The Lip Oil
Dior's Lip Glow Oil deepens into a tint that's yours alone, thanks to a pH-reactive, cherry-oil formula — $42. NYX's Fat Oil Lip Drip gives you fixed shades (bolder ones than Dior offers) and the same mirror shine in photos for $10.

Our verdict: the alternative wins. The shine is the same in photos and the shade range is bolder. Dior's custom tint and weightless feel are genuine pleasures — luxury pleasures, at $32 more.
Where the money goes
- The tint: Dior's pH-reactive formula deepens into a custom shade on your lips. NYX's shades are fixed — but bolder than anything Dior offers.
- The feel: Dior is thinner and less sticky; NYX sits a bit thicker, closer to a gloss-oil hybrid.
- The shine: in photos, near-identical mirror shine. What the extra $32 buys is the weightless feel and the couture tube.
