Kosas Wet Stick Moisturizing Lip Shine

A gorgeous not-quite-lipstick with sheer color and soft shine / 0.1 oz Kosas Wet Stick Moisturizing Lip Shine is the perfect in-betweener: it's more than a tinted balm (there's already LipFuel for that), but it's not a lipstick (there's already Weightless Lip Color for that). And it's not a gloss, either (there's already Wet Lip Oil Gloss for that). You might then wonder, "Well, do I actually need something that's in between them all?" We did. And then we tried these and thought, "We must have them!" There's something about this combination of sheerer-than-lipstick color, softer-than-gloss shine, and creamy moisture that's really quite perfect. If you're not a "makeup-y" person but you want your lips to have some soft, naturally face-brightening color, this is the lip product for you. We also love the range of wearable shades, which in some cases are an easy match since there's some crossover with the Wet Lip Oil gloss shades. (If you've missed the original Kosas lipstick shades, we think you'll find a favorite among these.) And each one is packed with plumping hyaluronic acid and peptides, softening squalane and ceramides, and nourishing mango butter to help keep lips smooth. But our favorite thing? The texture, which glides on effortlessly and feels comfortable and truly weightless all day. Need help choosing between the shades?  - Skinny Dip is a cool, baby pink - Baby Rose is a neutral, light pink (similar to the original Rosewater lipstick, but a little lighter) - Heatwave is a neutral, rosy beige - Malibu is a cool, mauve-y pink (similar to the original Rosewater lipstick) - Hot Beach is a warm, rosy beige - Papaya Treat is a warm, peachy beige - 100 Degrees is a neutral pink beige - Sunset Simmer is a warm, rosy brown - Island High is a warm, toasty red - Tropic Bliss is a cool, rosy mauve - Cinnamon Spritz is a warm, rich brown  - Bikini Blaze is a cool magenta (similar to the iconic '90s Black Honey shade)
