THE BEST DRUGSTORE MAKEUP 2024!! 😍

"I also fell in love with the e.l.f. lip oils. These are pretty much a spot-on dupe for the Dior lip oils. They're really, really nice. They smell the exact same. They come in a really beautiful shade range. One of my favorite colors is this one right here, called Honey Talks. It's a really beautiful kind of brown color, so good."

"No, it's actually so so good. It has a slight kind of mint feel to it which is very similar to the Dior lip oil. I just think it looks so good. [...] I love how cushiony it feels on the lips. It's just so cute. From the drugstore I have nothing bad to say about it. It's so good."

We Need to Talk About e.l.f. (& try their new makeup)

"No, these are [...] really nice. No wonder they've gone viral. It's kind of funny how the dupes go viral initially because they're dupes and then I feel like they stick around because they're actually a really good product like a standalone product. [...] I really like how this feels and I've tried a lot of lip products, that is nice. I kind of see what all the hype is about. I see why that was viral on its own honestly."

"The e.l.f. Glow Reviver Lip Oil definitely feels better because of the way the applicator applied it. [...] The applicator is really good, and I've got to go with the e.l.f. this round."

"In the shade Red Delicious, which is obviously a red, and it is very very sheer. [...] It has a slightly minty flavor just in the beginning but no strong tingling or plumping, which I really can't be bothered with, I don't like that. There are 10 different shades available but I don't think I will get another one because they will probably all look the same on my lips, but enjoy this one especially for the more oily, more nourishing part."

"Glow Reviver Lip Oil. [...] I feel like they've launched so many incredible products over the past year. They are just on fire. So I thought this lip oil was going to be absolutely incredible, but it just wasn't amazing for me. It didn't last a super long time, it wasn't super conditioning. I don't know, it just definitely fell flat, and given everything e.l.f. has been able to create, I had much higher expectations for this product."

I Tried The Top 42 Lip Oils... Lip Oil Showdown!

"Shine is moderate to high depending on buildup and looks really good [...] with the sheer tint, but it's below average to average for lasting power and [...] probably below average for moisturizing because of the burning. As a gloss it's very cute and I understand why people love it, but it's definitely not the most moisturizing lip oil in this video."

"Wear is average, it goes a little gummy on my lips and isn't long wearing. The glitter itself is cute, I'm not super impressed with the formula in the way that I am with my absolute favorite lip oils, but for makeup purposes it's cute."

What's Going On At The Drugstore?! New Drugstore Skincare + Makeup!

"I picked up honey talks and red delicious, [...] these are thicker than the Milani lip oils upon initial application, with [...] that same nice gel quality, but a bit thicker, cushier, and glossier. [...] The thing I don't love about these is that they smell and taste like [...] pretty potent mint, [...] paired with a tingly feel and a bit of a dry sensation on my lips afterward. They don't last longer than an hour on my lips. [...] I was not as impressed with these as I was expecting to be."

"I love the formula of their lip oils already. If you haven't tried them, they're a bargain. Try one of the nude ones. Like, not the clear ones because the clear ones are very similar in shade actually. I'm not a big fan of glitter, but I do like a shimmer in a lip product. They just look so beautiful. These are really nice."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
