A new line of pickle-flavored lip gloss from E.L.F. Cosmetics has become a trending topic on TikTok, with beauty influencers not only applying the product but also tasting it on camera. The limited-edition Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balms were released this week and come in three shades: The Real Dill, E.L.F. von Dill, and Spicy Lil Dil.
The collection also includes a cucumber-shaped sponge for blending. Each lip balm is priced at $9.
Influencers have shared their reactions to the taste of the gloss. TikTokker Chevon Shade described one shade as tasting "like cucumber pickle," while another vlogger, Blue Suarez, noted it was "a little funky" but ultimately enjoyable, stating, "I like pickles." Influencer Annisha Tanksley commented that the gloss tasted "like salt" and distinctly like a pickle, though not one typically eaten.
The pickle-inspired glosses are part of a growing trend on the social media platform where users experiment with unconventional beauty product flavors and textures. The E.L.F. products aim for a "super-shiny" and "ultra buttery" finish on the lips.
