10 lip balms you won’t want to part with

One of the important criteria when choosing a lip balm is that it should be beautiful, in case Vogue suddenly invites you to the “What’s in my bag” section or you need to take a completely unstaged photo in front of the mirror. Especially for this, we have collected beautiful and photogenic glosses and balms that you will always want to carry with you.

The Khadra brand, twin brothers Simi and Hayes, who managed to make the whole world fall in love with itself in its three years of existence, has finally appeared in Russia. And of course, we decided to start testing with the most shared* lip balm on Instagram. First of all, packaging. The feeling that you are holding something from the Dune universe in your hands – the product looks very impressive and alien. Second, the product itself. We had a balm in the shade Clear – completely white. But it looks transparent and shiny on the lips.

Skinjestique balm, in the same packaging as Gucci’s, is an ideal option for luxury lovers. The packaging is heavy and gives a warm feeling of nostalgia for times when luxury was heavy. The balm itself moisturizes, nourishes and gives the lips a delicate shine.

The Dear Dahlia brand has nice cosmetics in general, but since we are talking about balms… The balm moisturizes well and can be used not only for lip skin, but also for other dry areas of the skin. Therefore, we can consider this medicine as a panacea in beautiful packaging.

The election would not exist without this brilliance. It looks very luxurious thanks to the liquid crystals. It is a technology that allows you to moisturize the skin of your lips, making them moist and full. Another feature of the gloss is its coating, which shimmers in the sun with all the colors of the rainbow.

No less trendy than Rhode, Clarins’ plum gloss (number 25) has been going viral for a few months now. This is because the product not only looks beautiful but also creates dewy highlights with a subtle shimmer on the lips. It also has a super handy applicator that makes it easy to apply makeup on the go, even without a mirror.

Latte Beauty Balm reminds us of a product from the 2000s. It has a plump, soft packaging and a bright, colorful surface. And it is quite pigmented. There are many bright colors in the palette but our favorite is the first color called Macaron. Beige, almost nude, but looks natural on the lips and visually enlarges them.

Every time you take the gray RBG balm out of your bag, you will definitely be asked what it is. Moreover, it is even more popular among men. So much so that they are ready to try it out of curiosity. Luckily, unlike the black RBG lip balm, the gray one is completely transparent on the lips, so it’s perfect even for men.

Lucas Papaw balm not only looks stylish but also works like a lifesaver; It can revitalize chapped lips overnight or soften other dry areas of the skin. Thanks to its ability, it has long become a product that we take with us on every trip, and this balm saves not only us but everyone around us every time.

When we were kids, we loved lipsticks with different fruit scents. We couldn’t stop ourselves from tasting them. It seems that childhood has passed, but the desire has not disappeared anywhere – when we see a lip balm called “Sweet Apple”, we still want to try it. The scent of the glitter is amazing and the packaging design is naive and childish.

Let’s start with the fact that the balm formula contains muru-muru oil, which is the sweetest ingredient we’ve ever encountered. Unfortunately, it has nothing in common with cats. This oil is obtained from the fruit of the Brazilian palm Astrocaryum murumuru, hence its name. And they love it because it moisturizes and nourishes the skin. The balm itself is ultra-minimalist and suitable for those who always wear all black.
