The Odyssey star Lupita Nyong’o is famous for being radiant on the red carpet, and none more so than right now on the red carpets for the premiere of her new movie.

While Lupita’s makeup bag is filled with luxury beauty products from Chanel, the actor is also known for her more accessible must-haves, like a "really good" $24.99 all-natural body oil she swears by.

  • Lupita Nyong'o stars in the new blockbuster, The Odyssey.
  • The 43-year-old actress is wowing on the red carpet.
  • We discovered Lupita has previously said she loves the $10 Jack Black Lip Balm.

And we were excited to see we can add another affordable product to our Lupita-inspired beauty list – the shea butter and Vitamin E-enriched SPF Jack Black lip balm she used in a GRWM video previously, which costs just $10.

In the video, Lupita first washed her face with Dr Hauschka Soothing Cleansing Milk before following up with Honest Beauty Hydrogel Cream to moisturize.

Alongside the GRWM clip the Oscar-winning star shared on Instagram, she wrote: “My first #GetReadyWithMe! Heading to a dinner party in Paris and bringing you along for my #GRWM process with my makeup artist @nickbarose.”

Packed with antioxidants,  the lip balm contains vitamin E and green tea as well as handily, broad spectrum sun protection up to SPF25.

What do Amazon shoppers say about Jack Black Lip Balm?

Lupita's not the only fan of Jack Black lip balm - the drugstore buy has over 17k five-star ratings on Amazon.

An overwhelming amount of shoppers commented that they love it's "non-greasy" formula, and adore that it has no sparkle - many lip balms leave a slight sheen or shine behind, but this one appears not to.

Others applaud its moisturizing and repairing formula, shielding their lips against not just the sun, but windburn too. A lot love the peppermint flavor, which lasts without being an overwhelming scent or taste,

Along with Lupita, many other A-listers love a drugstore lip balm - when they work, they work!
