No, you can’t eat them, but trust me, you’ll be tempted.
In a world full of overcomplicated routines and overpriced lip kits, e.l.f. delivers a lip balm that’s simple, sumptuous, and seriously addictive. And this latest launch is most definitely a makeup bag must. Read on to know more.

FAQs
-
Is the Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm more of a lip treatment or a makeup product?
While it delivers hydration thanks to powerhouse ingredients like shea, mango, and cocoa butter (plus hyaluronic acid), it also gives your lips a buildable tint and glossy finish. Think of it as your all-in-one solution for colour, shine, and care.
-
How pigmented are the shades? Will they show up on deeper skin tones?
The balm offers a wash of colour that’s sheer but buildable, meaning you can swipe once for a hint of tint or layer up for more impact. It’s designed to flatter a wide range of skin tones with shades like Blackberry Sorbet and Wild Cherry offer deeper hues that look gorgeous on melanin-rich complexions.
-
Are the scents overpowering or artificial?
The scents are playful and nostalgic like Strawberry Shortcake and Yummy Gummy but they're subtle and wearable. They give you a sweet sensory treat without overwhelming your senses.
