No, to dampen lips you use lipbalm, lipgloss is to make your lips look shiny and make it look poutier than ever! ^^

I have tried only two brands of lipgloss, maybelline and an European brand (cant rbr the name now) which sells super cheap.

My conclusion: Use the branded and well-known stuff, cuz the cheaper ones aren't as glossy, and u need to apply more to achieve the same glossy effect as applying abit of the good brand.

I know branded lipgloss may be pricey, but its worth it. Well depends on how u use it tho. I love my lipgloss colour so much that i only use that one colour
