Honestly, most lip oils are very similar. These are the most standout lip oils I have tried. I prefer the Dior and Summer Fridays products so much! If you’re looking for a new lip product, definitely try out both of these. I recommend it 10/10. I used to like the Rhode Lip Peptide Treatments

One thing about me is that I don't go anywhere without a lip balm – I always have at least 2 (if not more) in my bag! While it's easy to be tempted by the current trending products – and I definitely own a few expensive ones – some of my favorite lip balms are from the drugstore too!
