You've likely seen a plethora of rave reviews of the Dior Lip Oil on Twitter or TikTok. The fan-favorite product has reached near icon status, and for good reason—it is that good. But getting your hands on one these days feels more like entering the Hunger Games than a basic shopping experience. Yes, you can stick to a simple lip balm or a gloss, or you can expand your horizons by incorporating this happy hybrid into your beauty routine.
"Lip oil is a great way to hydrate dry lips all year round. It also serves as a great high shine over lipstick or alone. The jojoba and rosehip usually contained in lip oils give the lips a moisturized and supple finish and feel," Marsha Page, professional makeup artist and founder behind The Melanin Therapist, tells ELLE.com. Lip oil provides moisture and shine without the stickiness of a lip gloss. Meanwhile, "lip balms are typically wax-based and tend to sit on the lip and offer only temporary hydration," she adds.
