Sheer Silk Lip Oil Collection review: my honest take

ReviewCompareRoutineInsideSetsTipsFAQs

*As stated by SeneGence.

The Glowify Sheer Silk Lip Oil Collection is three lip oils in Lilac Mist, Rose Water and Glazed Cherry. SeneGence says the oil gives a non-sticky, glass-like shine, and the formula includes Nangai, meadowfoam, marula and jojoba oils plus vitamin C, with a lilac-mint flavor. It’s the soft, comfy side of the lip lineup.

It's what I'd reach for on a Saturday: shine, comfort and nothing to think about.

Lip oil sits between balm and gloss. You get shine and a hint of tint without the tacky feel some glosses have. The trade-off is wear: it’s sheer and you’ll reapply through the day. It suits anyone with dry-feeling lips who wants something comfortable, or who wears LipSense during the week and wants a break on the weekend.

Each oil is $30, so three cost $90, the same as the set. The listing doesn’t mention a bag, which the Glazed Lip Oil Collection includes at the same price. If you’d rather pick one favorite from all eight shades, a single Glowify Sheer Silk Lip Oil is the cheaper start.

The three oils are alternatives, not layers. Pick one for the day and reapply whenever your lips feel bare. A liner is optional; it helps if you want the sheer color to look a bit more defined. Keep one oil wherever you spend the most time.

Sheer Silk Lip Oil Collection FAQs

What's in the Glowify Sheer Silk Lip Oil Collection?

Three Glowify Sheer Silk Lip Oils in Lilac Mist, Rose Water and Glazed Cherry. The set is $90, the same as three singles at $30.

Is Glowify Sheer Silk Lip Oil sticky?

SeneGence describes it as non-sticky with a glass-like shine. That’s the main difference from a traditional gloss, and why it feels closer to a balm on the lips.

What does the lip oil taste like?

SeneGence lists a lilac-mint flavor. It’s there to make reapplying pleasant, not to make a statement, and it’s light enough that most people won’t mind it.

How many lip oil shades are there?

Eight: Blush Mist, Glazed Cherry, Honey Nectar, Lilac Mist, Milk Glass, Rose Water, Silk Berry and Sunbeam. This set has three of them.

Lip oil or LipSense?

Different jobs. Lip oil is sheer, comfortable shine you reapply. LipSense Liquid Lip Color is long-wear color sealed with gloss, and SeneGence says it lasts up to 18 hours.
