Seeking a pretty pink lippie that isn’t garish, immature, or just wrong is not an easy task. We have countless pink lip glosses that are pretty shades we are drawn to, but they are not flattering. Pinch of Colour Healthy Lips Waterless Lip Oil in Pink Crush is the perfect shade to provide just a hint of healthy color paired with hydrating ingredients. More polished than a gloss but more natural-looking than a creamy lipstick, these lip oils provide a healthy lip look.
The Problem of a Pretty Pink
A sophisticated yet flattering shade of pink is not so easy to find: it can’t be too bubble gum teenager pink. It can’t be so close to a nude that it doesn’t impart a peppy pop of color. It can’t be so vibrant that it lends towards a weird orange shade. Not hot fuschia, not pale red.
The perfect pink gloss is a tricky business. So we really like Pinch of Colour Pink Crush – it is a guava pink with a sheer yet enlivening touch of color.
Healthy Lips Waterless Lip Oil
Pinch of Color Healthy Lips Waterless Lip Oil is a glossy lip stain in a tube that behaves like an intensively hydrating lip treatment. The tube looks like an opaque lip cream but its actually a lovely sheer oil that is not sticky or greasy.
Features
- It uses a precise lip brush applicator for clean application.
- The feel is not sticky or greasy
It comes in three shades:
- CREAM DREAM – a sheer caramel nude
- BERRY BITE – a sheer raspberry red
- PINK CRUSH – a sheer guava pink
It contains nourishing natural oils such as Apricot Kernel Oil and Macadamia Oil that give a healthy lip look while also delivering a pretty punch of color.

Key Ingredients
Avocado Oil
Avocado Oil is 72% monounsaturated fatty acids. This is higher than Coconut or Grapeseed oils.
Avocado Oil mixes with water better than other oils. Avo oil readily penetrates into the skin. It absorbs instead of sitting atop the skin, making it an ideal moisturizer for dry, chapped lips.
Rosa Canina Seed Oil
Rosa Canina Seed Oil is an emollient. It contains tocopherols (vitamin E) and carotenoids (pro-vitamin A) that give it some nice antioxidant properties.
Rosa Canina Seed Oil is a moisturizing plant oil loaded with skin-nourishing fatty acids (linoleic acid – 51%, linolenic acid – 19%, and oleic acid – 20%).
Apricot Kernel Oil
An emollient that softens and smooths. Apricot oil is lighter than many other oils but still provides a great sheen.
It contains antioxidant vitamin E and nourishing fatty acids (mostly oleic acid 54-74%, linoleic acid 12-35%).
It has nourishing and moisturizing properties (as a high oleic oil it’s ideal for dry skin types) and is quite easily absorbed into the skin.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E softens the skin, making scar tissue more pliable and soft.
Macadamia Nut Oil
Macadamia Nut Oil is a native Australian nut.
Macadamia oil is very rich and contains many natural lipids. It is loaded with emollient and nourishing fatty acids. It’s a high oleic acid oil (50-67% oleic acid and only 0-5% linoleic acid) that makes it very emollient and ideal for dry skin types (and less ideal for acne-prone skin).
Macadamia uniquely contains high amounts of a rare fatty acid called palmitoleic acid (12-25%) that give Macadamia oil a “cushiony” feel. It’s also easily absorbed and makes the skin soft and supple.
