I wouldn't normally splurge on a gloss/balm but I love hourglass products and had a gift card and just loved the shade Slip. I was looking for a plumping gloss that actually has color to it and this is exactly that. The only thing i don't love about it is that the tube it comes in. I don't know how else they could package it but it's a little too melty/glossy so when you push it up it kind of oozes out the sides. I also left it in my car (stupid of me i know) and despite it being reeled all the way down and having the cap on, a LOT of it melted and is now left in the cap. Because of the texture, I think it would also melt like this if you had it in your pocket for too long. I would still buy again, just hoping they can find better container. Maybe a little glass pot or something?
I did not know it was plumping, but it's a mild tingling. The color that I chose (haze) looks lighter on me than I thought it would (+ I'm on the lighter end of the 'medium' skin tone spectrum). The texture is nice but it melts a little too easily and it doesn't last long on me personally. Because the formula's so buttery, I could also see myself going through this product quickly. I'd say there are better products/cheaper dupes out there tbh.

Love the texture, a comforting gloss-balm that applies smoothly over dry lips. However, the darkest burgundy shade, Impulse, barely showed up on my lips—maybe a little tint, but nothing close to the pics shown. Not sure if the other shades have a similar problem.

I purchased shade 130 Impulse and the color is pretty different than the picture shown. It is supposed to be a berry/dark rose shade and it's definitely a sheer red/rust color in person. Kind of a let down for almost $40

I started with mist, then it became a spiraling addiction. I own almost every color now. I don't wear anything else. I love that this is a balm gloss lipstick. It seems like the perfect combo in one. I live in florida and have never had any melting issues.

1000% best gloss stick I've ever used! I have Clinique's black honey and tarte's similar product and this tops both by far. So pigmented and lasts and stays glossy forever. I love every hourglass product, and this is definitely worth the extra money. I have the shade "Lure"

This product feels great on my lips. It isnt sticky at all. My lips felt hydrated and looked glossy and full. I will be purchasing more of these balms.

I just brought this home from the store. It's 70° in my house. I took out the lip product in two different shades and they melted and sloughed off in a nice quarter of product onto my lip. These products are poorly designed, not made for usable conditions outside the labratory. If i had left these in my make up bag out in the southern climate they surely wouldve made a mess of everything. Im incredibly disappointed. I loved the shade and the plumping it did for me. They now sit in my fridge. I want my money back.

Goes on so smooth, feels awesome on the lips, and I love the color (Mist) with a nude/brown liner. I definitely will be purchasing more colors!

I have the shades Mist and Lure, and they're both amazing. Lure is a deep purple berry, and the color provides just the right impact - it's bold, but not too bold. Mist is an easy, every day pink that makes my lips look luscious snd kissable. They are so comfortable, and my mouth feels hydrated even after they wear off. I also really appreciate lip products with the smaller, narrower tip as my lips are thinner and it makes application much less messy.

The color is exactly what I've been looking for but the application is terrible. Goes on super patchy and makes a total mess because its so liquidy. Wish they made it a true gloss with the wand applicator instead of this. Overall so disappointing.

I absolutely loved it. The price… not so much but it's a nice finishing touch to add to my makeup. I have received so many compliments when wearing it! Makes my lips feel nice and smooth, even adds a little pump to my lips. I will say though that I wish it would stay on longer. You have to constantly reapply. Nonetheless, I will buy it again when I'm done with mine!

Beautiful color, moisturizing, fantastic

Doesn't last long you'll be reapplying, although a nice color. Does melt easily so keep cool. Wouldnt buy again because of the price and quality.

I recommend it. Planning on buying other shades. Very smooth.

This is a unique product IMO, and well it should be for the price tag. I really like the balmy texture though and the wash of color is really pretty, sheer but impactful at the same time. I'm looking forward to trying the other colors!

Love this product! It's extremely moisturizing and makes your lips feel so supple. The color does eventually fade over time as all moisturizing lip products do but the moisturization lasts all day. Got the colors Rouse and Slip—both beautiful colors. The applicator is pretty and is easy to apply. I would like to get more colors

This is the best lol product ever! It makes your lips feel amazing. Mix between gloss, lipstick and chapstick. You need it!

My favorite lip product ever! I have over 50 lipglosses/lipsticks and this one has to be the best one i've ever tried. The shade "trace" looks amazing on brown skin and it stays on for a very long time.
KK from OH
The packaging is so luxurious! It states on the package that It only twists up, so only expose a little bit at a time! It is hydrating, not sticky at all, glossy, lasts for hours. It does have a tingling sensation on my lips that lasts quite a while.
Tori from Lexington, KY
This is the second color I have bought of this product- obsessed is an understatement! Trace is my favorite, but haze is beautiful too. It's not sticky and messy which I love.
Rachel from Houston
LOVE this balm - great color and shine and love the packaging.

I have really dry lips, despite all the scrubs, lip masks, and blistex I use and I always have. I also have a "double lip line", so lipstick/lip liners almost never look good on me in my opinion. I also have pale lips, so the pigment makes it more difficult to discern where I should be lining and such. Therefore, I struggle to find something that I like for my lips. This product is moisturizing, lightly pigmented, and super juicy looking. I absolutely adore it! It does NOT, however, have staying power which I expect as it's described as a balm as opposed to a cream lip gloss or lipstick. It's very elegant from the packaging to the wear, I do think it's too expensive but seeing as there's nothing else on the market quite like it I'm willing to pay for it.
Hourglass Glossy Balm from Los Angeles
I was so excited to try this after seeing it blow up on tiktok, so I ordered it and had it shipped. It came melted and bruised, to remedy the issue I kept it in a cool place for a few hours but it did not harden. What's worse, the twisting mechanism was broken when it came, so not only was it melted, but I couldn't twist it down back into the tube. Filed for a refund immediately and am still awaiting for the confirmation! I'd be wary of this balm, especially if you're looking to use it on the go since it's prone to melting! I'm severely disappointed, especially because this is my first time trying out Hourglass products.
