Remember when you were a teenager and everything was about lip gloss? And then suddenly, that urge dropped off a cliff.
Well, now gloss is back in full swing. Over the last couple of years, shimmer and sheen has had a major revival.
Call it the year of whimsy, or the nostalgia economy, but we’re suddenly craving packing our lips with a thick sheen of gloss whenever we leave the house.
But, as you’ll remember from the ones you got with a magazine, not all glosses are created equal.
In fact, now we’ve levelled up into a world where there are oils, glosses, tints, and so many other ways to make your lips look better than a glazed doughnut.
And one of the brands leading the way is e.l.f. In a throwback to our youths, the brand has just released new colourways to its Glow Reviver collection, and what can we say? It’s revived our love of scented, shimmery lip products.
Best e.l.f. Glow Reviver products at a glance:
In five formulas, e.l.f. has everything you need to add a pop of summer colour to your lips – whether you prefer a traditional gloss formula, a stain, or something more sparkly.
Even better, everything in the collection comes in at under £15, so you won’t have to break the bank to have a taste of your youth.
If you’re chasing the glossy summer makeup routine of your youth, here are our favourite picks from its Glow Reviver collection. Trust us; you won’t want to go without it this summer.
For the glossiest look a girl could want, this super-pigmented lip oil stick blends pops of colour with hydration. Thanks to being loaded with squalane, shea butter and jojoba oil, it’ll leave your lips plenty hydrated, while also packing your choice of its 10 shades onto your lips. Oh, and if you needed another blast from the past, it also smells like mango.
After something a little more subtle? These glossy lip balms deliver a less intense colour pop that builds up the more you apply it.
Not into the stickiness of gloss? Don’t worry, this oil packs all the same shine and moisture, but without the annoying hair tugging element of a regular gloss.
Everyone knows the perfect combo is shimmer and sheen, which is exactly what these glimmer lip oils provide for an extra y2k moment.
Sometimes you want a little more… definition. These snag-free liners will soon be your oil or gloss’ best friend as they pack a ton of pigmentation and last for hours, so you can reapply shine without worrying it’ll rub off.
Can’t choose just one colour? Build your own kit that mix and matches the glimmer shades with the regular lip oil shades, so you’ll have one for every occasion.
Ugh, there’s nothing more nostalgic than a scented lip balm. Bring out your inner child by creating a cocktail with this multi-pack of flavoured lip balms. Get creative, or head to e.l.f. for their combo recommendations.
