Elle Turner testing the Laneige Lip Glowy Balm.
Laneige Lip Glowy Balm
Best K-beauty hero: Laneige Lip Glowy Balm
Why we love it: Powered by nourishing ingredients such as murumuru and shea butter, this K-beauty lip balm/lip gloss hybrid from Laneige is one of our firm favourites, and with good reason. It helps soften your lips after every application while ensuring lasting hydration. Our Senior Beauty Editor Elle Turner loved the shade range, particularly the Berry iteration, which is a sheer red strawberry hue that adds a subtle wash of colour. Just think about all the possible lip combos…

Dior Addict Lip Glow
Robyn Eugene reviewing the Dior Addict Lip Glow.
Best premium: Dior Addict Lip Glow
Why we love it: Not only does this luxury balm leave lips feeling beautifully silky and comfortable, but its formula also reacts with your pH, leaving a personalised rose tint on the natural colour of your lips. It's also available in 14 shades – from your browns and pinks to the more vibrant reds and even purple hues. Our Social Media Editor Robyn Eugene was particularly impressed with the Rosewood shade, which is a rosy nude that's perfect for everyday wear.

Glossier Balm Dotcom
Best cult-favourite: Glossier Balm Dotcom
Why we love it: Filled to the brim with castor jelly, antioxidants and natural emollients, this bestselling formula from Glossier is perfect for nourishing dry, chapped lips and keeping them quenched for hours at a time. Plus, there are loads of different colours (and scents) to choose from. Our Senior European Commerce Editor Sophie Cockett loved the weightless yet deeply hydrating feel and the fact that it didn't feel too greasy upon application, making it a universal formula to have at hand wherever you go.

Ole Henriksen Exclusive Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment
Denise Primbet testing the Ole Henriksen Exclusive Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment.
Best tinted formula: Ole Henriksen Exclusive Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment
Why we love it: The Ole Henriksen Peptide Lip Treatment has become a viral icon across the realms of TikTok, but does it live up to the hype? The short answer is: yes, absolutely. Fuelled by peptides and natural plant butter, this formula is one of the best formulas we've tested for extra-dry lips. Plus, it's also specially formulated to leave behind a gorgeous, dewy finish, along with a plumper and healthier-looking pout. “I am a huge fan of the Creme Brulee shade, which is a great wearable shade for the day-to-day. In fact, I haven't been able to put this tube down for the whole month since I first got my hands on it – and that's coming from someone who reviews lip balms for a living, so that's saying a lot,” says Denise Primbet, GLAMOUR's Beauty Commerce Writer.
