Benefits of Lip Oil

Lip oil treats, smooths, hydrates and nourishes your lips… Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir is enriched with potent ingredients including Sqisandryl™ for smoothness and definition, Swertian Leaf Extract to help reduce the appearance of vertical lip lines and Alpine Rose to create a barrier on your lips against dehydration.

Meanwhile, its Plant Adaptogen Extracts, First Light Snow Lotus and Resurrection Leaf help your lips to LOCK IN MOISTURE, while the MAGIC ingredient hyaluronic acid adds a veil of hydration for a GORGEOUS, GLOSSY finish.

How To Apply Lip Oil

Lip oil is a truly versatile product to be worn alone or layered with your favourite lip products! Here are three MAGIC METHODS for applying Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir:

MAGIC METHOD 1: Apply to bare lips for a healthy and glossy shine.

MAGIC METHOD 2: Apply on top of lipstick to add a sheer gloss finish to your lips.

MAGIC METHOD 3: Apply before bedtime as an ultra-nourishing overnight lip conditioner.

Lip Oil vs Lip Balm

Lip balms are known for their moisturising qualities. Most lip balms have a waxy base, making them a lot thicker in consistency compared to lip oils. They’ll leave you with a hydrated and natural lip look.

But for long-lasting moisture, lip oils are the way to go. Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir can be applied throughout the day whenever you need a dose of moisture and a high-shine finish. And thanks to its ultra-hydrating and moisturising properties, you’ll enjoy its benefits for up to 24 hours!

Lip Oil vs Lip Gloss

The differences between lip oil and lip gloss are a lot more obvious. Lip gloss is a makeup product, while lip oil falls under the lip care category. Lip gloss can give your lips a super-glossy look with a touch of colour but it won’t provide your lips with as much moisture and nourishment that lip oils provide.

Meanwhile, Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir combines the lip care benefits of a lip oil, while also giving you the desired high-shine finish provided by lip gloss. This lip oil boosts hydration by 2X after 1 hour* and boosts your lip volume by up to 70% in 28 days**. One of the other lip oil benefits of Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir is that it visibly reduces the appearance of lip lines by up to 31%**!

Tilbury Tip: While a lip oil provides the most lip care benefits, Charlotte’s lip glosses are packed full of lip-loving ingredients, too! After allowing your lip oil to absorb into your lips, follow with your favourite lip gloss for a veil of high-shine, beautiful colour and MORE lip care benefits! Charlotte’s Collagen Lip Bath lip glosses are enriched with ingredients like hydrating marine collagen, vitamin A for smoother-looking lips, softening & conditioning coconut oil (and more!) for lips that look plumper and luscious!

When To Apply Lip Oil

Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir can be applied to your pout whenever you need a dose of lip hydration. Simply roll over your lips throughout the day for instant hydration that lasts for hours. You can also apply this MAGIC product over your lipstick to give your lip colour a glossy finish. Or for a deeply nourishing overnight lip treatment, apply to bare lips just before bedtime!
