What the gurus are saying

This lip oil feels and performs more like a gloss than a traditional drippy oil, which reviewers found genuinely comfortable to wear. It layers beautifully without feeling heavy or sticky, won't travel onto surrounding skin even when applied generously, and leaves lips feeling cushioned and plump overnight. The formula is elegant enough to wear sheer for a subtle look or built up for more shine, making it versatile for different preferences.

"I saw just absolutely everyone using these, there are a lot of influencers doing beautiful ads for these, but I have also seen those influencers use them all the time, so it is clearly like a truly loved product. It feels really really nice. It doesn't go with a lip liner. [...] I really like that. [...] They feel really really nice on the lip, they feel hydrated, they don't feel claggy."

The BEST DRUGSTORE makeup I've ever tried!!! Testing drugstore makeup
"I've been wanting to try these for so long, and I've never been able to find them anywhere, and they sold out for ages. Really comfortable. Not too sticky. Feels verging more on a glossy finish than a lip oil, which I personally prefer anyway. It's a bit of color. It's not too intense. These haven't creased up as much as I thought they would, which is really nice."

"It's not sticky on the lips, it doesn't transfer that much, and it lasts a really really really long time. [...] It's only $8.99. [...] You need the tiniest tiniest amount and it does just slide and glide on with a really good immediate color payoff. [...] It's buildable as well. I do like it. I think they're really really decent. I would [...] test the colors because the swatches are a little bit unreliable, but I genuinely think they're really really decent."

"It's so nicely elegant. [...] The clear one is so nice, it feels cushiony and plump and you could put on a lot less shinier and you could just have this as I personally don't like too much of a shiny look on my lips and it tastes so good, [...] smells so good, it's extremely comfortable to wear and my lips feel very nice after."

"I am tempted to try this NYX fat oil just because that is that looks tempting"

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
