I'm on the hunt for a cosmetic or beauty advent calendar for my friend who's really into makeup. I'm not well-versed in this area, and she initially recommended the P Louise advent, but unfortunately, it's sold out. I'm hoping to stay within a $100 budget, and I want something classy, not too cheesy, and definitely not aimed at kids or teens. Any recommendations you have would be incredibly helpful! Thanks a bunch!

Buyer's guide: e.l.f. Cosmetics' Glow Reviver Lip Oil is a sheer tinted lip oil with an oversized applicator. It launched in November 2023 and has since built up 9,391 reviews on elfcosmetics.com, with an average of 4.8 out of 5. It now comes in ten shades for $9. These are the questions people ask before buying it.
What Shades Does Glow Reviver Lip Oil Come In?
These seven launch shades are still sold: Honey Talks (beige brown), Coral Fixation (sheer coral), Rose Envy (rosewood), Crystal Clear, Jam Session (black cherry), Pink Quartz (sheer light pink) and Red Delicious (red). e.l.f. has since added Money Mauve (mauve), It's Giving Guava (peachy pink) and Hot as Fudge (rich brown).
What Is in the Formula?
e.l.f. lists five key ingredients: squalane, apricot oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil and pomegranate oil. The formula is non-sticky, has a fresh minty scent and gives a high-gloss finish.
Our take: that oil blend is what you'd expect from a comfort-first lip oil. The mint is for fragrance. e.l.f. doesn't market this as a plumper.
What's Special About the Applicator?
e.l.f. calls it an "ultra-plush, XXL" cushion applicator: an oversized, flexible doe foot that hugs the lips so you can cover them in a swipe or two. e.l.f. suggests starting at the center of your lips and working outward.
Can You Wear It Over Lipstick?
Yes. e.l.f. says it can be worn on its own or over lipstick. A clear or sheer shade over a matte lipstick gives a glossy top coat without a sticky gloss.
Is It Vegan?
e.l.f. markets its whole range as vegan and cruelty-free, and it covers this question in the lip oil's FAQ on its site.
How Does It Compare to the Lip Oil Stick?
e.l.f. now also sells a Glow Reviver Lip Oil Stick ($10), a twist-up version with its own shades. Choose the liquid if you want more shine, or the stick if you want less mess.
Confirmed vs. Not Confirmed
Confirmed: shades, price, rating, ingredients and applicator details, from e.l.f.'s product page on September 25, 2026.
Not confirmed: the product's size, which wasn't shown on the page we read, and stock at Ulta and other retailers.
September 25, 2026 update: we added the three newer shades, key ingredients and the current $9 price.
