I’m a bit of a lip product enthusiast — it’s rare for me to meet one I don’t like!

But for a product to truly impress me and earn a spot in my daily routine, it has to deliver hydration, texture, and a little something extra. Lately, I’ve been testing two new favorites that are making a big impact.

1. Anfisa Lip Balm – Luxury Hydration and Plumping

The Anfisa lip balm is one of the priciest I’ve ever tried, but it’s been worth every penny. It’s an incredible base for other lip products, keeping lips hydrated and giving a subtle plump effect. I’ve been reaching for it especially while doing my makeup — it smooths the lips and makes any lipstick or gloss apply flawlessly

2. Rhode Peppermint Peptide Lip Treatment – A Birthday Treat

I’ve loved Rhode’s peptide lip treatments for a while, so I was excited to try the peppermint version I received for my birthday. It has quickly become one of my favorites — the perfect hint of shimmer, a refreshing peppermint scent, and all the nourishing benefits I expect from Rhode. It’s ideal for both daily wear and when I want a subtle shine without a full lipstick.

High-quality lip products can elevate your whole makeup look, and these two are currently winning me over. Anfisa provides luxurious hydration and a plumping base, while Rhode Peppermint Peptide Treatment adds a refreshing shimmer that’s perfect for everyday wear. Have you tried either of these yet, and do they live up to the hype for you?
