I Tried the Black Lip Balm All Over TikTok – 5 Reasons Why I Love It

Start Here

When I asked my boyfriend if I could borrow his lip balm after dinner a few weeks ago, I thought nothing of it. When he handed it over, I noticed the sleek packaging. And when I used it, I noticed that it’s perfectly lightweight, extremely hydrating, and leaves a flattering natural tint. Now, I’m noticing it everywhere. 

It’s Harry’s viral Black Lip Balm, made with Korean skincare technology, and it works with your skin's natural pH to revive healthy looking lips. I’m certifiably obsessed, and I now have a tube in every bag I own. Here are five reasons why I love it – and think you will, too.

1. One Swipe, All-Day Hydration

I’ll cut to the chase: Harry’s Black Lip Balm actually lasts. One swipe in the morning, and my lips stay smooth and hydrated all day. That’s because it’s packed with Korean Skincare Technology (aha!) and Meadowfoam Oil to deeply moisturize and protect against dryness – unlike the usual chapsticks that disappear in an hour.

2. Skincare-Level Ingredients That Actually Work

Harry’s didn’t just slap some wax together and call it a day. This balm is infused with Meadowfoam Oil, antioxidants, and fatty acids – ingredients you’d expect in high-end skincare – to actually repair and nourish your lips over time. Plus, it’s vegan and cruelty-free, so you can feel good about what you’re putting on your lips.

3. A Magic Trick For Your Lips

This balm looks bold in the tube, but on your lips: totally natural. It reacts to your skin’s pH, enhancing your natural lip color without any shine or greasiness. The result: soft, healthy-looking lips with a barely-there matte finish. I put it on before my usual lip routine, and the result is *chef’s kiss.*

4. Understated Packaging For The Win

A black tube for a lip balm? Unheard of – and yet, so cool. Harry’s ditched the loud branding for something sleek and understated, making it a minimalist’s dream.

5. Premium Formula, Drugstore Price

A two-pack is only $20, which is pretty wild – especially when you compare it to other high-end balms that don’t do half as much. If you want to stock up, the pricing gets even better – 3 for $27 or 4 for $32. When I said I have one in every bag, I wasn’t lying.
