What's New
Reindeer Fuel is a holiday addition to the Winky Lux flavoured balm lineup, which already includes seasonal options such as Pumpkin Spice Latte and Apple Cider Donut. The design is based on the classic candy cane: a red and white swirl inside a red bullet-shaped tube with WINKY LUX printed on the side. The outer carton carries a festive "Reindeer Fuel" print.
Winky Lux describes the product as a "limited-edition holiday treat." The brand says the sheer rosy tint gives a natural, wearable red, and that the peppermint flavour leaves a cooling feel on the lips. Ulta Beauty lists the product with "New" and "Online only" badges. There are no customer reviews on the Ulta listing yet.
Key Ingredients
The brand positions the balm as a hybrid of colour and lip care. According to Winky Lux, the formula contains:
- Ceramides (five types, including Ceramide NP and EOP), which the brand says help strengthen the lip barrier and lock in moisture
- Hyaluronic acid, a humectant the brand says helps seal moisture into the lips
- Jojoba oil and meadowfoam seed oil, which the brand says soften the lips and help prevent moisture loss without a greasy feel
- Vitamin E, described as providing antioxidant protection
- Niacinamide and vitamin B5 (panthenol), which Winky Lux says support the skin barrier and soothe dry lips
The full ingredient list also includes menthol, along with flavour/fragrance components such as limonene and linalool.
What the Brand Says
Winky Lux describes Reindeer Fuel as clean, vegan and cruelty-free, with plastic-neutral packaging. Per the brand's Ulta listing, it is formulated without parabens, gluten, phthalates and sulfates. According to winkylux.com, the balm is made in China.
How to Use
The brand recommends swiping the balm onto the lips whenever they need hydration. Reapply throughout the day to refresh the tint and the peppermint flavour. Because the colour is sheer, it can be worn alone.
