Clean Fresh Squishy Glaze Lip Butter Balm
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
CoverGirl Clean Fresh Squishy Glaze Lip Butter Balm is one of the most hydrating drugstore options, with a glossy, non-greasy texture that feels like a makeup gloss rather than Vaseline. Former professional makeup artist Morgan Turner calls it "by far the best one at the drugstore that I've tried," praising the phenomenal flavors and true hydration. However, Skyler Renee found it didn't last long and wasn't very hydrating, so longevity may vary.
