Glowify Sheer Silk Lip Oil review: my honest take

ReviewCompareRoutineIngredientsSetsTipsFAQs

*As stated by SeneGence.

Glowify Sheer Silk Lip Oil is SeneGence’s take on the lip-oil trend. It’s a sheer oil with what SeneGence calls a non-sticky, glass-like shine, made with Nangai, meadowfoam, marula and jojoba oils plus vitamin C. There are 8 shades, from Milk Glass to Glazed Cherry, and it has a lilac-mint flavor. No layering, no rules: swipe and go.

Swipe, shine, forget about it. The least fussy lip product in the whole lineup.

This is the opposite of LipSense. It won’t last all day, and it isn’t meant to. You’ll reapply it, and that’s part of the fun. It suits anyone who likes shiny, comfortable lips with a hint of color, and it’s a gentle way into SeneGence if the three-layer system sounds like too much. Stickiness is my usual complaint with glosses; SeneGence says this one isn’t sticky.

At $30 for 0.14 fl oz, it’s priced like a nice gloss. Want three? The Sheer Silk Lip Oil Collection and the Glazed Lip Oil Collection are $90 each for three shades, and Glazed adds a bag. If you want a fuller look too, try the Juicy Plumping Lip Gloss.

On very dry days, let a little Lip Balm sink in first, then add the oil for shine. Reapply the oil through the day whenever you like. At night, the Overnight Lip Mask does the heavier lifting while you sleep.

What’s in it, in plain words

• Nangai oil: SeneGence describes it as deeply hydrating and soothing.
• Meadowfoam, marula and jojoba oils: more plant oils in the blend, which is why it feels like an oil rather than a sticky gloss.
• Vitamin C: a familiar antioxidant vitamin listed in the formula.
• Lilac-mint flavor: a light flavor SeneGence lists for the whole range.

Sets that include Glowify Lip Oil

• Glowify Sheer Silk Lip Oil Collection: Lilac Mist, Rose Water and Glazed Cherry, $90
• Glazed Lip Oil Collection: Blush Mist, Honey Nectar and Sunbeam, limited edition, plus a bag, $90

Glowify Sheer Silk Lip Oil FAQs

Is Glowify Lip Oil sticky?

SeneGence describes it as non-sticky with a glass-like shine. It’s an oil, so it feels slippery and smooth rather than tacky like some glosses.

How long does Glowify Lip Oil last?

SeneGence doesn’t give a wear time. It’s a sheer oil, so expect to reapply after eating or drinking. For long wear, try LipSense instead.

What does Glowify Lip Oil taste like?

SeneGence lists a lilac-mint flavor across all 8 shades. If you’d prefer a cooling watermelon-mint, that’s the Glowify Juicy Plumping Lip Gloss.

Glowify Lip Oil vs Juicy Plumping Gloss: which should I get?

Both are sheer and shiny. The oil is about a non-sticky, glassy finish and plant oils. The Juicy Plumping Lip Gloss adds a cooling feel and, SeneGence says, visible plumping.
