The holiday season calls for a lipstick that looks stunning, feels amazing and lasts through every party, dinner and kiss-hello moment. While you can call me a lipstick hoarder (I carry about five in my purse at all times), the Thrive Causemetics Impact-FULL Smoothing Lipstick ($26) checks all the boxes for hydration and color payoff. This super comfortable and long-lasting lippie has officially earned the main spot in my holiday lip routine.
Benefits
This lipstick stands out for its buttery, smooth texture that glides on easily without tugging on my lips. The hydration is impressive—it keeps my lips soft throughout the day without drying them out, which is a big deal for someone like me who battles chapped lips in winter. It’s comfortable to wear for hours and even when it starts to fade, it does so evenly, leaving behind a soft stain rather than patches.
Key Ingredients
The smoothing lippie features a blend of peptides, sodium hyaluronate and raspberry seed oil to plump and moisturize the lips, along with shea butter and vitamin E for added conditioning and a botanical oil blend for deep hydration. Plus, it’s vegan and cruelty-free, which is always a bonus.
The Bottom Line
Thrive Causemetics Impact-FULL Smoothing Lipstick gives me the bold color I absolutely love for the holidays along with that hydrating, smooth look no matter what condition my lips are really in. Whether I’m headed to a fancy party or just want to look pulled together for family dinner, this is the one I’m going to grab to accessorize my look.
