As someone who loves exploring budget-friendly beauty finds, I was curious to see how Sona and Rhode lip glosses from Dollarama stack up against each other. What surprised me was that while Rhode has a mocha scent and Sona smells like espresso, the hydration and application feel quite similar. I used a brown eyeliner to test how these glosses hold makeup and enhance color, and both gave a subtle, beautiful shine without feeling sticky. If you’re on the hunt for lip glosses that won’t break the bank but still offer quality, I highly recommend giving these two a try. My personal favorite leans slightly towards Sona because of the scent and how effortlessly it glides on. Plus, finding these gems at Dollarama makes it even sweeter! To get the best experience, consider layering a lip liner underneath, like Makeup Forever’s Limitless Brown which I tried during my test. This not only boosts the intensity of your lip color but also helps the gloss last longer. Whether you’re team Sona or Rhode, both are worth a shot for anyone who loves affordable beauty picks that deliver on both style and function.
