If your main concern avoiding flakey or dry lips, consider the ABH Liquid Lipstick available in almost 20 colors. "Its matte finish is totally budge-proof, I barely have to reapply even after eating, and I always get a million compliments when I wear it," says Deputy Editor Jessica Teich. While it's a bit pricier than other Amazon lip products, the splurge may just be worth it for a long-lasting look.

L'Oréal Paris strikes again with this top-rated product our experts love. "I cannot get enough of this liquid lip," says Senior Chemist Danusia Wnek.

Another GH Beauty Award winner, the lightweight lipstick contains jojoba oil and vitamin E to help hydrate lips. Consumer testers found that it didn't feather, a huge plus when choosing a new lipstick. Note that the hydrating finish can move a bit when eating or drinking, so you may want to apply after your morning coffee and breakfast.

GH Engineer Nikolas Greenwald says this is the only lip balm you need in your bag. At about $10 each, the Amazon's Choice lip cream is worth it thanks to a hydrating formula. Olive oil, aloe vera and squalene soothe and hydrate lips. We like that it's fragrance-free and that you can apply over lipstick for added moisture.

"It glides on easily like a lip balm and has a sheerer semi-glossy finish that doesn't feel heavy or cakey on the lips," says GH Analyst Amanda Constantine, who adds that the smell is irresistible. The product is just as popular among online shoppers. "This is the perfect soft red that feels creamy and luxurious going on and has incredible payout. I blotted, drank my morning coffee, and it still looks great," writes one Amazon five-star review. Explore the nine shades and save on the budget-friendly price tag.

103,000+ Amazon ratings speak for themselves: "Not at all sticky or gooey! I like the way that this glides on my lips," one five star review writes, while another chimes in: "It feels moisturizing, pigment is vibrant and lasts pretty well for a gloss." We like that you can chose from over two dozen colors — not to mention the price is perfection at under $6! Slip the small tube in your pocket or purse for easy access when you want to reapply.

Hydrating Core Lip Shine

An Amazon's Choice e.l.f. product, this lip shine has an adorable heart-shaped core perfect for Valentine's Day that's more than just cute: it has nourishing ingredients while the outer part offers a hint of color. One satisfied shopper writes, "If you don't really like lipsticks or super glossy lip gloss and want something right in the middle, this is it!"

mega hydrating lip mask

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

Lip Sleeping Mask

Lip masks add a certain je ne sais quoi to your lip care regimen. One GH editor finds that the mask helps smooth her lips overnight but she wishes that the price was lower given the small pot size, although it frequently goes on sale and you don't need much product per use. The strawberry scent is delicious as well!

Looking to treat yourself to a red lip that will end all red lips?

It is a pricier lip product, but the vibrant color and sumptuous feel may be worth the splurge.

fan favorite lip relief

Aquaphor Lip Repair Ointment

Lip Repair Ointment

The #1 best-seller on Amazon is also a favorite among GH editors who pull out Aquaphor on a regular basis, especially during the winter months. The fragrance-free formula contains shea butter and chamomile essence to help repair chapped lips. "My roommate makes fun of me for how often I apply Aquaphor to my lips, but it's a lifesaver," says one GH editor. "I used to be a Vasline girlie but no longer!"

This 2-in-1 tint by Benefit is a top-seller. The water-like formula lends itself to being buildable on lips and cheeks. Add on more layers for a more intense pop of color, or let sit and wipe off for a subtle glow. One GH editor found that one coat lasted six hours! Supplement with a clear gloss or wear as is. While this lip product is pricier than other drugstore picks, keep in mind that you're really getting two products!

Commerce Editor Jacqueline Saguin recently discovered this product and loves wearing it for a subtle hint of red. "Its cushiony doe-foot applicator applies a smooth layer of pigment," she says. We love the $8 price point and that it's available in Crystal Clear if you want a totally sheer lip look.

One GH editor doesn't often opt for gloss as she often finds it to be too sticky. "Not the case with this formula by Maybelline. The applicator is so cushiony and the gloss gives my lips a shiny glow. I hardly feel it on my lips!" Constantine agrees, adding that it has "The perfect glossy finish that’s shiny but not sticky and [it] doesn’t cling to my dry patches."

If you want to spice up your life, consider the Lifter Gloss Plump which contains chili pepper to give a plumping effect. Our editor tried the Plump version as well but found the sensation to be a bit intense — even her partner felt the spice after a kiss!

high-end lip pencil

NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil

Velvet Matte Lip Pencil

Although expensive, this expert favorite is essentially a 2-in-1 product. The pencil offers both the precision of a liner and the luscious look of a lipstick. GH Beauty Editor Dori Price calls this her go-to red lip color. "It’s a real true red with blue undertones (bonus: makes your teeth look whiter!) that is super flattering on my fair skin." What's more? It lasts and doesn't dry out your lips! You will need a large pencil sharpener, though.
