“The Oil Slick line is where this brand quietly excels, and this is the shade most people should start with.”
At a glance
Our verdict
The Oil Slick range is where this brand quietly excels — a lip oil that's actually hydrating rather than a gloss wearing an oil costume. Watermelon Sugar leaves a sheer pink tint and a juicy, non-sticky shine that survives a coffee. The doe-foot applicator holds enough product for both lips in one dip. Layer it over a lip liner at night to soften a matte edge.
What stands out
- Actually hydrating rather than a gloss wearing an oil costume — the base does real work on dry and flaking lips.
- Non-sticky, which is the single thing that separates a lip oil you'll finish from one you'll abandon.
- The doe-foot holds enough for both lips in one dip, so you're not double-dipping and dragging the applicator.

The bottom line
