Available in a number of berry-colored shades, as well a bright yellow one, the lip oils bring out the natural shape of one's mouth while adding a hint of color to make it pop a little.

What's most unique about the new lip oils however is their ability to [change color as they're worn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phreeze), which depends on the wearer's pH levels.
