Winky Lux Lip Balm Dupe
I’m all for the quality of a high-end beauty product, but sometimes it’s just not in the budget. Fortunately, it looks like there’s an affordable alternative for my favorite Winky Lux lip balm!

Winky Lux Flower Balm is easily one of my all-time favorite lip balms, so when I saw someone on TikTok swear that Blossom Lip Balm was a dupe, I needed to try it immediately.
Both balms have that pretty flower inside and color-shift as they react with the pH levels on your lips, creating a custom shade that looks a little different on everyone. (They’re also vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free, which is always a win.)
So naturally, I ordered this for pick up while I was at work, added a few extra things to my cart (because Ulta) and tested it as soon as I got home.
Here’s the final verdict…

Blossom Color-Changing Crystal Lip Balm - Pink
Price: $7-10
tried + tested: It’s an incredible affordable alternative! The color changing effect is real, it gives your lips a slight tint and it is pH based, the same balm looks different on everyone.
My friends who don’t like wearing lipstick or gloss LOVE these balms. For me, it wears the same and feels hydrating like Winky Lux.
the difference: The fragrance, the Winky Lux lip balm is just less fragrant. The Blossom lip balm has a slight artificial strawberry scent, so if you are super sensitive to artificial fragrance it may not be for you, but if you’re okay with that, it’s definitely worth trying for the price!

need the splurge? i get it
Winky Lux is still a favorite of mine, and sometimes the high-end version really is worth it. I share affordable alternatives because not everyone can spend splurge prices every time, but I’ll always link the original too so you can choose what fits your budget.
