Floral Care Hydrating Dual Lip Oil.

"The Florasis Floral Care Hydrating Dual Lip Oil is called an essence and claims to instantly hydrate while giving mirror like shine. It has no real scent, but kind of a sweet taste after application, you're not supposed to eat it but you'll taste it when you apply it. It's a bilayer product with a thicker, yellow oily layer on top and a see through layer containing the humectants at the bottom, so you need to shake it up before use, there are metal spheres at the bottom to help with that, and you swipe it on with the doe foot applicator. It doesn't feel like I expected a lip oil to feel, more like a toner with a little more body, an essence. Once you swipe it on, it absorbs quickly and leaves the lips feeling hydrated but not greasy. I didn't find the finish to be mirror-like shine, which I actually appreciate, or even very glossy. Applied on bare lips it made them look well hydrated, on top of a matte lipstick it makes it look natural, and on top of an already shiny lip product I didn't see much of a difference. My preferred way was using it before lipstick, as it gives a smooth surface to apply to, and since it absorbs so quickly it won't affect lipstick lasting power. The humectants in the clear phase are glycerin and hyaluronic acid, and there's a variety of oils like jojoba, macadamia and coconut, so nothing outstanding there. It is the first lip oil I have tried so I can't compare it to others. It is way less oily than I expected and works beautifully both on bare lips and underneath a lipstick. The finish isn't as shiny as advertised, which I personally really like, but it makes the lips look well hydrated and glossy."
