"This is the new Rare Beauty Soft Pinch lip oil in the shade Fortune, it's really pretty. It actually kind of leaves a stain, so we're going to see if my oil cleanse removes it."

"This is my very first purchase of any Rare Beauty product. It's called the Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil. It comes in eight shades and it's €22, and all I can say is it's worth every freaking penny. The color I bought back in the US was Perfection, and I have no idea what color that is, I have no idea at all. When I was in Sephora a couple of days ago to finish picking up the last few items, every single tester they had on display was empty."

"This one lasts, and I'm shocked. I'm wishing I'd bought five colors, because I can't just walk into somewhere and get this in Ireland. It's not like I have a Sephora here, and I don't think they have it in Space NK either. At any rate, it is glorious. The color is fantastic, it's highly moisturizing, and it sticks around. The next time I stumble into a place that sells this, I'm going to buy more, and I'm just going to get them in different colors. It is phenomenal."

"Another fail for me in the makeup category is the Rare Beauty lip oils. I went through these during my declutter, and I decluttered all of them. They just don't last very well for me, and I really don't like the texture."

"I'm not pleased with this lip oil. I was so excited when it first came out because I was hoping it would [...] last. I bought several, and I bought them for friends, because they were really hard to find at the time, but they just don't hold up the way I thought they would. I'm definitely decluttering them. I never reach for it."

"I always have to have something on my lips because it's really dry. I was a little disappointed because this was so hyped up over the Sephora sale, and this is a little bit too drying for me, especially for a lip oil. I expect a lip oil to be a little bit more soothing and conditioning. They do have beautiful shades. They're kind of between a lip gloss and a lipstick."

"This lip oil does have a beautiful color palette, but once it dries down it just completely dehydrates my lips, so this is not going to be a repurchase for me. I think I purchased two. I'm using them up and then just putting a clear lip gloss, or even a different color lip gloss, over the top just to kind of use them up, but the Rare Beauty lip oils won't be a repurchase for me."

"I had the Rare Beauty lip oil that I was obsessing about when it came out earlier this year. [...] None of us could get them, they were just not to be found, and I've been a little bit disappointed about this. It's not as moisturizing as I had hoped, especially for a lip oil. It wears pretty well."

"This one since it's a bit deeper is definitely showing up a little bit more since it has a more intense like face color that's showing up"

What the evidence says.

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

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

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.
