There's plenty of hype around lip oils recently and they are glossy heroes that work to care for and hydrate your lips all day whilst giving good glaze. I'm constantly seeing Dior's lip oils on my feed, they retail at a whopping £30-£34 though, which is a bit steep for a lip product!
There are a lot of drugstore and mid range dupes on the market, most of which have the same ingredients and formula as Dior's version.
NYX Cosmetics Fat Oil Lip Drip's applicator's shape, is identical to Dior's applicator, which is one of the things that makes it a convincing dupe for the higher end product. I'm totally in love with Fat Oil's non-sticky, lightweight texture and formula enriched with caring ingredients. The shades range from clear, to brown toned nude, to pink, plum and deep tones too, so there is a Fat Oil Lip Drip for every lip colour preference. An amplified high gloss look is delivered plus the ultimate moisture surge for lips. I can see why Fat Oil Lip Drip is TikTok viral and I'm also in love with the neon, pop-culture inspired packaging!

There are a plethora of glosses, balms and lip oils that claim to plump up the pout, and the ones that actually yield a result, are the ones you feel a slight tingle with, the ones you can genuinely feel are delivering on their promise. Many of Essence's products are under £5, and are available at many locations across Europe and at Wilko in the UK. Essence's What The Fake! Lip Plumper comes in a sheer shimmer, a nude pinky hue and a watermelon pinky red shade and all of them deliver on the fuller looking pout promise with 97% of users saying they saw a plumper, smoother result after first use, 90% of people said their lips felt much softer and 88% hailed it as a miracle, plumping gloss. What The Fake has a similar effect and similar results to Too Faced original Lip Injection Gloss which is pricier. -

Avene are one of the maestros of French skincare and one of the brands that have harnessed the healing powers of eau thermale - Thermal Water in products suitable for the whole family's skin needs. Cicalfate, the name could be a nod to the skincare powerhouse Cica, that is a tiger grass derivative that heals sensitivity, redness and irritation in hours, has been hailed as a multi-tasking superhero that is capable of healing sensitive areas in hours. Cicalfate has been compared to La Mer which is £100+ a pot, but Cicalfate is £7 and has the same, if not more benefits. Cicalfate can be used for chapped hands, chapped lips / peri-oral area, for dry elbows and knees, on breakouts of acne or eczema and for babies / young children with the nappy area / nappy rash, it's like 8 Hour Cream, only more family focused. -

Glow Recipe are growing cult, especially their pearlescent, light bulb shape bottled Watermelon Niacinamide Dew Drops - a serum that only relies on two natural ingredients to deliver on that glass skin healthy glow whilst any areas of unevenness or dullness are balanced out.
