Sephora has so many great brands and new spring launches. I did a major spring lip haul and put 10 different formulas to the test. I tried a little bit of everything from lip liners, lip oils, balms, liquid lips and lipsticks. If you’ve been curious about any of the newer launches here is the rundown.
Merit Shade Slick Gelee Sheer Tinted Lip Oils
Merit Shade Slick Gelee Sheer Tinted Lip Oils ($24) are brand new and these are beautiful. They’re sheer glossy lip oils that give the lips a nice fresh wash of color. Color payoff is like almost like a water color stain – natural but still noticeable. They’re super lightweight and the pigment stains the lips a little.

Tower 28 Lips
Tower 28 JuiceBalm Vegan Tinted Lip Balms ($16) are another great find. I think the shades are fun for spring to summer. These come in a twist up chubby stick form and have a natural finish, ultra hydrating feel and fun colors. I bought two in Mix (nautral nude) and Shake (juicy pink) – great swipe and go kind of lip colors.
The Tower 28 OneLiner Lip Liners ($15) have been sold out for a long time but just restocked. I think Fill Me In and Work of Art are some of the best neutral lips but better kind of shades and they have a smooth full coverage finish.
Sephora Collection
Sephora Collection products are highly under-rated. Next time you’re in store definitely check out the selection of brushes, lip products and more. I recently picked up the Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick ($15) in 70 First Date and it’s the perfect creamy peachy pink. Formula is really good – opaque, smooth, doesn’t look dry and long-wearing. They’re super comfortable and I like that they also don’t dry out the lips.
The Sephora Collection Lip Liner To Go ($6) is also top notch. I had my eye on a handful of colors because they have a great range of neutrals and brown tones. I picked up 17 Light Brown and 15 Deep Beige – both of which are really great neutrals.
Too Faced
Too Faced makes the most dramatic lip plumping products and they just launched the Lip Injection Extreme Lip Shaper Plumping Lip Liner ($24). These made my lips extremely full and plump immediately. The tingle factor is probably an 9 out of 10 for me which was a little too strong. The shades are really great neutrals and if your lips can handle the tingle these really do plump the lips.
Dior Beauty
Dior Beauty makes some of the most beautiful luxury lipsticks and I hauled a few new shades of the Dior Addict Refillable Shine Lipstick ($45) and a couple of the fun Lipstick Cases ($30). 412 Dior Vibe is a nude beige and 521 Diorelita is the perfect pink mauve shade. Both have a hydrating feel, pretty shine and beautiful color payoff.
Pat McGrath Labs
If you’re looking for great wearable neutrals Pat McGrath SatinAllure Lipsticks ($30) are 100% worth the splurge. I think every single shade is beautiful – I swatched Venusian Peach, Negligee, Nude Romantique 2 and Nude Venus. The SatinAllure is a classic lipstick formula with a satin finish and full coverage.
NARS
The newest launch from NARS is the Afterglow Sensual Shine Hydrating Lipstick ($32) and these are incredible. If you like shine lipsticks definitely check these out. I picked out two shades to try the formula and will be picking up more. Breathless is a perfect beige nude and Orgasm is a stunning pink gold. Texture is very smooth – these glide onto the lips in the most comfortable way.
Rare Beauty
Last but not least the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oils ($20) are incredible. These have a stain in the color that adheres to the lips. I love the bold shades – they’re very wearable and I think will be flattering on a wide range of skin tones. To me they are more like a stain with a hint of gloss/oil but I love them. Definitely check out a few of these during the Sephora Savings Event.
That wraps up my Lip Haul review! Let me know what’s on your radar for the Sephora Savings Event. Have you tried any of these new lip launches yet?
