Hourglass added 4 new shades of their Phantom Volumizing Shiny Lip Balm ($38 every) and they’re extremely stunning. Three of them are shimmers and one is a brand new purple. Out of all of the Hourglass lip formulation that is most likely my favourite, particularly since I like a shiny lip.
Above left to proper:
- Secret is a rose with gold shimmer (assume MAC Sophisto vibes, however not as frosty)
- Invite is a medium tan brown with gold shimmer
- Wander is a light-weight peachy pink with golden shimmer

Each single shade of the brand new Phantom Shiny Balm is wearable and regardless that Wander is on the lighter facet it nonetheless reveals up on my lips – the pigment is ideal. The common non shimmer shades are very comfortable and virtually melty feeling as soon as they’re on the lips. The shimmer model is easy with out texture however they’ve a barely stiffer really feel which I really like higher.
Since these are shiny balms lasting energy isn’t going to be lengthy, however they don’t slide off simply and I actually like that the end is forgiving so it fades properly. They’re properly hydrating and easy with out feeling thick.
The Hourglass staff despatched a gorgeous press field with the brand new shades and in addition included three from the everlasting lineup. I’ve reviewed them right here, right here and right here however thought I’d add them right here too together with Want (rose mauve), Lure (plum) and Sense (the most effective nude pink).
General love. Each single shade is one I feel might be universally flattering. I’ve lastly discovered my new holy grail purple. I hoped the peach orange shade Mystic within the Vacation 2024 Duo can be out individually however it appears to be like prefer it’s solely accessible within the set (nonetheless in inventory). I’d find yourself shopping for the set earlier than it sells out since I like peachy coral shades.
