In great news for anyone who loves to carry approximately 79 lip products on them at any given time: Go-To lip range has expanded three fold! You’re now spoiled for choice.
Three lip products. Two lip oils. One balm. Each magnificent in their own right.
Stumped on which one to pick or when to use what. You've come to the right place.
What is lip oil?
Lip oil is primarily formulated with fatty acids and antioxidant-rich oils to soothe dryness and protect against it and give your lips a juicy glow.
It’s a bit of makeup, skincare hybrid—combining intense, nourishing hydration with a glossy sheen.
We have two lip oils to choose from:
Lip Hero is our intensely hydrating lip oil powered by a heroic blend of botanical oils, antioxidants, and fatty acids to help seal in moisture and condition your lips.
Lip Glaze is a luscious, juicy gloss with the added bonus of sun protection. Broad Spectrum SPF 30 helps guard your lips from damaging UVA/UVB rays while conditioning oils seal in moisturise with a glazed glow. This one’s been designed for lips on the go, combining high shine with high sun protection.
What is lip balm?
For our non-lip care addicts, oils and balms can feel like much of a muchness—we get it. But the main difference comes down to how each feels, behaves, and looks.
Feels: Lip balms tend to include some sort of wax to provide its thick, balmy texture. Lip oil is lighter in texture, with an oily (note: not greasy) feel.
Behaves: Lip balms and their thicker texture sits on the surface of the lips to provide a protective shield. Lip oils deeply penetrate the lips for long-lasting hydration.
Looks: Lip balms leave your lips looking soothed and a tad glowy (sometimes even tinted), whereas lip oils offer more of a gloss (and also sometimes even tint). A lip oil’s texture gives lips a supple, soft look of juiciness (aka that your lips-but-whoa effect.)
Very Luxe Lips levels up your typical pot of lip balm. The peptide-powered lip plumper delivers the comfort of a balm, with the performance of a treatment. It has a rich waxy texture that provides a cushioning, high-shine protective film on your lips to lock in moisture for intense, long-lasting hydration.
Instead of a high-shine finish, this one adds a subtle sheen while hardworking ingredients (like peptides and pomegranate extract) helps lips appear plumper, smoother and more supple.
Which one should I use?
Dealer’s choice!
When it comes to lip oil versus lip balm, it really is just a matter of personal preference. Each of our lip products offer an immediate hit of hydration to soothe cranky, chapped lips—just in different ways.
But as a general rule: Save Glaze for during the day to make the most out of its SPF 30.
