r.e.m. beauty Essential Drip Glossy Balm lip balm — Cotton Candy PH, hydrating high-shine

Essential Drip Glossy Balm in Cotton Candy PH is a hydrating, high-shine lip balm that gives a sheer pink tint, juicy gloss finish, and skin-friendly hydration with hyaluronic acid.

Made by r.e.m. beauty by Ariana Grande, this product blends the comfort of a moisturizing treatment with the instant shine and subtle color of a gloss. It's formulated to feel lightweight, avoid stickiness, and support lip texture using hyaluronic acid and fruit-derived antioxidants. The double-sided wand offers both broad coverage and precise definition, making it easy to wear alone or layered over lipstick.

How does this balm hydrate without feeling heavy?

The formula combines moisture-attracting hyaluronic acid with nourishing emollients to lock in hydration while keeping the finish light. It absorbs quickly so lips feel comfortable instead of weighed down, yet it preserves a glossy look.

• Hyaluronic acid helps attract and hold moisture in the lip surface
• Lightweight emollients deliver smooth glide without greasy residue
• Non-sticky glossy film for comfortable, all-day wear

• Buildable coverage—wear it sheer or layer for more color intensity

What makes the applicator design useful for everyday use?

The two-sided applicator combines a paddle for fast, even coverage with a contoured edge for precise shaping around the cupid’s bow. This hybrid design speeds up your routine and reduces the need for additional tools.

• Paddle side covers lips evenly in one swipe
• Contoured side defines edges and corrects small mistakes
• Easy application whether you’re at home or on-the-go
