Hey beauties! So, I've been playing around with the new Gisou Honey Infused Hydrating Lip Oils, and let me tell you, my lips are thanking me! You might have seen the beautiful bottles (they really are aesthetic, with those matching caps just like in my photos!), but experiencing these shades firsthand is a whole different story. Let's talk about the swatches first, because I know that's a huge part of picking out new lip products. I tried my best to capture the true essence of each shade on my hand, showing you that milky pink (Vanilla Glaze), the gorgeous warm toffee, and of course, the ever-popular mocha brown. What I love is how true-to-bottle the swatches are, and they translate beautifully onto the lips. They give a lovely hint of color without being too opaque, making them perfect for everyday wear or layering. That subtle tint is just enough to make your lips look juicy and plump. Now, for the flavors – or rather, the scents! The original Gisou Lip Oil has that signature honey scent, which I adore. These new fall shades maintain that pleasant, subtle aroma, but each has a slight twist that complements its color. For instance, the Vanilla Glaze has a soft, sweet vanilla note that reminds me of a cozy dessert, without being overpowering. Sticky Toffee has a warm, almost caramel-like sweetness, incredibly inviting for the fall season. And Milky Mocha? It has a hint of that rich, comforting coffee scent mixed with a creamy sweetness. It's not a strong taste, which is great, as I'm not a fan of overly flavored lip products. The scent lingers gently for a while, adding to the luxurious experience. A special shout-out to Milky Mocha Gisou. This shade is an absolute dream! It's that perfect blend of brown with a touch of warmth that makes your lips look naturally fuller and incredibly chic. On my skin tone, it gives a sophisticated, understated vibe – like "my lips but better" with an autumn twist. I've found it to be super versatile, pairing well with a nude makeup look or even a more dramatic eye. If you're hesitant about brown lip products, this milky mocha is a fantastic entry point because it's not too dark or intimidating. It just melts into your natural lip color, enhancing it beautifully. Let's talk about the investment. Yes, they retail for $28.00 each at Sephora. I know some might consider that a splurge, but honestly, for the quality, the experience, and how long these last (a little goes a long way!), I think they're worth it. Gisou is a brand known for its honey-infused goodness, and these lip oils are no exception, feeling incredibly nourishing. While I purchased mine stateside, Gisou is a global brand, and I'd recommend checking your local Sephora or beauty retailers for availability and pricing if you're outside the US. They often have similar pricing structures, but it can vary. Beyond just the pretty colors and scents, the formula truly stands out. It's not sticky in the slightest – a huge win for me! It glides on smoothly, leaving a high-shine, glossy finish without feeling heavy. I've been using it not just on its own, but also dabbed over some of my matte lipsticks to add a comfortable sheen and extra hydration. It's become a staple in my everyday routine, keeping my lips soft, plump, and healthy-looking, especially as the weather gets cooler. If you're looking for a luxurious lip treat that delivers on both aesthetics and performance, these new Gisou Lip Oils are definitely worth adding to your cart!
