If you’ve spent more than five minutes on BeautyTok lately, you’ve probably seen a certain silver tube making the rounds. We’re talking about the e.l.f. Cosmetics Glow Reviver Slipstick. After the hold their lip oils had on us last year, the brand decided to put that same juicy, high-shine formula into a mess-free stick.

Naturally, the “girlypops” are losing it. We did a deep dive into what five of our favorite creators are saying, and spoiler: your wallet is about to be $10 lighter.

1. The “Lip-Oil-in-a-Stick” Revolution

First up, Gabriella Rongstad (@gabriellarongstad) pointed out exactly why this launch is such a big deal. “It’s a lip oil in a stick,” she explains, noting that it brings that viral Glow Reviver shine without the potential leak-in-your-purse drama. She tried the shade Mauve Mentality—a gorgeous everyday neutral—and was instantly hooked on the buildable pigment.

2. The High-Contrast Staple

Erica Nicole (@ericanic0le), a self-proclaimed “lipaholic,” was immediately drawn to the shade Loveslick. “I always love wearing pink because it goes so well with my dark hair,” she says. Erica also tested Cara-melt (a warm nude) and Rose Latte, which she dubbed her “lips, but better” shade. Her final verdict? They’re officially living in her purse.

3. The Packaging is Actually Chic

We expect a lot from e.l.f., but Lil Peet (@_lilpeet) was specifically floored by the tube itself. “It’s a reflective, mirror-like case—plus, she’s magnetic,” she notes. Peet took a walk on the dark side with Jam Packed, a deep black cherry shade that she says is “beautiful for the holidays.” If you want a moody lip that still feels hydrating, this is the one.

4. The “Addictive Slip”

If you’re worried about a sticky mess, Serentta (@serenttaaa) is here to ease your mind. She highlighted the “smooth and creamy texture” that manages to hydrate and soften the lips simultaneously. She loved the medium buildable color, noting that the formula has an “addictive slip” that makes it effortless to apply while you’re on the go.

5. The Mirror-Free Essential

Finally, Makeup by Lexh (@makeupbylexh) reminded us why we love a balm-hybrid in the first place: the ease of use. “You can reapply without thinking or even looking in a mirror,” she says. As a self-described “glossy lip girl,” she confirmed that the shine is just as juicy as the PureWow editors promised.

The Verdict?

Whether you’re a Rose Latte devotee or craving the deep berry tones of Jam Packed, the consensus is clear: e.l.f. has done it again. At just $10, it’s the ultimate “treat yourself” item that actually works harder than some of our $40 favorites.
