respectfully, there’s no reason for the dior lip oil when this exists. literally $5 and achieves that plumped, filler look leaving a sheer tint.
Hydrating Lip Glow Oil Tinted Rosewood 0.2 OZ
thicker consistency but super hydrating, and gives lips a slight plump. pigment is there vs most lip oils and layers really well over lip liner. pretty much keep this in my bag always.
Chillin Like a Villian Fat Oil Lip Drip Vegan Lip Oil | Ulta Beauty
i love her. so many shades that are flattering and actually show up on two-toned lips. leaves a good shine and keeps your lips soft. it’s like a hybrid oil/gloss. for the price, honestly such a steal. another fav that i tend to keep on me for on to g...
glossy, hydrating, and super lightweight. doesn’t feel sticky. gives a natural look, i personally like to layer it over a lip combo for the extra shine. for the price, this is a great oil for on-the-go touch ups.
Revolution Beauty - Watermelon Pink Pout Lip Oil
right at the $10 mark and worth it. lives up to the name. smooth and gives your lips a glazed, healthy look. not sticky at all and feels more like a lip balm in oil form. layers well if you already have a combo on.
on the sheer side but literally feels more like a treatment/balm for a cheaper price. i tend to gravitate towards lip products with hyaluronic acid or some type of lip care benefit, this is a great option. gives a slight plump but without a burn.

oil in a stick sounds crazy but this is lowkey awesome. think milk’s jelly tint but you get the nourishment of a lip oil AND tint. perfect for summer light makeup. not many shade options but the fact that you can use it as blush makes it great for th...

would also compare this to the dior lip oil but which more of a hydrating, plumping aspect. you can literally use this as a lip sleep mask. good amount of product for only $13.

she’s unmatched. an icon. a NEED for melanated girlies and two-toned lips. this is a oil that moisturizes & leaves such a pigmented stain. and no, you don’t have to keep it on forever to achieve the stained look. a shade for everyone depending on...
can’t lie, it really is that good. super lightweight. runs on the sheer side but buildable and colors are actually universally flattering. as a girl who struggles with lip products drying me out, this leaves a comfortable, moisturized feeling and giv...
oil that doubles as SUCH a good lip treatment. so many good ingredients for hydration. prob the oil with the most direct lip care on list. also smells like cherry candy.
