5 Glossy Lip Balms That Offer High-Shine and Extreme Hydration
September 10, 2020
I’m obsessed with glossy lips but am very particular about the formulas I wear. I’m not afraid of a high-shine or opaque finish, but there’s nothing that I hate more than a sticky feel. I also don’t like when lip glosses leave your lips feeling super dry when it wears off. That’s why I gravitate towards glossy lip balms. It’s the perfect hybrid product that offers lips a hydrated, moisturized feel and glowing, shiny finish. Check out my favorite glossy lip balms, ahead.

NYX Professional Makeup #thisiseverything Lip Oil
Okay, so technically this is an oil, but once you put it on you won’t be able to tell the difference between it and a balm. That’s because it has a glossy, lightweight texture that’s super soft and is formulated with ingredients that hydrate your pout like almond rosehip and jojoba oils. Available in sheer shades of pink, berry, lavender and blue, this product is, as the name suggests, everything.
