L’Oreal Glow Paradise Lip Balm-in-Gloss Review & Swatches
L’Oreal Glow Paradise Lip Balm-in-Gloss is a new hybrid formula lipgloss that has the color and shine of a gloss but the texture of a creamy lip balm with a moisturizing formula that contains pomegranate extract and hyaluronic acid. This formula kind of reminds me of the old Almay Liquid Lip Balm but has a much nicer consistency!
I’m prone to drier lips which means I tend to go with moisturizing lipglosses. I also prefer a shinier lip look and these are a perfect combination of a gloss and a balm with the color and shine of a lipgloss but the hydration of a lip balm.
The best part is they are on sale this week at both Ulta and Target. At Ulta you can snag them for Buy 1, Get 1 50% off, and at Target you can get them Buy 1, Get 1 25% Off!
L’Oreal Glow Paradise Lip Balm-in-Gloss is available in 12 shades and is currently part of the L’Oreal main catalog of lipglosses and lipsticks. The price on these varies and can set you back anywhere from $12 to $8 per shade and each shade is 0.23 oz in size. As you can see they are quite lovely to look at. They come in a tapered barrel with a very generous-sized flocked sponge applicator that has a nice bit of bend to it which allows it to glide across the contour of lips easily. They also feature a very pretty rose gold cap that gives them a really luxurious look.
I fell in love with this formula at first application. The formula is light, creamy, and has a slightly balmy consistency that’s very moisturizing on lips. They aren’t incredibly lightweight but they wear quite lovely and feel very hydrating through the wear. The thing I liked most about them is the fact they manage to retain both their shine and moisture throughout the wear. Each one I tried was very pigmented and provided excellent color with a nice glossiness. The wear time was fairly good for me at around three hours without eating or drinking. They are, unfortunately, like most lipglosses, not transfer-proof. But this isn’t an issue for me in the least as I’m perfectly fine with reapplication if it means I can retain that great moisture through the wear. I didn’t detect much of a flavor or a fragrance here but I do believe there is a tiny, little bit of rose that I was able to detect but nothing too dramatic. L’Oreal has seemed to really tone down their fragrance and flavor lately which I’m forever grateful. I had no issues with stickiness from this formula! My lips looked supple, smooth, and shiny after application.

Where to buy
L’Oreal Glow Paradise Lip Balm-in-Gloss is a relatively new lipgloss formula that’s available in 12 permanent shades which are 0.23 oz in size and priced at around $7.99-$10.99 per shade. This formula combines the benefits of a moisturizing lip balm into a lipgloss formula that provides shine, color, and hydration. I absolutely loved the consistency of this formula. It was hydrating with a lightly creamy texture that applied beautifully smooth on my dry lips. It has an excellent color payoff, a good deal of shine, and wears for around three hours without losing moisture, color, or shine. It isn’t transfer-proof and does have a very, very light rose-like flavor but it wasn’t terribly noticeable.
- Great color range.
- Moisturizing!
- Awesome color and shine.
- A perfect hybrid formula of a gloss and a balm all-in-one.
- Very light flavor.
L’Oreal Glow Paradise Lip Balm-in-Gloss is a must-have for anyone with drier lips!
