Baume à lèvres Phyto-Glow Crimson

I’ve been through half a dozen balms this winter and this is the first one that actually feels like it’s sinking in instead of sitting on top. The shea and squalane combo leaves my lips cushiony for hours, even after coffee. Color is a nice sheer crimson too.

The cupuaçu butter really does the heavy lifting here—my lips have been peeling all winter and this smoothed them out in two days. It cushions without feeling greasy, and the silky finish lasts through a coffee and a long meeting.

I’ve had cracked lips all winter, but this balm with cupuaçu butter and squalane actually cushions them for hours, not just twenty minutes. The texture is rich yet sinks in without any greasy film, and my lips feel genuinely silky, softer than any other balm I’ve tried.
