This product merges the hydration of a lip balm with the shine of a gloss and the precision of a lipstick. Its clinically proven formula contains hyaluronic acid for optimal hydration and firming, along with pro-collagen and hydrolyzed collagen for regenerative properties. From the first application, with a cumulative effect, the Twist Balmy Gloss creates an illusion of volume, leaving lips feeling more nourished, smooth, and soft to the touch. It is also enriched with apple seed oil, an Italian ingredient derived from upcycling methods, rich in vitamins E and A, providing anti-aging, antioxidant, and repairing benefits. The range of shades suits all complexions, from nude to vibrant pinks, including on-trend colors. Application is effortless thanks to its design tip, allowing for easy gliding and buildable, sheer color application. A beauty step that reveals hydrated, voluptuous, and shiny lips with a simple twist. According to Collistar's ingredient selection policy, after 30 minutes, hydration increases by 44% and lip volume by 13% from the first use. 100% of participants noticed nourished, smooth, and soft lips. After 12 hours, long-term hydration reaches 20%. *Clinical and dermatological tests conducted on 20 women aged 18 to 50 years.
The Collistar Twist Balmy Gloss is designed for adults seeking a multi-benefit lip product that combines hydration, shine, and color. Its key benefit is providing nourished, voluminous, and glossy lips with a simple application. A potential caveat is that the visual effects on volume are an illusion created by the formula, rather than actual plumping.

Troubleshooting
Product will not twist up
Ensure you are twisting the correct end of the applicator. If it still doesn't twist, the product may be fully extended or there might be an internal mechanism issue. Contact customer support if the problem persists.
Uneven color application
Ensure lips are smooth and exfoliated. Apply a thin, even layer first, then build up the color. Ensure the applicator tip is clean and not damaged.
Product feels sticky
This gloss formula is designed for shine and hydration, which can sometimes create a slight tackiness. Apply a thinner layer or gently blot lips after application if this is a concern.
Color does not match expectation
Colors can appear differently based on individual lip tone. Refer to online shade guides or swatch in-store if possible. The product offers sheer, buildable coverage, so the final look is customizable.
