Winky Lux has released Frosty the Lip Balm, a limited-edition $19 silver-shimmer lip balm for Holiday 2026. It first appeared on winkylux.com on 29 September 2026 and is also available online at Ulta Beauty. The sheer, sugar cookie-flavoured balm is part of the brand's holiday lip balm drop, alongside the peppermint-themed Reindeer Fuel.

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:

1. On bare lips: swipe on for a subtle shimmer.
2. 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).

Winky Lux has released Reindeer Fuel Lip Balm, a limited-edition, candy-cane-inspired tinted balm priced at $19 and available now online at Ulta Beauty and on winkylux.com. The red-and-white swirled balm has a peppermint flavour and a sheer rosy tint, and it joins the brand's line of seasonal, dessert-themed lip balms.

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.

Where to Buy

• US: Winky Lux ($19.00), Ulta Beauty ($19.00, online only)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Not yet confirmed

Because this is a limited-edition holiday product, stock may not be replenished once it sells out.
