# Mix-and-Match Lip Balms ChapStick's 'DUO' Introduces Two-In-One Lip Balm Products By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-01-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-in-one-lip-balm References: [chapstick](http://www.chapstick.com/products/duo) & [twitter](https://twitter.com/ChapStick/status/819242605447770114/photo/1) Two-in-one lip balm products that are double-sided have been on the market for quite some time, with leading brands like [ChapStick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/it-gets-better-project) producing items such as the 'Dual-Ended Hydration Lock Day & Night.' While products like these do offer versatility and greater value to consumers, ChapStick is also hoping to add customization to the mix with its newest range called 'DUO.' DUO lip balms come in pots that can be snapped together for effortless mixing and matching. Some of the companion flavors that are packaged together include Tropical Pineapple and Fresh Coconut, as well as Sweet Peach and Vanilla Shimmer. As well as selling its DUO lip products in packs of two, ChapStick also offers "half" packages that include just one balm that can be easily mixed and matched with other favorites, as well as replaced as needed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mix-and-match Lip Products:** Offering customizable lip balm options through mix-and-match packaging. - **Two-in-one Beauty Products:** Creating versatile beauty products that offer multiple uses in one package. - **Personalized Beauty:** Giving consumers the ability to customize their own beauty routine through mix-and-match options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Developing customizable beauty products could lead to greater personalization in the industry. - **Packaging and Labeling:** Innovative packaging design for beauty products can offer greater value and convenience for consumers. - **Retail and E-commerce:** Offering convenient mix-and-match options and half packages could drive sales in both physical and online stores. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lip-Softening Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-chouchou.md) - [5-in-1 Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conditioning-lip-balm.md) - [Split Duo Lipstick Shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/work-hardplay-hard.md) - [Ultra-Cushiony Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-balm.md) - [Two-in-One Lip Liners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lip-cheat-contour-duo.md) - [Multi-Functional Makeup Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-makeup-product.md) - [Keychain Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tell-all-juicy-berry-lip-balm.md) - [Cocktail-Inspired Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omy-lip-drinks.md) - [Pocket-Friendly Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-camp-wellness.md)
