# Fig-Inspired Lip Gloss Glossier's Balm Dotcom Now Arrives in a 'Fig' Flavor and Colorway By Ell Smith | Published 2020-10-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fig-flavor References: [hypebae](https://hypebae.com/2020/10/glossier-balm-dotcom-wild-fig-lip-balm-release-price) & [glossier](https://www.glossier.com/products/balm-dotcom) [Glossier's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-pudding-balm-dotcom) [Balm Dotcom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glossiers-holiday-flavors) lip balms now arrive in a limited-edition 'fig' flavor and colorway. Glossier, the Millennial-favored minimalist skincare brand is known for its glossy-lipped models. Most of the time, these editorials were taken using the brand's famed Balm Dotcom -- a moisturizing lip gloss that is credited with offering an [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adizero-evo-sl-gsnk)-ready shine. Now, the fan-favorite product arrives in a fruit-inspired format. The 'Fig' colorway presents as a deep coral, and much like the fruit this formula is packed with nutrients. It moisturizes the lips as it's made with "castor seed oil, beeswax, fatty acids-rich cupuacu fruit extract and antioxidant rosemary leaf extract." Perfect for any fall makeup looks, this limited-edition item is available for $12 USD.
