These Are the Only Lip Balms ELLE Beauty Editors Buy at Sephora

“I don’t even know how many times I’ve written about this lip balm, but it’s because I don’t think I’ll ever stop loving it. You know how sometimes, it feels like lip balms only keep things hydrated when they’re physically on your lips, but your lips get dry as soon as the product rubs off? This formula is designed to combat that issue; it’s infused with gentle exfoliants as well as rich butters so that it can slough away dead skin cells and deeply hydrate at the same time. As a result, your lips feel better, not worse, after a day of wear. Plus, the shades are gorgeous—especially Boba Bounce, a perfect soft ’90s brown.”—Carol Lee, associate beauty e-commerce writer

A Sephora reviewer says: “Eadem is the truth! I can’t wait until it comes back in stock so I can get other colors. It is a rich, thick, lip gloss with amazing shine and incredible moisture. The color is beautiful and stays on all day. I love it. Worth every penny.”
