e.l.f.'s viral pickle-inspired lip balm sold out in just eight minutes, but the unusual beauty trend is back with three new limited-edition shades.

Pickle lovers are about to have another beauty buy to add to their wish list, as e.l.f. Cosmetics has brought back its viral pickle-inspired Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm with three limited-edition shades.

The original pickle-flavoured balm sold out in just eight minutes earlier this year, sparking a wave of demand from shoppers who clearly weren't ready to let their favourite beauty-meets-snack trend disappear. Now, e.l.f. has returned with even more briny options, including a new plumping formula.

And if you're looking for more of the brand's beauty best sellers while you're there, it's also worth discovering e.l.f.'s August Lead Star products, including the Sheer For It Blush Tint and Main Stain Lip Marker.

The return of the pickle collection comes after the first drop attracted a huge amount of attention, with 77% of purchasers reportedly being new to e.l.f. The brand says more than 20% of Gen Z describe themselves as obsessed with pickles, and this latest collection looks set to give that enthusiasm another beauty-focused outlet.

There are now three £9 Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm shades to choose from, each designed around a different take on the classic pickle flavour.

The Real Dill brings back the original sharp, tangy, unmistakably pickle-forward concept, this time in a sheer green shade. It's the obvious choice for anyone who wanted to get their hands on the first viral launch but missed out.

Then there's e.l.f. von Dill, which takes inspiration from German pickle fans with a lighter combination of sweet, salty and tangy notes. The glossy pearl finish gives it a slightly different look from the original.

For something with more of a kick, Spicy Lil' Dill introduces a plumping formula with a hot and spicy flavour and deep red sheen. It's perhaps the most unexpected addition to the collection and gives the pickle trend a more traditional make-up twist.

There's even something for shoppers who want to take the theme beyond their lips. The Briny Blender is a collectible, pickle-themed make-up sponge designed to bring the novelty of the collection into the rest of your beauty routine.

Across the range, the lip balms have the glossy, buttery finish and hydrating feel associated with e.l.f.'s Glow Reviver franchise, while the limited-edition flavours are designed to make the collection feel more like a beauty trend than a standard lip product launch.

It is also worth keeping an eye on Sheer For It Blush Tint, particularly if you're looking for a versatile everyday product. The buildable, multi-use blush tint has become one of e.l.f.'s best sellers, allowing you to build the colour from a subtle flush through to a more defined look.

Meanwhile, the Main Stain Lip Marker has already picked up viral momentum of its own. The lip product offers another way to add colour with a stain effect and can be paired with the Sheer For It Blush Tint for an easy lip-and-cheek combination.

With the original pickle balm disappearing in just eight minutes, shoppers interested in the new limited-edition collection may not want to hang around. Shop e.l.f. Cosmetics to discover the new pickle-inspired Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balms alongside the brand's latest beauty best sellers; Sheer For It Blush Tint and Main Stain Lip Marker.
