See Why This Under-$10 Lip Product Has Over 17,000 5-Star Reviews
amazon.com, amazon.com
The name is slightly deceiving if you're expecting a true lip oil: This is more of a lip gloss in terms of formula and thickness, but I find the feel of the 'lip drip' to be somewhere in between the two. It's not as sticky and gloopy as many other glosses I've tried, but also not as thin and watery as other lip oils. Even Nyx appears to agree, based on the product descriptions that refer interchangeably to the product as a lip gloss and oil. Regardless of what category the Fat Oil is part of, I love how soft and hydrated it makes my lips.
I'm definitely not the only one with that opinion, either. The gloss has gained over 17,000 5-star reviews on Amazon, and more than 2,000 at Ulta and Target each. Reviews love to call out the sweet but not overpowering scent and taste, the affordability compared to other glosses, and the hydrating quality. The formula includes squalene, raspberry, and cloudberry oils, and promises to deliver up to 12 hours of hydration and protection.
I'll be honest and admit I have had to reapply several times throughout the day, mostly after eating, but my lips weren't dry or chapped even after it rubbed off. Plus, I don't really mind reapplying since the giant, soft doe foot applicator is kind of fun — it makes a very satisfying popping noise when you pull it out of the tube.
One of my favorite aspects of this gloss is the color — my go-to shade is Missed Call, a lighter pink shade. The gloss is sheer but buildable, and delivers a gorgeous wash of color that brings a little more life back to my face. It's also subtle enough to look natural when I don't feel like wearing other makeup. That shade became the solution to my frankly overcrowded collection of lip balms and glosses, because now I reach for it regardless of where I'm going.
If you're tempted to try out the Fat Oil Lip Drip, just do it. At this price and with this many shades, I can't encourage it enough. I carry my tube around in every bag, and once this one's empty, too, I definitely plan on buying another... and maybe a few more, to try out all the different colors. Keep reading for more reviews of this beloved gloss, or just add it to your cart and prepare to join me in my Fat Oil devotion.

'I bought this in the first place to buy a lip oil that was cute and not expensive. I got it because I wanted the shade berry from the Dior lip oil, but I realized it was 40 dollars! Don't wait another second by this now! The texture is more of a gloss than a lip oil, and it's not sticky at all! They have all types of shades, and it also smells soooooo good. This is great quality and also the shine it has is outstanding! Good for kids and teens, too. Totally buy! Gloss it's soooo affordable!' — Whitney
'I have used this lip oil for a few years, and I love it! I usually have several bottles open. I t works well to give your lips time to repair themselves without cracking more. It does not dry your lips out like most other chapsticks and leaves them feeling soft after it has worn off/soaked in. It does feel heavy once you put it on, but that feeling does not last very long.' — Makayla
"The cold weather and dry indoors made my lips start cracking and peeling. They were starting to burn when I ate anything. I tried the usual lip balms and Burt's Bees. Nothing made them feel or get better. I began to use my splash of cream and immediately felt the burning go away. Two days of applying every six hours or so and no more peeling! Feel so much better and softer. I'm a huge fan." — Michelle Miller
"I love this lipgloss!! It gives a great glossy shine, and I love the texture. It's thick but not too thick where you can't separate your lips, and the color is gorgeous! It's my favorite lipgloss, and I sometimes use it as blush!" — Jacqueline Franco

Deter wasps naturally — this fragrant plant is my secret weapon for keeping pests away from my yard
Imagine sitting outside with friends and family during a warm, balmy evening, when all of a sudden your enjoyment is interrupted by uninvited wasps. What had started as a peaceful gathering suddenly turns into a frenzied battle against against the pests, who don't have any sense of what is socially acceptable. If this sounds familiar, and you're fed up with wasps invading your outside space in the summer, snacking at your food, and sipping your sugary drinks, there are natural methods you can follow to get rid of wasps to stop you heading back indoors. Rather than using sprays and unnatural baits that can harm the pests, you can employ this natural method, which offers benefits beyond deterring wasps. While wasps drive us to distraction, Liam Cleary, outdoor plants expert at Old Railway Line Garden Centre, says there is one common garden plant that will stop the pests spoiling our fun, and it will also save you from spending out on expensive pest control. According to Clearly, planting lavender is a simple and affordable solution that looks great and keeps wasps from hanging around your garden. 'Wasps are highly sensitive to strong scents, and lavender is one they really don't like. Planting it near seating areas, doorways, or patios can help mask the smells that attract them, like food, sugary drinks, or perfumes,' he says. Lavender is also the perfect plant for dry conditions, as it's drought-resistant and can tolerate hot, dry summers that we're currently experiencing. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. This Felco bypass pruner is perfect for medium-sized hands and comes with a comfortable ergonomic handle. It has a sturdy design, yet is lightweight and gives a consistent performance. What's more, this pruner is given a 5-star rating in our best pruning shears buying guide. Lavender contains essential oils such as linalool and camphor, which give it its distinctive floral scent. While it's pleasant to humans — and pollinators like bees and butterflies — it's overwhelming to wasps, which rely heavily on scent to detect food. What's more, lavender is also one of the scents that repels mosquitoes and keeps them out of your home — it's a multi-tasking pest deterrent. Apart from its capacity to repel wasps, lavender is also one of the easiest and most rewarding plants to grow. I have several lavender bushes in my backyard, which are planted in pots and flowerbeds, planted singularly and grouped together to form low hedging. What's more, lavender is an inexpensive plant to buy, and if you're not looking for an instant result, you can grow it from seed. A packet of English Lavender seeds from PowerGrow Systems costs $2 at Amazon. Alternatively, you can purchase a 4-pack of lavender at Amazon for $24. Cleary is a fan, and says, 'It's low maintenance, smells incredible, and keeps your garden feeling calm, all while helping you enjoy a wasp-free zone.' Lavender will do best if grown in certain conditions, so to help it stay healthy and thrive, Cleary recommends following these four expert tips. 1. Choose a sunny spot Lavender loves full sun and well-drained soil, so avoid shaded or damp areas. 2. Go for pots or raised planters These make it easier to move the plants where needed, and work brilliantly on patios or balconies. 3. Don't overwater Lavender is drought-tolerant and prefers slightly dry conditions. Overwatering can cause it to wilt or rot. 4. Pair it with other natural deterrents If you're prone to wasp visits, try planting lavender alongside mint, thyme, or lemongrass for an extra layer of protection.

This plush mattress topper transformed my bed and saved me from neck and back pain — and it costs less than $60
Once upon a time, my husband and I were sleeping on a really hard Queen-sized mattress. Almost every night I would toss and turn, waking up with a stiff back and neck. It wasn't fun. I complained to my husband — a lot. "Why didn't you just buy a new mattress?" you're probably thinking. Well, here's the scenario — we didn't want to buy a new king-sized bed — and all the accompanying bedroom furniture — until we bought our forever house. And we didn't want to invest in one of the best mattresses that we would only use for a year or so either before we'd move out. Finally, one night, while I was lost in the black hole that is Amazon Prime, I started looking at mattress toppers. I went straight to the page for Amazon's Choice products, which I've found to be a good starting point of well-priced and well-reviewed products. I found my favorite leggings this way, so I figured it would be a good way to find the best mattress topper, too. This is how I found the Linenspa 2-Inch Gel Infused Memory Foam Mattress Topper: a soft mattress topper that turned my bed from a hard plank to a squishy oasis. The best part? The mattress topper cost me just a little less than $60. Design The Linenspa mattress topper has a simple design: it's essentially a sheet of memory foam that goes right on top of your mattress. There's no straps to connect it to your bed: simply unroll it and it's good to go. The mattress topper is made of memory foam infused with cooling gel. The foams are CertiPUR-US certified, meaning they're free of dangerous chemicals, and the entire topper is Oeko-Tex Certified. It's available in two heights: two inches and three inches. The two-inch version is typically better if you prefer a medium-firm feel, while the three-inch version is best if you like ultimate plushness. The Linenspa mattress topper comes in a plethora of sizes from twin to California king, including twin XL, full XL, and short queen. Our review of the Linenspa Mattress Topper The mattress topper arrived the next day in vacuum-sealed packaging and was easy to unroll. It was easy for me to carry as it's less than 10 pounds, but if you have any trouble carrying that weight, I'd suggest getting a friend or family member to help. The mattress topper looked super flat at first but then quickly expanded to its full two-inches. The pad itself is blue, and the memory foam is infused with a cooling gel that supposedly captures and distributes body heat in order to help regulate temperature and keep you cool at night. I didn't really notice this aspect of the topper a lot since I just wanted to sleep on a softer surface, but my husband and I both sleep hot and we didn't wake up sweaty so I guess it helped a little. Depending on when you get your topper, I'd suggest opening it in the morning, placing it on your bed, and allowing it to "breathe" for several hours before sleeping on it. Some reviewers complain that it has an odor because it was vacuum-sealed, but I didn't experience that. Some mattress toppers come with a cover, but this one doesn't, so you might want to order one. Alternatively, you can place it under a mattress pad, which is what I did. Or you can just place it directly on your mattress and put your bed sheets on top. The first night sleeping on our doctored-up bed was honestly pretty awesome. While I can't say it was like sleeping on a cloud, it definitely transformed our hard slab to a plusher, more body-conforming mattress and we felt like we were sleeping on a new mattress. After sleeping on the bed for several weeks, my husband noticed that my back and neck pain complaints subsided substantially too. In retrospect, I should have gone with the three-inch version instead for a little more cushioning. After several months, the topper is still in great condition and has definitely made our mattress much more comfortable. I haven't noticed any sagging or denting either. Cons to consider While the mattress topper was extremely comfortable, it's worth noting that it doesn't come with straps to attach to your bed. If you're a restless sleeper, this might pose a problem, as the topper is more likely to shift around on your bed. Also, it can be difficult to know if the two-inch or three-inch topper is best for you. After trying it, I'd recommend the three-inch topper if you want a plush feel. What are your alternatives? The best budget pick in our best mattress topper guide is the Lucid Bamboo Memory Foam Topper. Like the Linenspa topper, it's a simple sheet of memory foam. It performed well in our cooling and motion isolation tests. Plus, it's super plush and has three thickness options. The bottom line The Linenspa mattress topper was an incredibly small investment for such a huge improvement in our quality of sleep. I'm really glad that I didn't spend hundreds of dollars on a topper, especially because this one worked just fine. As I mentioned before, if I could go back in time I might've chosen the plusher three-inch option, which only costs $20 more. But we're still happy with our two-inch topper and now my husband doesn't have to listen to me complain about my neck and back.
