My makeup style has evolved over the past few years. While I love wearing a matte lipstick in a bold colour, I’ve gravitated toward tinted lip balms in recent years. I save time on application, I don’t have to worry about eating or drinking whatever I want without making a mess, and I can reapply without a mirror. My lips are well-hydrated 24/7 and thank me for it! Here are my 3 favourite lip essentials that I wear every day on a rotating basis.

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey

A tinted lip balm that has become iconic, and for good reason! Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey has become wildly popular with a new generation in recent years. Launched in the 1970s, this sheer lipstick is a universally flattering shade that still appeals to women worldwide. The proof? Seven Black Honey lipsticks are sold every minute worldwide!

We love it for its hydrating, sheer side, its flattering shade, and above all, its buildable colour, depending on the desired intensity. I love wearing it because it goes with absolutely everything. It enhances discreet makeup and is the perfect finishing touch for a beautiful evening look.

Lise Watier Love My Lips Caring Lip Oil in Framboise

Usually, I am reluctant towards lip oils, because I do not like the greasy feeling that they often have. Lise Watier Love my lips caring lip oil is something else! The silky formula is non-sticky, and non-greasy and is specifically designed to hydrate the lips. Infused with hyaluronic acid and tsubaki oil, it plumps the lips and makes them ultra-soft.

The Framboise (Raspberry) shade gives an immediate healthy glow by covering the lips with a natural fuchsia colour. As a bonus, the gourmand fruity scent is divine! This is my go-to product when I want a pretty shade on my mouth, but my lips need hydration above all else. In short, this is the kind of product that I would like to have in all the shades offered because I love it so much!

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm

I have been raving about this product to all my friends since I tested it! Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm is a real gem. It moisturizes lips, protects them from the cold and gives them a divine shine. The texture is exactly like butter: creamy, but not sticky. This product can also be used as a night mask for divinely soft lips when you wake up.

 

Are you hesitant about the wide choice of colours? The Vanilla shade is a safe bet, which is magnificent on its own and will match your favourite lipstick for special occasions. The names of the shades are also representative of the scents: we love it!

Why apply a banal balm when you can enhance your lips with a divine tinted butter? Try it and you’ll love it!
