They Put Hot Sauce in Lip Gloss

Sephora has done something rather clever with its winter collection. A limited-edition lip gloss inspired by Tabasco.

Now, before you raise an eyebrow, hear me out.

The collaboration takes the beloved Outrageous Plump gloss and gives it a spicy twist. They've added capsaicin—that's the stuff that makes chili peppers hot—to the original volumising formula.

This isn't a gimmick. It's rooted in actual beauty science. Chili extracts have been used for years because they genuinely plump your lips.

Sephora, working with IMG Licensing, embraced this fact. The result? A tingling sensation that tips its hat to Tabasco's famous heat.

The collection offers four shades. Each one named after a different spice level. Jalapeño gives you a sheer green. Sriracha brings a warm brown. Extreme Heat delivers a bold black with a hint of shimmer.

And the packaging? Each gloss sits in a silicone sleeve shaped like a Tabasco bottle. It comes with a keyring and pepper charm.

Playful. Memorable. The kind of thing people talk about.
