Lip Balm: Latest Posts

LYS Beauty launched the Mini Speak Love 3-piece Lip-Plumping Glossy Lip Balm Set at Sephora in late September 2026, priced at $29 (US). The limited-edition set contains three travel-size versions of the brand's Speak Love Lip-Plumping Glossy Lip Balm in Charismatic, Centered and Audacious. According to LYS Beauty, each balm gives a wash of color, a glossy shine and a visibly fuller-looking pout.

It's part of the LYS Beauty Holiday 2026 Collection, which LYS Beauty announced on 7 October 2026. The set is now also sold at lysbeauty.com for $29.

The Shades

Here is how the three shades appear in the official swatch photos:

• Charismatic: a sheer light pink
• Centered: a warm rosy nude
• Audacious: a deep berry red

LYS Beauty's own website lists seven full-size shades: Diva, CEO (a rosy mauve), Truthful, Visionary, Lucky, Genius and Charismatic. Centered and Audacious are not among the shades listed there.

What's Inside the Formula

LYS Beauty describes Speak Love as "an ultra-nourishing, high-shine juicy lip pen that hydrates and plumps in one swipe." According to the brand, the highlighted ingredients do the following:

• Fruit and Veggie Extract Blend: apple, strawberry, watermelon, kale, spinach, carrot and avocado, combined with vitamin E for antioxidant benefits
• Chia seed oil: helps hydrate and condition chapped lips
• Hyaluronic acid: provides long-lasting hydration
• Cupuacu and shea butters: help restore and comfort dry lips
• Maxi-Lip: visibly plumps and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

The formula is part of the Clean at Sephora program. According to the brand, it hydrates, restores, smooths and visibly plumps lips while leaving a comfortable, nonsticky finish.

How to Wear It

LYS Beauty gives these directions for the balm:

• On its own: Apply the balm directly to bare lips for sheer color and shine.
• As a topper: Wear it over lip liner or lipstick as a high-shine lip topper.
• Build it up: Add layers for more intensity, and reapply as needed.

Shopper feedback: Shoppers reviewing the full-size version mention its buttery texture, glossy shine and scent. Some report that it needs frequent reapplication and that the soft bullet can be hard to control when twisted up.

Full-Size vs Mini

The full-size Speak Love Lip-Plumping Glossy Lip Balm has been available since February 2025. It costs $20 at Sephora and on LYS Beauty. The $29 mini set contains three shades in a smaller 0.06 oz / 1.7 g size, two of which (Centered and Audacious) are not listed among the full-size shades on the brand's website.

• Major Moisture Lip Trio: the brand says the sheer, high-shine balms contain plumping peptides and bakuchiol, and Sephora lists peptides, bakuchiol, sweet almond and coconut oil as key ingredients.
