Obsessed

I bought this oil on a whim as it was on sale and can I just say lip oils are under rated? My lips have never been more nourished ! Goes on like a dream and looks shiny with a hint of colour. Not oily, not greasy and my lips have stayed hydrated during these dry dry dry winter months! I love this brand. Doesn’t tasted odd or overly flavoured. Must try

Colour & Glaze sans weight & stickiness

Somewhere between the high-shine of a lip gloss, and the colour pay off of a velvet matte, and the utilitarian functionality of a lip balm, sits a largely underrated category… lip oils, also known as our answer to all of our winter dryness woes.

“Lip oils are an excellent way to add some colour to lips with a lot of hydration,” says senior make-up artist Mary Irwin. “I prefer them in winter to a lipstick, which are often wax based and protective but still drying.”

Revlon Kiss Glow Lip Oil launched last year and delivers subtle tint with a conditioning oil complex and a shine that isn’t heavy or sticky. Kiss Glow is available at Boots and lookfantastic.com in a variety of lip-coloured tints from nudes to reds, to pinks and plums.
