Lip products are some of the easiest products to buy and try. They are very low risk in terms of commitment because you can remove it easily, without removing any other makeup. It's not the same as trying eyeshadow, foundation or concealer - you pretty much know if a lipstick is going to work for you based on just looking at it.
A lip product even more low risk than a lipstick or gloss is a balm... or, in 2022, a lip oil.
Lip oils have been trending for quite some time now, thanks to the minimal makeup movement and the rise of skincare. They're different than a balm because they're usually liquid vs a stick balm and they're less flashy than a gloss. Lip oils usually give a touch of color, a lot of shine and lots of good benefits, from hyaluronic acid for hydration or vitamins to nourish and heal.
Lip oils are usually very thin but pack a punch when it comes to ingredients and benefits. They are the epitome of a clean girl/that girl aesthetic and everyone is jumping on the train now. I've been a little obsessed with lip oils and have been trying a lot of different ones... these are my favorite.
