I normally stay away from lip oils, as I prefer a balm texture. However, this is like an oil, balm, and gloss all-in-one. My lips feel instantly hydrated and nourished - for a long time too! It is a little sticky like a gloss but not enough that your lips stick together or you get everything stuck to them. I do love the applicator, slightly angled which allows for precise application. My lips look hydrated, soft, and shiny. I love it!!

A glossy treatment lip oil I hear you say? Sign me up! It's hard to get a lip oil right; they can often be sticky or tacky and get hair stuck to your luscious lips with the slightest breeze. Not with LYS! This is beautifully soothing, nourishing and glossy but without a hint of stick to your lips.I was really surprised at just how well this stayed on and how much this helped my dry, chapped lips (thanks to a reaction to a new toothpaste). I can still feel it on hours later, and the nourishing oil blend really conditions the lips. It just gives you that little pick me up and a natural, glossy lip that is perfect for every day. I find the applicator a little bit long, if I'm being really picky, but I think it also offers a more precise application if you're wanting to apply this over a lipstick so that would probably work really well for others!

I need to say, first things first, the packaging is great for a lip oil. It sounds straight forward but I find most lip oil products are easy leakage.. this one, however, that little plastic bit in the middle of the lid is revolutionary! It applies so nicely, keeps my lips nourished throughout the day but without the tacky, sticky feeling of an original oil. It's handbag friendly and just a great all-rounder!
