Rihanna stays in her bag when it comes to giving us makeup we didn’t even know we needed. Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bomb Stix High-Shine Gloss Stick is the latest drop, and trust—this lipstick-gloss hybrid is about to clear out space in your purse. No more juggling a lipstick and a gloss. You won’t have to worry about your gloss spilling and making a mess in your purse anymore. With the Gloss Bomb Stix, you get all the shine without the hassle—just twist, apply, and go! Your one-and-done formula delivers juicy shine, rich pigment, and all-day moisture in a sleek, twist-up stick.

Available now at Sephora and FentyBeauty.com—so yes, it’s time to add to cart.

The Formula: Hydration Meets High-Shine

If the original Gloss Bomb and your favorite lipstick had a baby, this would be it. The creamy, medium-pigment formula glides on like a dream, giving you hydration for up to eight hours thanks to shea butter and vitamin E. It’s got the shine of a gloss, but without the sticky mess—meaning no random strands of hair getting caught in your lip color.

Gloss and Go: The Shades & Finish

With 16 shades ranging from soft nudes to deep berries and statement reds, there’s something for every skin tone and vibe. The shade range is truly inclusive, so no one’s left out—whether you’re fair, deep, or somewhere in between, there’s a Gloss Bomb Stix for you.

As a brown-skin queen, my personal favorite is Two'Lip Kiss—a soft light peach that adds the perfect hint of color and gloss without being too bold. The formula is lightweight, making it ideal for both glam moments or everyday looks.

The finish? Glossy, luminous, and effortlessly chic. Think “I just stepped out of a Fenty campaign” energy.

Final Verdict: Worth the Hype? Absolutely.

This is not just another lip launch—it’s a makeup bag upgrade. The Gloss Bomb Stix gives you the color of a lipstick, the shine of a gloss, and the comfort of a balm, all in one. Plus, the fact that you don’t have to carry two separate lip products? That’s prime purse real estate for snacks, mini perfumes, or whatever else you’ve been stuffing in there.

The only thing to keep in mind? If you’re looking for a true long-wear formula, you’ll need to reapply after eating or drinking. And if you’re a die-hard matte lip lover, the high-shine finish might take some getting used to. But if glossy, hydrated lips in one swipe sound like your thing, this one’s a no-brainer.

Bottom line? Rihanna understood the assignment. Grab yours now at Sephora and FentyBeauty.com before they sell out.
