Here's something you definitely have to include in your lip cabinet this season! Whether you're opting for Y2K nostalgia or a fresh feminine look, these resurfaced glossy lip trends in more innovative forms: of lip oils, lip stains, and lip jellies, would never steer you wrong in your daily beauty adventures!

Sitting all across our vanity is a wide variety of lip products. It reflects the beauty trends that define cultural standards periodically, from the vibrant lip glosses of the 2000s and the matte lipsticks of 2017, to the fresh, juicy lips of 2022. Now, a new addition to the glam category brings a refreshing look that renews the global sensation of a captivating pout!

It's quite apparent that these three new types of lip products have been dropping rapidly in the market recently. Their overwhelming variety often leads us to confusion: “Why do we need so many lippies that act the same when we could only have one?” To shed light on the matter, we help you out in navigating the often confusing world of lip products!

For instance, a deep or bright and bold matte lipstick (sometimes) only fits glamorous occasions. While going to work or running an errand, enhancing natural features is preferable. On days that we don’t want to wear fully over-lined lips? It’s best to give it a rest through moisturizing products with a glossy finish and natural stains of tints.

Here’s a quick comparison between Lip Oils, Lip Stains, and Lip Jellies:

LIP OIL
If you want your lips glazed reminiscing the Y2K effect, lip oils are your lifesaver! Not only does it contain hyaluronic acid in some formulations, but it is also designed to counteract the dryness of your lips. Although some lip oils may not be formulated to last long, these renewed generations of lip glosses are so much better than the traditional ones!

LIP TINT/STAIN

Not a fan of the sticky feeling of lip gloss? No worries! Lip tints are your go-to products for maintaining your natural kissable lips. Simply apply the watery tint onto your lips and gently dab it with your fingers; the paleness will quickly transform into revitalized hues!

LIP JELLY

Now, here’s a new blend of both gloss and tint in the form of a Lip Jelly. If you’re not keen on the sticky feeling of gloss but love the pigmentation of tints, this product is a game-changer! It offers the benefits of both lip oil and tint but in a longer-lasting lightweight formula leaving a perfect stain after the shiny coat fades on your lips. Enough proof that the old generation of shiny glosses have been innovated successfully.
