| Verdict | Augustinus Bader's lip balm — TFC8 + shea + squalane in a tube format. The accessible entry product into the Bader ecosystem at $50, sitting below the $290+ Cream and $195 Eye Cream. The Bader-curious customer's first-purchase product. | Catrice's five-in-one lip treatment — hydration, colour, plumping, nourishment, and protection in a single twist-up stick. Hyaluronic acid provides deep hydration, watermelon seed oil is rich in linoleic acid and absorbs without greasiness, goji berry extract delivers antioxidants, cucumber extract soothes, and ginger root extract adds a gentle warming plumping effect. The tint is subtle — more 'your lips but better' than statement colour. Vegan, cruelty-free. At $6, this is the cheapest lip care product in the entire German-beauty database — and possibly the best value lip treatment in any origin. Available at dm, Rossmann, and Müller drugstores across Germany. |
