@AlmostEowyn  It’s just so yummy right!

[furbie]

Yes! I've been wanting to try Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm for Hydration & Shine Poppy - sheer citrus coral for some time now. I've heard such raving reviews about the line. Everyone that I know who has tried it loved it @AlmostEowyn. During the holiday season, there was a set of 4-5 on sale.

@furbie  Pink sugar is my fav! 

[faeriegirl]

Pink sugar is definitely my favorite too @ather !

[ather]

@faeriegirl  Have you tried birthday cake yet?

[faeriegirl]

@ather  I haven’t tried it yet. I’ll probably grab it during the sale.

[ather]

@faeriegirl  It’s like pink sugar but with shimmer! 

[sister13]

I’m going with Lip Oil, my favorites are the Ami Colé Hydrating Lip Treatment Oil Reflection and the HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA PhD Hybrid Hydrating Tinted Lip Oil , they are so good! @TeamBIC 

[heartsmyface]

@sister13  Ouhh I just transferred my lip products to a new home and found and tried that Ami Colé!  It feels so good on! 

[sister13]

It's SO GOOD! @heartsmyface 

[ather]

@sister13  Ami Cole is the best!!! 

[sister13]

Yes!!!! @ather 

[Shosh85]

Lip oil!!  
A couple I've been using recently are; Kosas Wet Lip Oil Plumping Peptide Lip Treatment Gloss Bare and iNNBEAUTY PROJECT Glaze Lip Oil Frose  

[heartsmyface]

@Shosh85  I love both of these!!!! 

[Shosh85]

@heartsmyface  Glad to hear it! The Innbeauty one is super delicious 😋

[ather]

@Shosh85  I forgot about the Kosas lip oil! It’s so good! 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi introduced me to them, and I'm so happy she did! @ather  😃

[sassytheballer]

Lip gloss/balm! I like LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm Berry and Tower 28 Beauty ShineOn Lip Jelly Hydrating Non-Sticky Lip Oil Coconut!

I have never really tried a good lip oil though. 

[PrettyPaint]

I'm going to have to go with lip oil. DIOR Lip Glow Oil iNNBEAUTY PROJECT Glaze Lip Oil Mystery 

[heartsmyface]

@TeamBIC  Lip oil hands down!  I swear it works better than lip masks for hydrating dry lips.   I have a couple I really like right now. My favorite is DIOR Lip Glow Oil Rosewood but I like all the shades of the dior lip oils.  Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil Stain Honesty is my second favorite!  The tints are better in the Rare lip oils but the Dior ones are thicker and plumping.  It’s hard to choose.

@heartsmyface  Those are great picks!
