A hydrating lip balm stick built for lips that feel dry, tight or cracked, and for anyone who wants glossy colour without reapplying every hour. It moisturises, protects and soothes in a single swipe, and the hydration holds for up to 12 hours. It suits a handbag, a bedside table or a desk drawer, and it works as well over bare lips as it does on top of a lipstick.
What the 12-hour hydration actually means
One application carries moisture through a working day, a long flight or a night out without the constant re-swipe a thinner balm demands. That makes this hydrating lip balm stick useful for people who are tired of digging a tin out of a bag every hour. The finish is glossy rather than matte, so lips look conditioned rather than simply coated.
Will it work under or over other lip colour?
Yes. Wear it alone for a sheer glossy tint, or sweep it over a matte lipstick to soften the finish and add shine. Because it moisturises as it sits, it is also a practical layer before bed, when dry lips have hours of uninterrupted time to recover.
How much product is in one stick?
Each unit holds 3.4 g of balm in a twist-up stick, which is enough for months of daily use. One stick is a single unit, so a second one for a bag or a coat pocket is worth considering if you use balm more than once a day.
How to get the best from your hydrating lip balm stick
- Sweep directly from the stick for a full glossy layer, or tap it on with a fingertip for a lighter tint.
- Apply before lipstick as a smoothing base, or after as a shine top-up.
- Reapply after eating, drinking or swimming, when any balm is removed.
- Twist only a small amount above the tube so the stick does not snap.
How to store it
Keep the stick out of direct sun and away from hot cars. Balm softens as it warms, and a softened stick is easy to press too far up the tube. Once opened, use it within 18 months.
Who it suits
Anyone dealing with dry, chapped or weather-beaten lips, and anyone who wants a glossy finish that also does the job of a treatment. If you prefer a completely matte finish or a strong opaque colour, a standard lipstick will serve you better; this balm is about moisture and shine, with colour as a bonus.
