Lancôme Lip Idôle 3614274169805 Butterglow Hydrating Lip Balm with Squalane
Product description
Add a glossy wash of color to a quick everyday makeup look with Lancôme Lip Idôle Butterglow. Its balm texture combines buildable pigment with a swipe-on shine, so you can keep the finish sheer or layer it for more color.
The formula features 12% squalane and skincare ingredients including shea butter, jojoba oil, and ceramides. That blend is designed to hydrate and leave lips looking smooth, making the balm a useful choice when you want color and lip care in one step.
Apply it directly to bare lips for instant shine, or dab and blend with a finger for a softer tint. For a more defined look, apply several layers or pair it with a lip pencil.
Size & fit
The balm measures 0.9 x 0.9 x 3.2 inches and weighs 1.41 ounces. Its swipe-on format suits a simple routine: apply directly when you want glossy color, then use a fingertip to soften the pigment for a more understated finish. The formula is described as lightweight, giving it a balm-like role in a makeup routine rather than requiring a separate step for sheer lip color.
Why it’s worth it
Butterglow brings together the feel of a moisturizing balm and the look of glossy, buildable color. The formula contains 12% squalane, while shea butter, jojoba oil, and ceramides contribute to its skincare-focused blend. Lancôme describes it as providing up to 24 hours of hydration. It also states that lips look 19% smoother and 27% less dry after seven days, and that lip lines are visibly reduced over that period.
This combination is especially practical when a clear balm alone feels too plain but a more opaque lip color is more than you want. Wear one swipe for a natural-looking sheen, blend it out for a subtle tint, or build up layers for stronger color. Buyers often describe the balm as smooth and creamy, and mention its moisturizing feel and silky shine. Feedback on wear time and stickiness is mixed, so the most consistent appeal is its combination of color, shine, and a balm texture.

Is it worth it?
A solid pick if you want lip color that can shift from a subtle tint to a more noticeable, glossy look without giving up a balm-focused formula.

Choose Butterglow for an all-in-one step that adds shine and buildable color while keeping lip care central.
