I can’t leave the house without four things: my apartment keys, my wallet, my phone, and a lip product. I have perpetually dry lips that always need to be hydrated, and I also don’t like how pale my lips look without a wash of color on them, so I carry tinted lip balm or gloss on me at all times. My purse has at least three lip products, but there are times when I don’t want to carry my everyday handbag, especially when there’s dancing involved, like at a concert or wedding reception. When I came across the Case-Mate Glossy MagSafe Lip Gloss Holder ($30), I knew I had to have it in my life.
Case-Mate’s Glossy MagSafe Lip Gloss Holder lets me carry a lip product when I don’t have pockets and don’t want to carry a purse. It’s similar to a viral lip balm phone case popularized by Hailey Bieber, but rather than being a fully-fledged case, this is an attachment. The lip gloss holder magnetically attaches to any MagSafe-compatible phone case.
Ahead, I break down why this is a must have for lip product hoarders like myself, detailing the wide range of lip products it can hold, and why it’s better than its popular counterpart.
What I Like About the Case-Mate Glossy MagSafe Lip Gloss Holder
As someone who relies on my phone for everything, Case-Mate’s Glossy MagSafe Lip Gloss Holder makes me even more dependent on my device. I can easily slide in my current go-to lip product or gloss and reapply my lippie whenever I want. The holder has a strong grip on the lip product, ensuring that it doesn’t fall out while I’m out and about. The holder fits a wide variety of popular lip products, including the popular Rhode Lip Peptide Treatment, Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm, Olehenriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment, Laneige Lip Glowy Balm, and more, as shown in the picture above.
The Glossy MagSafe Lip Gloss Holder’s MagSafe capabilities allow me to change out my phone case if I want a different style, or even upgrade my phone to a newer model — either way, it’s still compatible. The magnetic connection is strong, and it takes quite a bit of pressure to remove the holder from a MagSafe-compatible phone case, so I never worry that it will come off. When I want to remove it, I just slide it off with a little bit of applied pressure.
What to Consider Before Trying the Case-Mate Glossy MagSafe Lip Gloss Holder
Although the Glossy MagSafe Lip Gloss Holder can securely hold a wide range of lip products, it favors flexible and narrow packaging, like squeezable tubes and thin, doefoot applicators, rather than products with wider packaging. It does not securely hold popular lip products like the Summer Fridays Dream Lip Oil, the Huda Beauty Fauxfiller Lip Gloss, or the Innbeauty Lip Glaze Lip Oil because they are too big to fit into the case’s narrow slot.
Who Is the Case-Mate Glossy MagSafe Lip Gloss Holder Best For?
The Case-Mate Glossy MagSafe Lip Gloss Holder is a must for anyone who can’t leave the house without at least one lip product on hand at all times. If you’re shopping for someone who has a lip product obsession, this is a clever and affordable gift for the holidays.
Additional Details:
- It’s available in three colors: Soap Bubble (an iridescent white), Midnight (black), and Stardust (pale pink).
- It comes with a magnetic MagSafe ring, so you can use it on cases that are not MagSafe compatible.
Where Is the Case-Mate Glossy MagSafe Lip Gloss Holder Available?
The Case-Mate Glossy MagSafe Lip Gloss Holder is available on the brand’s site, and at Amazon and Target.
