We all have that one makeup product (or a few) we’d happily hoard in case of an unexpected discontinuation. For Gabrielle Union, that must-have is none other than Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer ($22), a longtime bestseller.
The 52-year-old actress revealed her obsession in a recent Vogue Beauty Secrets video, where she walked viewers through her 13-minute beauty routine. While she shared plenty of skin care and makeup favorites, her enthusiasm for the lip gloss was unmatched.
“This is a Fenty classic,” she raved about ten minutes into the video. “I literally have 51,100 of these, in every purse, in every drawer.” And apparently, she’s not the only fan in her household—her daughter, Kaavia James, has a habit of stealing them. (She’s “taken several,” said Union.)
“They’re glossy, they’re luscious,” she continued. “I still want more lip glosses, so I’m not going to be the friend that’s like ‘Ri, where’s the album?’ I’m not asking [because] I’m like, ‘More please.’”
Union isn’t exaggerating when she calls Gloss Bomb a Fenty classic. The formula made its debut in Fenty Beauty’s 2017 launch and has since become one of the brand’s most beloved bestsellers. Available in 11 shades, it’s widely praised for its non-sticky texture, long-lasting finish and unbeatable shine. On Sephora’s website alone, it has a nearly perfect five-star rating among its 13,500 reviewers and is labeled as a “Community Favorite,” meaning it’s “among the most talked-about products by Beauty Insider Community members,” per the retailer.
