Let’s admit it: most of us are guilty of indulging in one too many lip glosses and balms. The beauty market is oversaturated, flooded with new launches every week, each wrapped in irresistibly cute packaging and marketed with the promise of delivering the glossiest, juiciest pout imaginable. From barely-there tints to glitter-packed formulas, it’s no wonder we keep adding more tubes to our carts.
But let’s be real—how many of these actually get used? After the initial excitement wears off, most of them end up forgotten in the depths of our vanities, half-used or barely touched. What started as a glossy obsession eventually turns into clutter. Sound familiar? Well, lucky for us, TikTok’s beauty experts have a new and fun way to de-clutter your beauty shelf and repurpose your impulse lip gloss purchases.
Enter: the jumbo lip gloss.

What is it, you ask? The jumbo lip gloss trend involves taking an empty (and thoroughly cleaned) foundation bottle and mixing various lip glosses, balms, and even lip tints to create one massive, custom-colored gloss. It’s DIY beauty at its finest, and the best part? You’re giving all those neglected products a second life.
Beyond a trend, it’s a smart way to declutter, reduce waste, and unleash your inner cosmetic chemist. You can mix textures, finishes, and shades to craft a lip gloss that’s completely unique to you. Want something with high shine and just a hint of berry? Blend a few clear glosses with a deep pink balm. Craving a nude tone with shimmer? Mix a champagne gloss with a peachy tint and a dab of glitter.

It’s sustainable, fun, and advocates for making the most out of what you already own. Can’t wait to jump in on the trend? It’s time to get mixing!
