There is absolutely no question that I truly love HOURGLASS Cosmetics, and they have consistently thrilled me with their beautiful and thoughtfully crafted products. Their Nº 28 Lip Treatment Oil (reviewed here) has been a staple for me since it launched, and the mere thought that they would add a tint of color to this miraculous formula was a monumental thrill for me. I know this may sound like an exaggeration, but I am utterly obsessed with beauty oils, and one that is specifically formulated for the lips is nothing short of a coup for me! Therefore, adding a gorgeous tint to an outstanding formula is the  perfect pairing.

HOURGLASS Nº 28 Tinted Lip Treatment Oil in Icon (Limited Edition for Holiday 2015) boasts the same magnificent formula as their original, but with the addition their gorgeous signature Icon shade. Icon is the perfect blue-based red that can be worn alone, or on top of your favorite lipstick, lip liner or lip stain. It offers the perfect wash of color while it conditions, nourishes and deeply moisturizes the lips. Furthermore, this ultra-luxe oil blend improves the appearance of fine lines and has a slightly plumping effect without any discomfort. My lips have never been more soft and supple than when I use the Hourglass Nº 28 Lip Treatment Oil, and I'm thrilled to say that Icon does the same, but instead with a gorgeous wash of color.

According to HOURGLASS,
