Buttery Soft Seasonal Flavor Balms

e.l.f. Cosmetics' Glow Reviver Flavor Balm Duo Debuts

e.l.f. Cosmetics introduced the Glow Reviver Flavor Balm Lip Duo, a two-piece lip product featuring a buttery soft formula designed to nourish and tint. The duo delivers a wash of buildable color with a glossy finish and is formulated with 10% hydrating butters for soft, supple lips. The applicator has a lip-hugging tip that smooths product onto the lip surface for even coverage.

The pair includes two limited-edition festive flavors: Pink Peppermint, a pale pink shade, and Pumpkin Glaze, described as an amber with pearl. The balms are presented as a long-lasting nourishing duo and are priced at $18. Availability windows and retail rollouts are listed for multiple markets.

This set matters to consumers who want low-effort, sensory lip care that adds sheen and subtle color while hydrating. The flavor-led, buttery formula taps seasonal gifting and multisensory personal-care trends and broadens e.l.f.'s flavored balm assortment.
