r.e.m. beauty Essential Drip Glossy Balm — Skinny Dipped sheer tint, hyaluronic hydration

r.e.m. beauty Essential Drip Glossy Balm in Skinny Dipped is a hyaluronic-acid infused, high-shine tinted lip balm that hydrates, adds sheer color, and delivers a smooth glossy finish without stickiness.

This hybrid gloss-balm from r.e.m. beauty by ariana grande blends skincare-forward ingredients with cosmetic payoff. Formulated with hydrating hyaluronic acid and antioxidant-rich super fruit extracts, it’s designed to moisturize the lips while providing a sheer, juicy tint called Skinny Dipped. The lightweight texture sits comfortably on lips, and the dual-sided applicator lets you layer or define with precision.

How does this balm hydrate lips while still feeling like a gloss?

The formula balances emollients and humectants: hyaluronic acid draws in moisture while nourishing oils and butters lock it in for a non-greasy glossy finish. You get visible shine that feels lightweight rather than tacky.

• Contains hyaluronic acid to attract and retain moisture
• Super fruit antioxidants help comfort the lip surface
• Non-sticky, silky texture for all-day wear
• Glossier look without heavy residue

Will Skinny Dipped show up opaque or subtle on my lips?

Skinny Dipped delivers a sheer wash of color with high shine rather than full coverage pigment. It enhances your natural lip tone with a juicy, lit-from-within effect that layers easily over lipstick or worn alone for a polished, effortless look.

• Sheer color payoff for a natural finish
• Buildable—add layers for slightly more intensity
• Works as a topper over matte or neutral shades
• Gives a plumper, glossy appearance

How does the applicator help with coverage and definition?

The dual-ended wand features a paddle side for broad, seamless application and a contoured side for precise edge work. This design speeds up application and makes it simple to switch between overall shine and sharp lip definition without additional tools.

• Paddle side for smooth, even gloss application
• Contoured edge for crisp lip lines and corners
• Ideal for quick touch-ups on the go
• Reduces product waste and smudging

• Cruelty-free formula consistent with brand values
