“Good for dry lips and for a pretty lippy. This is one of my new favourite lip oils, it's affordable and has a big applicator, it's so pretty, and the cherry taste is amazing. It's nice on dry lips or just as a pretty lip gloss and they're cruelty free, 100% I recommend.” - Zoey, Customer Review

And if your lips need a little more loving, use shade 01 Honey as an overnight moisture mask.

“Perfect for everyone. I personally have such a hard time finding the right products that will hydrate my lips (and not make them look super cakey) and that suits my skin tone. This product does both. It hydrates your lips to make them plump and then the product uses your pH to adjust the colour of your lips. Haus Labs does it again!” - Anna, Customer Review
