I’m so excited to finally share my thoughts on the REESON Beauty Glossing Balm, and yes, I know it’s funny that I’m reviewing my own product! But I review beauty products for you all day, every day, so why not my own? Plus, I want you to have all the information, swatches, and a proper breakdown so you know exactly what to expect. Here is everything you need to know.
What is the REESON Beauty Glossing Balm?
The REESON Glossing Balm is a hybrid lip product that combines the shine of a gloss with the nourishing benefits of skincare. I designed it to deliver:
- A high-gloss, non-sticky finish
- A hit of skincare ingredients
- Hydration softness and skin barrier repair
- Antioxidant protection
- Long lasting moisture
- Comfort-wear formula that’s perfect for everyday use
It’s very much about giving you that juicy, glossy look while treating your lips to a skincare moment at the same time. I’ve actually been working on this formula for over two years, and I’ve personally been using the final formula for the past eight months. In that time, I haven’t suffered from dry lips once!
Skincare Benefits & Key Ingredients
This isn’t just a gloss. It’s a treatment balm too. I wanted the REESON Beauty Glossing Balm to feel as good for your lips as your favourite lip mask, but with the gorgeous shine of a gloss. Here are the key ingredients that make it so special:
Squalane – lightweight, skin-identical lipid that drenches lips in long-lasting moisture, leaving them soft, supple, and never greasy
Ceramide NP – barrier-strengthening powerhouse that helps protect against dryness and restore smooth, healthy lips over time
Vitamin E (Tocopherol & Tocopheryl Acetate) – dual antioxidant works to shield lips from environmental stressors while soothing and conditioning
Tribehenin – derived from Glycerin, a nourishing emollient that adds cushion and comfort, giving the balm its luxuriously smooth, non-sticky texture.
Together, these ingredients ensure that your lips not only look amazing in the moment but also feel healthier over time.
REESON Glossing Balm Shades & Swatches
I created to super pretty and universal shades for the initial launch of the REESON Glossing Balm and I am so happy with them.
- Dewy Rose – fresh, youthful soft pink with a hint of shimmer that instantly brightens the complexion. Super flattering on all skin tones, soft and super wearable.
- Dewy Nude – warm, caramel-toned nude with a glossy finish. Enhances the natural lip colour and works with all skin tones and makeup looks.
I’ll pop in swatches of both shades here so you can see the difference. Both shades have that cushiony, hydrating texture and sheer-to-buildable payoff, so they adapt beautifully whether you want a subtle tint or extra gloss. They’re super wearable, versatile, and can be applied on their own or over lip liner/lipstick for extra dimension.
My Review of REESON Beauty Glossing Balms
So as I said at the beginning, I have been testing various iterations of this formula for over two years, so I can safely say that I think it is pretty perfect! Here are all the reasons I love it.
Formula & Texture
The Glossing Balm has been formulated with a balance of shine and care. The result? A formula that is:
- Moisturising thanks to Squalane and Ceramides.
- Protective with Vitamin E to fight environmental aggressors.
- Comfortable and cushioned thanks to Tribehenin.
- Skincare-driven – treating lips while you wear it.
It’s a real multitasker: gloss, balm, and lip treatment all in one.
Application & Wear
One of my non-negotiables when creating this formula was the texture. I wanted something glossy but not gloopy, hydrating but not heavy, and most importantly, comfortable to wear.
- The balm glides on effortlessly.
- Gives instant shine and makes lips look plumper.
- Wears beautifully on its own or layered.
- Easy to reapply on the go without needing a mirror.
And personally, having used it daily for 8 months, my lips have been consistently soft and nourished without any hint of dryness.
Packaging
The REESON Beauty Glossing Balm comes in sleek, modern packaging that feels luxe but is also practical. It’s handbag-friendly and designed to look chic when you pull it out for a touch-up.
The soft sponge applicator makes it really easy to use and I find I don’t really need a mirror to apply.
Why I Love It
Obviously, I’m biased (it’s my product!), but I genuinely love this gloss. I created it because I couldn’t find the perfect hybrid lip product that gave me the shine I wanted and the care my lips need. With Squalane, Ceramide NP, Vitamin E, and Tribehenin, it truly delivers on the promise of gloss-meets-skincare. After using it daily for months, I can honestly say it has transformed the condition of my lips. It’s my go-to for throwing in my bag, and I know it’s something I’ll wear every day.
Why REESON Beauty Glossing Balm is the Ultimate Hybrid of Colour & Care
What makes the REESON Beauty Glossing Balm stand out is the unique balance of colour and care. The flattering shades give lips instant gloss and dimension, while the skincare ingredients like Squalane and Ceramide NP work behind the scenes to keep lips hydrated and healthy. It’s a lip gloss that truly doubles as lip care.
