These are the 3 best lip products we tried this week from L’Oréal, Watier and Kiima

We try dozens of beauty launches each month. These were our testers’ three favourite lip products this week:

They say: A lip liner that promises the look of “naturally fuller lips.” The soft-focus formula gives a blurred effect to easily shape and contour lips. Available in eight shades.

We say: This lineup of pencils makes the trendy lined lip look easy to achieve. The rounded-top shape of the twist-up pencil makes it easy to draw on a lip-contouring line that can be built up or blended out for a desired look. Our tester loved the shade 635 Worth It Medium, a rosy pink with a subtle hint of brown.

They say: A ‘zero-waste’ lip balm from the Canadian brand Kiima. The reusable lip balm applicators can be easily refilled with the balm product. The moisturizing formula, available in three flavours, is billed as being natural, biodegradable, vegan and cruelty-free.

We say: This line of petite lip balms are a perfect salve for dry lips. Our testers found the balm left lips soft and hydrated. And we love the reusable format. The replacement balm cubes are easy to put into the case when it’s time for a re-up. Very nice!

They say: A high-shine lip lacquer from the Canadian brand Watier. The coloured lip formula features lip-smoothing ingredients such as Labrador tea extract and a mix of apricot, jojoba and coconut oils to hydrate and smooth lips.

We say: This lip gloss performs as well as the luxury formulas that have come across our desks. Developed in Canada, the formula is made in Italy. The lacquer glides onto lips with surprisingly full-coverage colour and a wet-look shine. If you’re on the lookout for a glossy lip colour that won’t dry out lips thanks to some skin-caring ingredients, this may be the one for you.
