Fat Oil Lip Drip Lip Gloss| NYX Professional Makeup
Ā
listen, we are not doing dry lips to 2025. Before you put any product on, you need to be hydrating your lips with some type of ointment. I love Aquaphor or even Vaseline. try this before your lip product and see how smoother the application is
Aquaphor
Ā
Love her down, but go ahead and get you a pencil sharpener. I used this product instead of the elf lip liner because it just doesnāt last as long. I love the espresso, pigment shade, and itās quite affordable.
