iNNBEAUTY Project Glaze Lip Oil

These fruit-scented lip oils soothe chapped lips and provide a shiny pop of color. We love #9 Merlot, a rich wine shade, and #1 Candy Apple, a translucent rosy hue. Each lip oil is made with a moisturizing blend of ingredients including red root and jojoba oil, apple extract and a plant-based plumping complex.
