Oil Slick — Vanilla Whip
Lottie London Oil Slick in Vanilla Whip, Nourishing & Hydrating Lip Oil
Our editorial score, out of 10
“The most useful Oil Slick if you think of lip products as skincare first.”
At a glance
Our verdict
Vanilla Whip is the near-clear option — barely any tint, maximum shine, and the best of the bunch to wear on its own for lip care. The vanilla scent is warm and comforting rather than sickly. Because there's no pigment to worry about, it's the easiest one to reapply without a mirror. A good overnight lip treatment as well as a daytime gloss.
What stands out
- Barely any tint, maximum shine — the best of the line to wear purely as lip care rather than makeup.
- No pigment to worry about, so it's the one you can reapply without a mirror in a meeting or on a train.
- Doubles as an overnight lip treatment, which effectively makes it two products.
