7 Gorgeous Lip Balm and Gloss Hybrids for Maximum Shine
Can you say “bloss”?
by : Mariève Inoue- Aug 3rd, 2023
Rhode
More and more hybrid beauty formulas have been popping up lately and we could not be more thrilled: who wouldn’t want to reap multiple benefits from a single product? We’ve already hopped on the lip and cheek tint bandwagon, not to mention our love of fringe-fortifying mascaras and multiuse hair products. Our latest obsession? Lip “bloss”. You’ll see: once you’ve tried these beautifully nourishing, shine-enhancing combinations of lip balm and lip gloss, it’s hard not to keep reaching for them. While some go on clear, others provide varying intensities of colour—but all of them offer superlative hydrating and nourishing benefits, as well as a shiny finish. These seven lip balm and gloss hybrids are your ticket to a softer, plumper-looking pout (and you won’t even need a mirror to apply most of them).
Peptide Lip Treatment, Rhode
It was love at first squeeze for this shea butter-infused peptide lip treatment when it first hit the Canadian market. But ever since the Vanilla Rhode flavour landed on our desks just a short while ago, we haven’t been able to keep our hands off it! We’re obsessed with its melt-on-your-lips texture, vanilla icing flavour, and light-reflecting finish sans stickiness.
Price: $24
Rouge Volupté Candy Glaze Double Care Balm, Yves Saint Laurent
We’re willing to bet you’ll experience your softest, most supple lips ever thanks to this melty, über-shiny lip gloss stick. We can’t get enough of how its rich formula—which contains vitamin E, pomegranate extract, and mango oil—wraps your lips in comfort. You’ll also adore its fruity fragrance and glowy finish.
Price: $52
The PLASMA Lip Compound, U Beauty
Newly relaunched in three universally flattering shades, as well as its original clear version, this treatment deeply hydrates your pout and provides an immediate plumping effect, while the tinted versions also leave behind a lovely wash of colour. The covet-worthy lip product also gets bonus points for its cool metal applicator.
Price: $88
Glow Paradise Lip Balm-in-Gloss, L’Oréal Paris
It may look like a traditional lip gloss at first glance, but this intensely hydrating lippie offers benefits that make it worthy of the “balm” portion of its name. Available in twelve buildable shades with a shiny finish, this non-sticky formula instantly enhances your lips.
Price: $15.50
Hyaluronic Happikiss Hydrating Lipstick Balm, Charlotte Tilbury
This coloured stick feels super comfortable on the lips thanks to its hyaluronic acid- and nourishing butter-enriched formula. It also boasts glossy pigments, providing medium coverage and tons of shine to your pout. A true mix of lipstick and lip balm, it yields just the perfect amount of colour and a nice dose of hydration.
Price: $44
Plum Plump Hyaluronic Gloss Balm, Glow Recipe
This glossy balm is the latest addition to Glow Recipe’s Plum Plump lineup. We find ourselves applying the hyaluronic acid-infused formula on its own for its moisturizing properties, as well as over our favourite lipsticks for additional shine and a juicy finish. And just look at that plum-shaped jar—it’s too cute to resist!
Price: $30
ColorGel LipBalm, Shiseido
Light and incredibly hydrating, this sleek stick was designed to combine the benefits of a lip balm with the opacity of a sheer lipstick. A pure joy to apply, it elevates your pout by providing colour, comfort, and a naturally luminous finish.
Price: $38
