My criteria:

Stupidly high shine. (This is a subjective thing; you may prefer a less terrifyingly glazed finish. You probably also like eating your oysters natural, but again, that’s your choice.) I discovered this gloss years ago, when I was back at Cosmo, and gave it much editorial over the years for this very reason: Massively shiny lips are totally awesome.

Cheap, cheap, cheap. I don’t know the exact price, but if i recall, it’s roughly as expensive as a small pizza, or a massage on a Thai beach. It’s at priceline, and chemists, I’m guessing. (Probably you won’t find it at Gucci, but as with my knowledge on it’s cost, that too is a guess.)

Lasts. Really lasts. I can put this gear on after brushing my teeth, (dabbing, not swiping) and it’ll still be flirtatiously highlighting my lips at lunch. Really! This, of course, infers that it’s a very tacky, thick texture. Which it is, and  some people hate that, so you’ve been warned. But! It also lasts in terms of how long it takes to get through a pot. May I suggest leaving it as your bathroom-sink gloss, or your desk gloss, and taking your tubes in your handbag. It’s a nice friend to have as your finishing touch before you walk out the door.

The Jasmine shade is Pretty Much A Perfect Nude.
It’s sheer, but there’s a whisper of subtle pink. Awww.

It doesn’t make my lips feel like the bottom of my shoe after walking on hot asphalt for 67 hours. Maybe that’s because they put vitamin E and jojoba oil in it. That was nice of them, wasn’t it?

Another great thing:

It’s a ‘Strayan owned and made… Dammit. I should’ve saved this post for Straya day!

Meh, I’ll post about Vegemite and Echidnas instead.
