Vanilla Toffee

Vanilla Toffee is your everyday, goes-with-everything nude lip with a twist—it’s a light beige tone that’s subtle yet buildable, so you can keep it sheer or swipe on more for extra warmth. The best part? It’s super versatile. On fair skin, it brings a soft, milky nude vibe; on medium tones, it adds that warm, creamy glow; and on deeper skin, it pops as the perfect neutral beige.

And let’s not forget the flavor! Each swipe comes with a sweet hint of vanilla toffee that makes reapplying feel like a treat. Whether you’re going for “barely there” or “buttery nude glam,” this shade is a definite go-to.

Strawberry Shortcake

For the days you want a pop of playful pink, Strawberry Shortcake has you covered. This soft pink tint is ultra-flattering on every skin tone. From sweet and delicate on fair skin to fresh and juicy on medium and deep tones, it blends into a wide variety of tones and acts as the perfect pink to brighten your look without overpowering it.

This balm is also lightly flavored with a sweet strawberry note that makes every swipe delicious—literally. Wear it sheer for a kiss of color or build it up for that just-bitten strawberry pout.

Wild Cherry

Wild Cherry is the classic red you always need on hand—bold enough to make a statement, but buildable so you control the depth. Swipe on a single layer for a juicy hint of cherry red or layer it up for that fresh, just-ate-a-cherry-popsicle look.

On fair skin, Wild Cherry pops with a playful flush; on medium tones, it gives that timeless, vibrant red vibe; and on deeper skin, it turns into the ultimate rich, brightening red. It’s truly a one-shade-fits-all hero.

And yes, it tastes as good as it looks—each swipe comes with a sweet cherry scent that feels fresh and fun to reapply. Keep Wild Cherry in your makeup bag for an instant pick-me-up whenever you want to turn the glow all the way up.

Blackberry Sorbet

Into more of a moody lip look? Blackberry Sorbet is your shade. One swipe of this deep black cherry tint gives a sheer wash of juicy color, while a few extra layers turn it into a lush, rich tint that’s bold but totally wearable.

On fair skin, Blackberry Sorbet brings a cool, edgy berry vibe; on medium tones, it transforms into a sultry deep plum; and on deeper skin, it’s the perfect everyday dark cherry tint that makes lips pop with dimension. Plus, the sweet berry scent is basically dessert for your lips.

Yummy Gummy

Yummy Gummy is your perfect playful plum—rich, juicy, and just sweet enough to wear every day. This buildable shade goes on sheer for a subtle berry flush or layers up to a bold plum pout that still feels effortless.

When it comes to wear, Yummy Gummy is a super adaptable shade. On fair skin, it brings a fresh berry tint; on medium skin, it turns into a sweet, rich plum; and on deeper tones, it’s a gorgeous, glossy purple that enhances your natural lip color beautifully.

As for the flavor, there’s a fun fruity gummy candy scent that makes swiping it on feel nostalgic and delicious. Keep Yummy Gummy in your pocket for when you want a swipe of color that feels cute, luscious, and playful all at once.

Java Chip

Calling all coffee lovers—Java Chip is your must-have for a deep, moody lip moment. This dark brown shade is fully buildable, so you can keep it soft and sheer for a natural earthy tint or layer it up for a bold, rich cocoa look.

Though it’s a darker shade, it truly works on all skin tones. On fair skin, Java Chip gives a cool, edgy twist; on medium tones, it pulls warm and dimensional; and on deeper skin, it’s that dreamy chocolate tint that enhances your natural glow.

For the flavor, think subtle mocha sweetness—like your favorite coffee order, but for your lips. If you love a 90s-inspired brown lip or just want something different from the usual pinks and reds, Java Chip is the go-to for rich, confident color.

Create Your Perfect Lip Combo

The secret to taking your lip makeup look to the next level? Pair it with a lip liner for the ultimate custom lip look. Any shade from the Glow Reviver lineup can be turned into your perfect everyday lip combo when you match it with a complementary liner.

For a seamless, natural look, pick a Cream Glide Lip Liner shade that’s close to your lip balm shade for a soft, blended look. Craving more drama or a defined pout? Go a shade or two deeper with your liner to add instant depth, dimension, and that effortlessly plumped-up effect.

A little liner + a juicy balm swipe = a hydrated and plump, your-lips-but-better look.
