Love Swipe is the newest lip product from K-beauty-inspired brand Kaja and it takes the form of an air-whipped lip mousse. Available in five velvety shades, the smooth and buildable formula dries to a soft finish to provide weightless color and comfort from nourishing ingredients like cottonseed oil, raspberry seed oil and Vitamin E.
The product, found in heart-shaped packaging, comes with a doe-foot applicator to make putting on the product easy. Alternatively, the lip product can be blended in with the fingertips to create a smudged effect.
These lip products tap into the popularity of "lip mud" cosmetics that are non-drying, comfortable to wear and provide the look of an airy matte finish. Love Swipe can be found in deep berry reds, peachy nudes and soft pinks.
