A lip oil with a charm hanging off it. Which sounds like a small thing, and is exactly why this sells — it turns a tube of lip oil into something that looks like a present and clips visibly onto a bag.
Lip oil sits between a balm and a gloss: lighter and less tacky than gloss, shinier and more cushioned than balm. This one is candy scented and dermatologically tested, with vitamin E in the formula, and it goes on sheer rather than coloured.
At £6 it occupies the most useful price point there is — the add-on at the till, the thing that finishes a stocking, the present for someone you like but don't know well. Lip products are also the rare beauty gift that can't be the wrong shade or the wrong size.
The charm is what makes it, especially for a teenager. Come and see it at 22 Burgate in Canterbury, or order online for UK delivery.

FAQ
Is it tinted or clear?
Clear. There are no colourants in the formula, so it gives shine rather than colour and suits anyone.
How is lip oil different from lip gloss?
It's lighter and far less sticky. Gloss sits on the surface; oil sinks in and leaves a softer, more natural shine.
What does it smell like?
Sweet candy, with vanillin in the formula giving it a sugary finish.
Is it tested?
Legami state the formula is dermatologically tested.
What is the charm for?
Decoration. It hangs from the tube and makes it easy to find at the bottom of a bag, which is more useful than it sounds.
Does it make a good gift?
One of the best stocking fillers at this price, and an easy secret santa that doesn't need you to know anyone's taste.
