POPSUGAR staffers have long loved the Beauty by POPSUGAR Sweet Stx, but when they finally got to try the new glossy version, Beauty by POPSUGAR Sweet Stx Glossy Lip Color ($20), they couldn't wait to share their thoughts.
The products have a shiny finish and buildable color that comes in an easy-to-apply stick formula. Although they have the buttery texture of a lip balm, these colors give you the same effect as a gloss without the dreaded sticky factor. The smooth application is likely due to the moisturizing ingredients included in the formula, such as cocoa seed butter, shea butter, and sunflower seed oil.
Ahead, you can check out the six new shades and find out what editors had to say about the new launch. You can pick up the sticks online at Kohl's now, as well as in select stores starting in May.

What an Editor Says
"This is one of my absolute favorite lipsticks. It goes on so well, hydrates lips, and adds the most tasteful pop of color. It completely enhances my natural lip color and leaves my lips looking moisturized and glossy. The shade Fling is absolutely perfect because it's subtle enough for everyday looks but also adds some much-needed color. This gloss can be used as a liner, too!" — Lauren Harano, coordinator, Growth and Strategic Features

What an Editor Says
"I used to be a devout matte lipstick user (liquid lipsticks, in particular), but I've become more adventurous than ever in the last few months. First, I moved on to sponge-tip lip stains, then glosses, and now the Sweet Stx Glossy Lip Color. The formula sits somewhere between a gloss and a lipstick (a glossy stick, if you will), and my favorite shade, Better Half, is the perfect everyday pink. It's neutral enough to go with whatever I'm wearing but has enough pigment to take things one step beyond my natural lip color." — Carrie Carrollo, assistant beauty editor, Native

What an Editor Says
"WOW. One buttery swipe of the stick and I truly fell in love with the shiny mauvey-pink shade of Partner in Crime. I loved how smoothly it applied on my lips without accentuating any dryness, as well as how comfortable and hydrating it felt on. I'm hoping to keep one in every purse I own from now on." — Sarah Siegel, assistant editor, Beauty

What an Editor Says
"What I love about this Glossy Stx is how well it works for darker skin tones. As a black woman, it's hard finding lip products with warm undertones, but this one passes the test. Not to mention the buttery glide and bomb ingredients. It does not dry up and make my lips dry! A+!" — Rachael Edwards, coordinator, Social Media

What an Editor Says
"There's only so much you can expect from a lip product, but this one somehow checks off all of the boxes. It gives you both the color payoff of your favorite lipstick and the surge of hydration of your go-to lip salve. Its rounded tip is also ideal when it comes to application, as it makes it easy to line my lips with precision before filling them in." — Jesa Calaor, assistant editor, Beauty
