Product Of The Week: Annabelle Fruity Lip Oils

For decades, Annabelle cosmetics have been a drugstore staple crafting fan‑favourite makeup that blends fun with affordable quality—yes, before influencers James Charles and Nikkie de Jager were even a thing. Born and bred in the aisles of pharmacies across Canada, Annabelle remains a go‑to for everything from eyeshadow, mascara and bronzer and now, their brand-new Fruity Lip Oils.

Unlike your trusty lip balm that soothes or a lip gloss that adds shine, these fruity lippies take a juicy twist on nourishment delivering moisture in an ultra‑light, non‑sticky texture while offering a glossy finish that makes every smile look beautiful. Think treatment and shine with no greasy or tacky feel.

Packed with skin‑loving ingredients, the formula is fuelled like vitamin E to nourish and protect. Hyaluronic acid helps lock in hydration and sunflower oil provides a soft, supple texture. Soybean oil and stevia extract help keep lips feeling smooth and conditioned, while a lightweight jelly base ensures the oil never feels heavy.

And then there are the five sumptuous flavours (six, if the rumours about the limited-edition “Green Apple” lip oil launching and leaving this month are true). There’s “Black Cherry,” subtly rich and smelling like summer dessert. “Strawberry,” a sweet classic that tastes as juicy as it sounds. “Peach,” is fresh and slightly tropical. “Watermelon,” is bright with that quintessential picnic vibe. “Mango,” is sweet and tangy and, for a limited time, “Green Apple,” which is as crisp and refreshing as it sounds. Each shade goes on clear with just a hint of glossy colour, so the scent and mood of the flavour take centre stage without overpowering your look.

Annabelle Fruity Lip Oils in “Black Cherry,” “Strawberry,” “Peach,” “Watermelon,” “Mango,” and limited-edition “Green Apple,” $14.49 each, available at Shoppers Drug Mart.
