1.💄Lip Oil Mania

My FYP is just a sea of glossy lips now. Everyone’s swatching this thing.

The real draw? It’s not sticky. At all. A true unicorn in the land of lip glosses.

2.👄The Breakdown

It’s a $20 tinted lip oil from Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez. They claim a juicy, conditioned feel without the goop. I had to test that.

Holds a perfect bead of product—no messy drips.

Fades evenly, leaves a soft stain behind.

Sinks in, doesn’t just sit on top of your lips.

3.🌟What’s Inside

It’s packed with oils, not just fragrance. The formula actually tries to repair, not just decorate.

4.🧪The Real Test

First swipe is pure, cool slip. Like a hydrating serum for your lips. Smells like sweet vanilla frosting—almost too sweet.

After two weeks, my lips felt softer in the morning. The surprise? It didn’t make my lip lines more obvious like some glosses do.

💡

One Thing: Apply to the center of your bottom lip and press together. Avoids that heavy, over-applied look.

5.💋Who It’s For

My lips were less flaky. The color ‘Hope’ gave a perfect my-lips-but-better tint. It’s not a plumping gloss, though. Don’t expect that.
