Hailey Bieber’s Rhode dropped a $60 lip trio and my DMs exploded. So I bought it — with my own money, no PR box.
Everyone’s obsessed with the names. I’m obsessed that one shade smells exactly like a melted Jolly Rancher. No one talks about that.
It’s three lip tints in a “Barrier Butter” formula — $60 for the set, $22 each if you buy solo. The claim: lips so hydrated they look like you just had a glass of water.
Salty Tan
A warm brown that somehow makes my pale lips look like I went on vacation. Magic trick.
Toast
A nude beige. On me it’s a “my lips but dead” shade — great for no-makeup days, bad if you want life.
Ribbon
Sheer red with a blue undertone. Makes teeth look whiter in 2 seconds flat.

Shea butter and peptides — yes, your standard lip plumping squad. But the real MVP is the cupuaçu butter, which is basically Amazonian magic for dry cracks.
- Shea Butter: Locks moisture in without feeling greasy
- Peptides: Fake a plumper look over time
- Cupuaçu Butter: Heals angry lip cracks overnight
- Jojoba Oil: Absorbs in 30 seconds, not 10 minutes

First swipe — velvety. Not sticky, not oily. Like spreading warm butter on toast. Sinks in before you blink.
Week 2: Surprise — Ribbon stains my coffee cup but not my lips. The color fades evenly, not in patches. That’s rare for a tint.
After two weeks, my lip lines softened about 30%. The chapped corner I’ve had since winter? Gone. But don’t expect plumping — no tingling, no swelling.
Two of three shades are keepers. The formula’s legit — Rhode didn’t phone it in. But don’t buy the set unless you actually wear all three.
