FAQs

Is this a lip balm or a lip gloss?

The REM Beauty Essential Drip is a hybrid product, functioning as both a nourishing lip treatment and a high-shine tinted lip gloss. It provides the conditioning benefits of a balm with a sheer flush of color and gloss.

How long does the color last?

As a tinted lip balm and gloss, the color and shine are designed for comfortable wear but will require reapplication, especially after eating or drinking. It provides a temporary sheer tint.

Can I wear this over other lip products?

Yes, absolutely. It works wonderfully on its own, but you can also apply it over lip liner or lipstick to add shine, hydration, and a subtle color shift.

Is the 'Strawberry Soda' shade very pink or red?

The Strawberry Soda shade provides a sheer, juicy tint that leans towards a warm pinkish-red, designed to enhance your natural lip color with a healthy glow.

Is this product sticky?

No, the formula is designed to feel smooth and silky on the lips, providing high shine without a sticky or tacky sensation.

What are 'super-fruit antioxidants'?

Super-fruit antioxidants are natural compounds found in various fruits, included in this formula for their protective properties against environmental stressors, helping to keep lips healthy.

Does it have a scent or flavor?

Troubleshooting

Lips feel dry shortly after application.

Ensure you are applying to clean, exfoliated lips. Reapply frequently, especially if you are in a dry environment. For optimal lip health, consider consistent hydration through drinking water.

Color doesn't look as vibrant as expected.

The Essential Drip Tinted Lip Balm is designed for a sheer wash of color, similar to a lip gloss, not an opaque lipstick. For more vibrancy, try layering it over a lip liner or a similar-toned matte lipstick.

Applicator seems to pick up too much or too little product.

The wand has a paddle side for ample product pickup and a contoured side for more controlled application. Experiment with both sides to find your preferred method. You can gently wipe any excess product back into the tube before application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Hydrates and Conditions: Effectively treats dry lips with hyaluronic acid and antioxidants.
  • Natural-Looking Tint: Offers a sheer, glossy color for a subtle enhancement.
  • Versatile Application: Innovative wand allows for both quick sweeps and precise detailing.
  • Comfortable Wear: Provides a smooth, non-sticky, and silky feel.
  • Improves Lip Health: Strengthens skin barrier and improves lip texture over time.

Cons

  • Sheer Color Payoff: May not provide enough pigmentation for those seeking a bold, opaque lip color.
  • Reapplication Needed: As a balm/gloss hybrid, frequent reapplication might be necessary, especially after eating or drinking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application

  1. Ensure lips are clean and dry for best adherence.
  2. Unscrew the cap and pull out the wand.
  3. For full coverage, use the paddle side of the wand to glide the balm evenly over both upper and lower lips.
  4. For precise application, especially around the Cupid's bow or outer corners, use the contoured side of the wand.
  5. Reapply as desired throughout the day for continued hydration and shine.

Compatibility

This lip balm is unisex and suitable for adult users. It can be worn alone for a natural look or layered with other lip products. It complements a wide range of skin tones due to its sheer, buildable tint. The Strawberry Soda shade offers a universally flattering, subtle pinkish-red hue. Other variants offer different sheer color options for diverse preferences.

Care

  • Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its consistency and efficacy.
  • Always securely fasten the cap after use to prevent drying out and contamination.
  • For hygienic purposes, avoid sharing the applicator with others.
  • If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
