Lip Oils have exploded across the beauty scene and not only do they come in from the high end brands, but also from those on the high street and today, I am sharing two from Avon.
Lip Oils are often used as an alternative to lip balm and are designed to moisturise and nourish the lips. It typically contains a combination of oils, such as coconut oil, jojoba oil, or argan oil, to help hydrate and soften the lips while providing a glossy finish.
Avon offers two lips oils in the Avon True Nourishing Lip Oils priced at just £7 each (currently on offer for £5) and they are Blossom and Shimmering Petal. I really love the packaging, the clear see through tubes with copper lids clearly showing the shade of each lip oil as well as the doe foot applicator, shaped to make the addition to your lips easy.
Starting with Blossom which is a bright, vivid pink but when applied to the lips, as it is an oil, it just adds a sheer pop of colour making it perfect for use on its own or over your favourite lipstick.
The formula of the lip oil is one that feels more like a gel than an oil, though it is neither greasy or tacky. In order to take care of you lips, the oil uses the likes of jojoba, avocado and coconut oil as well as vitamin E. I really like using this lip oil and it’s perfect for every day use.
The second lip oil is Shimmering Petal and it is a much lighter shade of pink but within the formula, you can see tiny flecks of silver glitter running through it.
Again the formula is exactly the same as Blossom with the inclusion of jojoba, avocado and coconut oil and vitamin E and as before, on the lips that same gel like texture which isn’t sticky or tacky and despite the flecks of silver, it is delightful to wear either on its own or over a lipstick, with the flecks offering a bit of sparkle.
Both Lip Oils also offer SPF12 making them even better for your lips. On offer for just £5 they absolutely should be purchased and tried, it’s a great way to find out whether a lip oil is for you or not.
