Just a few lip products
I hope everyone had a great weekend! Have you finished all your Christmas/holiday shopping? For the first time in years, I finished early! And I mean VERY early.. it feels weird!
I’ve been wanting to make a blog post about these lip products for a while, and I thought, why not tonight! I actually shot a YouTube video on this earlier today, and had planned to make it a YouTube Short – but it turns out I actually had a lot to say, and it ended up becoming a full YouTube video, shot vertically. Oops. (yes, it hurts my soul.)I
First, let’s cover the basics..
Aquaphor will forever be my go-to for legit lip care. I personally prefer the bigger tube to the actual small lip product. A close second is the Vaseline Lip Therapy – very moisturizing and long-lasting.
Now onto the colors..
I bought the Nars Afterglow Lip Balm set during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and it has become my top favorite! It is VERY moisturizing and long-lasting. I love that I can put it on anytime and will get a subtle hint of color. I’ve now started to carry one of these in my purse instead of that big tube of Aquaphor.
I also got a Dior Glow set during the NSale, which is no longer available anywhere (unfortunately). It includes a lip balm, a lip maximize serum, and a gloss. The lip balm is not as moisturizing as the Nars lip balm, but still does the job for dry lips. I would say it’s not very long-lasting though. Even with that, it’s still one I enjoy using.
The Dior Glow Lip Oil wasn’t included in the set, so I recently bought it to try it out – and I have to say, I’m not in love with it. I wouldn’t rate this as high as the Nars lip balms, but it’s still a nice option to have in your purse/collection (which sometimes you could have a collection in your purse, right?). The consistency of this lip oil is similar to a gloss, but not as sticky. It’s moisturizing, but not as long-lasting as other lip oils I’ve tried. I do want to mention that the application brush is the most luxurious lip brush I have ever used.
A good lip oil that I really love comes from Soap & Glory. I would say this lasts longer than the Dior Glow Lip Oil, and is a lot thinner of a lip oil. I have it in both a pink and clear color.
The next lip product is something I’ve heard SO MUCH about – Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk line. I’m talking about the lipstick, the lip balm, and the lip liner. The color is nice, but that’s it. It’s not long-lasting and it’s very drying on my lips. I really don’t get the hype with this one. I personally, prefer my lip products to be long-lasting and moisturizing.
I think the reason I was so upset with the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk lip products is because I’ve tried other lip products that actually last and don’t dry my lips out. One I really love are the lip kits from Kylie Cosmetics. I actually love a lot of the products from her line, including her eyeshadow and highlighter.
That wraps up my thoughts on these lip products. If you have any of these products, do you agree? Let me know!
