As a team of eagle-eyed beauty shopping experts, nothing gets past us. So, it should come as no surprise that we've just spotted an iconic lip product nestled amongst Reese Witherspoon's busy bathroom counter.

We've all heard of long-lasting lipsticks and the best lip liners, but the best lip oils have become one of the most popular lip products in recent years. These essentially combine the benefits of skincare with makeup; these formulas are often jam-packed with a plethora of nourishing ingredients that are designed to hydrate and boost the shine of your pout. Much like the best tinted lip balms, many of which will also boast a subtle tint that delivers your lips with a sheer wash of colour.

The clue is in the name of the Clarins Lip Comfort Oil; this buy is enriched with 93% natural origin ingredients that are designed to comfort and nourish the lips, while working to strengthen the barrier function.

After careful close inspection, we discovered the actress to be a fan of the iconic Clarins Lip Comfort Oil in '01 Honey'. The orange-hued lip oil in question can be spotted in a small gold-topped tube next to the sink.

This versatile lip product can be used in a number of ways, including as an overnight treatment, alone on the natural lips to nourish the pout, or over a lipstick to unlock a voluminous, beautiful shine.
