I have seen Dior's rosewood shouted out a few times on this list now. @heartsmyface it must be a nice one.💕

Do the Dior oils leave any tint behind?

[heartsmyface]

@CynthieLu they do but it’s subtle.  You get a hint of colour that makes your natural lip shade look brighter while altering its tone a bit if that makes sense.  the Cherry for example, you can see your own lip shade but it’s stained more pink. 

[CynthieLu]

Thank you for that 🙏 @heartsmyface  I think I'm going to end up swatching the coral shade in store in store one of these days. That's the one that draws my eye the most. 💫😉

Lip oil! I love the Clarins. Clarins Lip Comfort Hydrating Oil Raspberry 

[ather]

@VBANE  Great pick! 

[CynthieLu]

I bet that is a great oil @VBANE. Do they give you a nice color pay off? 

[VBANE]

@CynthieLu I love the color, it gives a natural pink glossy finish. It helps even out the color of my lips too! 😍

[Georgiiiaaa]

[ellabwe]

i personally think the lip oil! 

[furbie]

I'm loving the March Madness brackets!!! 💛 

I'm going with tinted lip balm for the WIN! As someone who has bouts of dry skin, lip oils don't nourish as well as the balms. To me, the oils just feel like... I have oil on my lips. Lol. Also, I feel that the color payoff is greater with tinted lip balms.

I love Dior Dior Addict Lip Glow and of course the Innisfreeeeee!!
