What's New
Frosty is a limited-edition addition to the Winky Lux lip balm line for Holiday 2026. Winky Lux describes it as a sheer, hydrating balm with a silver shimmer for a "frosty," light-catching glow, and a "fresh baked sugar cookie flavor." The box labels it a "Silver Shimmer Lip Topper," which reflects its two intended uses: worn alone, or layered over another lip colour.
It launched alongside Reindeer Fuel, a red-and-white swirled peppermint candy-cane balm, also $19, which we covered here. Ulta tags Frosty as New and sells it online only, not in stores.
What the Brand Says
According to Winky Lux, the formula contains two key ingredients:
- Sunflower Seed Oil: the brand says it hydrates dry lips and locks in moisture
- Vitamin E (listed as tocopheryl acetate): the brand says it helps protect and nourish lips
The brand describes the balm as clean, vegan and cruelty-free, with plastic-neutral packaging. The Ulta and brand listings say it is formulated without parabens, gluten, phthalates or sulfates.
Key Details
- The full ingredient list includes Aroma/Flavor/Parfum and vanillin, which is relevant for anyone who avoids fragrance in lip products.
- The shimmer comes from synthetic fluorphlogopite, and the product may contain titanium dioxide (CI 77891).
- Waxes in the formula include synthetic beeswax and candelilla wax.
- Made in China.
How to Wear It
Winky Lux suggests two ways to apply it:
- On bare lips: swipe on for a subtle shimmer.
- As a topper: layer it over a lipstick, gloss or tinted balm to add sparkle.
The brand describes the formula as buildable, so extra layers increase the shimmer.
Sleigh All Day Holiday Lip Balm Kit
Frosty also comes in the Sleigh All Day Holiday Lip Balm Kit with Reindeer Fuel. The kit costs $29. Buying the two balms separately would cost $38, the value Ulta lists. The kit is listed at both Winky Lux and Ulta (sold out on winkylux.com as of 5 October 2026).
