If there’s one beauty essential I’m going to have in my bag regardless of the occasion, it’s lip gloss. Of course, I love lipstick, but there’s something about a glassy lip that’s so satisfying. Perhaps it’s the irresistible shine it gives my plump lips or too many listens to “Lip Gloss” by Lil Mama as a young girl. Either way, I’ve been obsessed with the cosmetic product for as long as I can remember, and my obsession just heightened thanks to Laneige’s Glaze Craze Tinted Lip Serum ($22).
Although I’m a stickler when it comes to most parts of my beauty routine, I’ll bend a bit when it comes to my lips – you can call me a gloss guinea pig. Given my penchant for wearing lip glosses, I’ve tried an overwhelming amount of them – some overrated and some underrated. I’ve even fed into the lip-oil craze and was surprisingly impressed with its results. Still, this was my first time trying a lip serum (especially a donut-inspired one), and I won’t be going back to my trusted beauty supply gloss for a while, I fear.
Keep reading my full review of the Laneige Glaze Craze Tinted Lip Serum, and find out why it’s my new favorite gloss.

What I Like About the Laneige Glaze Craze Tinted Lip Serum
If you’re a lip gloss lover like me, you’ll also love the Laneige serum immediately, no joke. Not only are the donut-inspired scents extremely pleasant (sugar glaze being my favorite), but the results after just one swipe are truly a sight to behold. The shine is impeccable, and even after hours of wearing it, I don’t have to reapply – unlike my other glosses. I also love the serum’s moisturizing texture. It doesn’t leave my lips feeling sticky or dry after a while, but hydrated and plush thanks to ingredients like polypeptides and argan ceramides that improve skin barrier function and lock in moisture. My lips plus this serum are a true match made in heaven.
How to Use the Laneige Glaze Craze Tinted Lip Serum
Similar to other lip glosses, the Laneige Glaze Craze comes in a handy tube, but there’s one thing that sets it apart from the rest: its donut-shaped applicator. With each squeeze, you get the perfect amount of product to give your lips maximum hydration and shine. You can use the serum alone or with a lip color to build your desired shade or look.
Where Is the Laneige Glaze Craze Tinted Lip Serum Available?
