Intro
Lip oil: The perfect mix of the best parts of lip glosses and the best parts of lip balms. It’s a beauty product used to moisten and heal lips while giving them a glossy beautifying finish.
Lip Oils are usually lighter in consistency than other lip care products like lip balms and lip glosses.
Furthermore, they are made with natural oils and vitamins for the health benefits of the lips.
I love the extremely rich lush moisturizing feel It gives the lips. Personally, I think lip oils, especially clear ones, are the best lip care products. I could have so much acne on my face or no makeup on and wouldn’t mind that as long as I have my lip oil on. It just radiates your face and glows in a beautiful light. Using lip oils makes me feel very beautiful, like a glowing girl with smooth plump lips, Hair in a sleek bun, sunscreen, groomed eyebrows, and my lip oil on, I feel like the main character.
