How many lip products are you packing at any given time—three? Five? More than you’d care to admit? If you were to ask the beauty enthusiasts in your life which products they simply can’t live without, we’re willing to bet some variation of a lip launch would be included in their response. Whether it’s a classic balm, a high-shine gloss or a pigment-packed stain, who are we without our precious lippies?
For those of you switching up your glam as we ease into summer, there’s a slew of new lip products here to help refresh your current lip combo. From Dior’s butter-soft pout treatment to Summer Fridays’ tropical new shade, scroll on to shop the must-have lip launches of the season.
Glow Recipe’s first-ever tinted lip treatments have landed! Taking inspiration from Korea’s delicious shaved ice dessert, Bingsoo, these hyaluronic-acid infused Glass Balms are available in four sheer and flattering shades: Clear Ice Bingsoo, soft pink Watermelon Bingsoo, rosy Strawberry Bingsoo and plummy Blackberry Bingsoo. Could matching your pout with your favourite fruit be the lip trend of the summer? We think so.
Much to our dismay, parched lips are *not* exclusive to the nippy winter months. Sun exposure—especially without protection—can zap moisture, cause painful burns, and leave lips feeling raw and irritated. Drunk Elephant’s year-round solution to dry, chapped lips? This just-dropped Plump-C Tripeptide Lippe Mask. Formulated with vitamin C to improve the look of hyperpigmentation, tripeptides to support healthy collagen, and a nourishing blend of oils and butters, this leave-on treatment leaves lips feeling moisturized, smooth, and plumper-looking.
Meet Dior Addict Lip Glow Butter, the newest addition to the French maison’s iconic Addict beauty range. Launched in five essential shades from “101 Glazed Pink” to “105 Lychee,” this lustrous lip treatment finds the perfect middle ground between a mega-watt gloss and a hydrating balm. Oh, and can we talk about that Dior couture charm attached to it? Très chic.
Violette_FR’s recent debut at Sephora Canada comes just in time for Canadians to shop the brand’s latest drop, the Lip Nectar Hydrating Lip Stain. As it wears, this moisture-packed lip treat transforms from a glass-like gloss into a long-lasting stain bursting with colour. The best part? There’s no stickiness of dryness involved.
When Kylie Jenner—the lip kit guru—drops a new lip product, we take note. Fresh from her limited-edition Kylie Cosmetics Cosmic 2.0 Summer Makeup Collection, the new Supple Kiss Lip Glaze shades impart next-level shine with an ethereal, shimmery finish. Run, don’t walk.
Milk Makeup’s viral Cooling Water Jelly Tints may have first hit shelves last year, but there’s a new shade on the block to obsess over. Enter “pHreeze,” the pH-adaptive shade that instantly reacts upon skin contact, forming a unique-to-you tint in just two minutes. A custom colour that promises to stay put all day long? Sign us up.
From guava-scented fragrances to punchy guava-tinted blushes, this tropical fruit is having a major moment in beauty. Summer Fridays is riding the trend wave with the launch of its beloved Lip Butter Balm in a new “Guava” hue. A sheer pop of pink with the slightest tinge of red, this juicy shade screams summer.
Made exclusively in Canada from plant-based wax, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, Omy Laboratoires just unveiled a limited-edition trio of Lip Drink Lip Relief Balms we think you’ll love. Whether you’re feeling sweet “Affogato,” refreshing “Lemonade,” or creamy “Matcha-Coco,” there’s a thirst-quenching flavour for everyone.
