I accidentally used this as blush at a red light. Didn’t wipe it off. Walked into dinner looking better than planned.
That’s when I realized Tower 28 didn’t make a lip gloss — they made a multi-tool in a tube. And my acne-prone skin didn’t throw a fit.
It’s a tinted lip gloss that dries down to a balmy, not sticky, finish. $16. I bought it because the shade “Coconut” looked like my lips but better.
Blush in 5 seconds
Dab two dots on cheeks, blend with finger. Looks like you ran a mile but didn’t sweat.
Eye gloss that won’t crease
One swipe on lids. No glitter. Just that wet, editorial look that photographs real.
Cuticle oil in a pinch
Rollerball? No. Just swipe the wand over dry nail beds. Absorbs in 10 seconds — no greasy keyboard.

No fragrance, no denatured alcohol, no sparkle. Just skincare-adjacent ingredients that hydrate without suffocating pores. The kind of formula that makes you forget it’s makeup.
- Jojoba Oil: Soaks in fast, doesn’t sit on top
- Shea Butter: Makes lips look plump, not greasy
- Vitamin E: Calms redness on cheeks and eyelids
- Raspberry Seed Oil: Fills in dry cuticle cracks

First swipe feels like melted butter. Not thick, not watery — that Goldilocks slick that stays put for 2 hours before you need a touch-up. No hair-stuck-in-gloss disaster.
Week 2: I used it as brow tamer. Swiped the wand over brows, brushed upward. Held them in place for 6 hours — no crunchy cast. Weird flex but it works.

My skin stayed clear. Lips didn’t peel. But if you want high-pigment color — this ain’t it. It’s a whisper, not a shout.

It’s the laziest way to look polished. Buy one, use it everywhere, and stop overcomplicating your routine.
