Hybrid Hydrating Lip Balms

Laura Mercier's Newly Formulated Lip Glacé Delivers 24-Hour Moisture

Renowned beauty brand Laura Mercier recently launched a brand new hybrid formula—a hydrating lip balm that is attention-grabbing but also nourishing. The product is marketed to combine "a mirror-like, high shine glossy finish with the comfort of a lip balm," promising to keep one's pout smooth and soft all day long.

The hydrating lip balm—elegantly named Lip Glacé—is formulated with a signature ingredient for the brand, namely French Rose extract which is rich in antioxidants. Laura Mercier also strengthens its offering with Jojoba Seed Oil, Grapeseed Oil, and Evening Primrose Oil. The packaging of the product features an extremely soft brush that makes the glacé a dream to apply.

The Lip Glacé is offered in fifteen shades—from the purple allure of the Berry Bliss to the playful innocence of the Baby Doll.
