What's New: The Products Inside
The Lip BFFs Duo pairs two Thirst Burst products that work together:
- Thirst Burst Lip Smoothie in Guava (kit exclusive): an exfoliating sugar scrub in a handy stick format. It buffs away dead skin so lips feel soft and smooth. The Smoothie is only available in this duo, which makes it the main new addition.
- Thirst Burst Lip Treatment in Sheer Guava: a squeeze-tube treatment labelled "plump + quench". The tube lists a 1% peptide complex. It delivers a hit of hydration and helps lips look visibly plumper with moisture.
Both share e.l.f.'s guava scent, and they come in a pearly pink tube and stick inside a pink "Smooth + Plump" box with a water-splash print. It's very giftable, and very shelf-worthy.
How to Use the 2-Step Lip Ritual
- Exfoliate. Glide the Lip Smoothie over clean, dry lips and gently buff in small circles. Wipe or rinse away any leftover sugar.
- Hydrate and plump. Squeeze a little Thirst Burst Lip Treatment onto your lips and smooth it on for a glossy, cushiony finish.
Pro tips:
- Do the full ritual in the evening a few times a week, and use the Lip Treatment on its own whenever lips feel thirsty.
- Prep before lipstick or liner. Scrubbed, hydrated lips make matte formulas apply more evenly.
- Be gentle. If your lips are cracked or irritated, skip the scrub until they've healed.
Is the Price Worth It?
The duo costs £11. The Thirst Burst Lip Treatment sold on its own is £7 at e.l.f. Cosmetics UK, in Sheer Guava (pink), Sheer Blue Hibiscus (blue) and Clear Pomelo (clear). For a few pounds more, the duo adds a kit-exclusive scrub you can't get any other way. That makes it a smart pick for lip-care fans and a great stocking filler. Because it's limited edition, it's worth grabbing before it sells out.
