Lip Glow Oil

Having already tried & reviewed the Lip Reviver Balm in 'Raspberry', I wanted to give the 'Lip oil' in Raspberry a try and see how the exact same shade compares in two different formulas. Firstly, just like the Lip Reviver Balm, the color - a soft pink, is not as intense as what it appears in the tube, however when you re-apply it over the course of the day you start to get decent color payoff, as it becomes gradually more and more intense. It's also very quick & easy to apply as the doe foot applicator is huge and will cover both lips in one go, no need to dip back in. The next biggest difference is the texture, the balm is nowhere near as glossy as the oil, and I also find for that reason its lasting power is better. At most 1-2 touch ups are required when using the balm, but with the oil I can easily find myself reapplying several times throughout the day. This can start to make my lip surface feel sticky if I overdo it. Personally I prefer the balm from the two...it's a more subtle hint of color (which I prefer) and more longer lasting. The oil on the other hand is more hydrating and color payoff is much better. Both formulas have their own pros and cons, depending upon what you hope to achieve from them and otherwise come in equally glamorous packaging and cost exactly the same. -> My ‘Nordstrom Beauty Top 7 must-have list’ (My 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Nordstrom) <- < 1.

i would describe this as a gloss, not an oil. it has that sticky finish just like a regular lip gloss. i wish it had a little more color. i got the pink and it’s like almost no color at all, just the smallest hint of color. the thing i like most about it is the applicator sponge. it’s nice n wide n spongy. i should’ve gotten the darker shade.

Tbh this was a total waste of money. I purchased the “rosewood” shade and It’s literally just a basic lip oil. And it’s sticky even though it claims not to be. I’m a big fan of Dior and I highly recommend the Dior lip glow balm or the plumping gloss instead. Those combined are 10/10. They’re much better than this and worth the money. This isn’t bad, it’s just again, overhyped. Don’t let tik tok impulse buy lol.
