Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm is a $38 high-gloss, high-shine lip balm with lightweight texture and good color payoff, available in 20 shades. One creator calls it "pretty perfect" and notes it feels moisturizing with a lacquer-like finish that shows up on lips. It's a splurge, but the combination of pigment and hydration makes it a solid choice for those wanting a glossy, comfortable balm.

- “I've used these for years”23:22–23:25
- “If I do feel like my lips are so dry, and no matter what I put on, they're going to look crackly. They're going to look weird. They're going to look not great. There is a good chance that they will look good when I have these on”23:24–23:28
- “So many shades to choose from”23:35–23:40
- “They have this really gorgeous kind of plush, cushiony texture to them”23:37–23:43
- “They do feel like a gloss and a balm. Glossy enough to be called a gloss, but they're also balmy enough and stay on the lips enough to be a balm. So, they really are a perfect marriage of those two categories”23:41–23:50
