Lip oil, gloss and plumper dupes
Luxury lip oils and glosses are mostly polybutene, esters and a little plant oil, which is why the drugstore versions land so close: Charlotte Tilbury's Collagen Lip Bath and Maybelline's Lifter Gloss share five base ingredients. What changes is the extra, Dior's cherry oil, Charlotte Tilbury's cooling peppermint, Too Faced's benzyl nicotinate, and the size of the tube, so each comparison names both.
What are the best dupes for Dior Lip Glow Oil, Fenty Gloss Bomb and other luxury lip products?
e.l.f. Cosmetics Glow Reviver Lip Oil – Pink Quartz, about $9, against the $42 Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil — 79% less. Same sheer, high-shine tinted oil worn alone or over lipstick, on a base of apricot, avocado, jojoba and pomegranate oils. It has a minty scent and cooling tingle Dior's cherry-oil formula does not, and the colour stays as it goes on rather than shifting with lip chemistry. About $9 against $40.
