@TeamBIC  Lip oil.  I’m not a fan of cream blush unless I’m wearing minimal makeup so it tends to be a product I have to make a point of using.  plus a good lip oil can be used as a cream blush.  HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Mini PhD Hybrid Hydrating Tinted Lip Oil Tint

Lip Oil!!! My favorite is Too Faced Kissing Jelly Lip Oil! Especially the watermelon scent 🍉 Too Faced Kissing Jelly Non-Sticky Lip Oil Gloss Sour Watermelon @toofaced 

[xorhea]

hardest one yet because i’m obsessed with both BUT i have to say lip oil because a cream blush needs its powder blush counterpart!!

[KileyRhys]

Definitely as a cream blush elf halo glow blush idk if saie counts but I LOVE IT and for lip oil definitely summer Fridays!!!!

[sunkist123]

Lip oils!!!!! MERIT Shade Slick Gelée Sheer Tinted Lip Oil My favvv

[Cissy63]

This is tough.  I enjoy lip oils but they don’t last very long and they don’t leave any stain behind.  So no lip color.  I’m going for team cream blush and I like Tower 28 Beauty BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Dewy Cream Blush . It gives a soft natural flush and a little glow.

[CynthieLu]

Beautiful blush choice @Cissy63 😍 

[Sandyslb]

Lip oil! Lips always need hydrating and lip oil does the job!

[Charmaine75]

100% Lip Oil!  I find cream blush is too pigmented for my super fair skin so it's hard to use.  Lip ls though - WOW!  They do great things for my almost 50 year old lips!  I love how moisturizing they are while adding a perfect hint of colour.

[Jacquelineannee]

I definitely think cream blush. 

[CynthieLu]

🥳🥳 Agreed! @Jacquelineannee 

[johannaleah24]

Cream blush, hands down? I think every cream blush has been a hit for me 🥰🥰.

Unfortunately, not every lip oil has been moisturizing.

I love both ROSE INC Cream Blush Refillable Cheek & Lip Color Delphine  and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Liquid Blush Worth ❤️

[CynthieLu]

I think the battle is decided tommorow @Buootiful 

I'm kinda on the edge of my seat here. Cream blush has to win right?? 😅🤩

[Loretta55]

I do agree with your statement that not all lip oils are moisturizing @Buootiful.
