The Lupita Nyong'o lip balm from Oscars 2014 has become the It beauty product of the season. When the 12 Years A Slave actress gave host Ellen Degeneres her Clarins lip balm as a tip for the pizza Degeneres ordered, Nyong'o had no idea she was going to cause quite the social media stir.

Degeneres ordered pizza at the awards show and then proceeded to pass singer Pharell's hat around to ask for tips from the attendees who took slices. Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein and actor Brad Pitt gave money, while Lupita Nyong'o reached into her purse and pulled out a lip balm in a blue tube. Degeneres said, "What's this? Oh, a lip balm," while Nyong'o laughed, embarrassed.

The hash tag #LupitasLipBalm quickly emerged on Twitter and Instagram, and a Twitter account called LipBalmofLupita has even been created. Once the actual product was pinned down, beauty enthusiasts all over the world scrambled to get a-hold of it.

The lip balm is actually the Clarins HydraQuench Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm. The French beauty brand was overwhelmed by the public's sudden interest, and the lip balm sold out almost overnight. The US Clarins website, which has already labeled the product with the hashtag, has already re-stocked from Paris, but as of this article is now out of stock again. Some Twitter and Instagram users have been posting about looking for and finding the product in stores via the #LupitasLipBalm tag, while others are simply posting about having it.

Even Nylon magazine digital director Faran Krentcil posted about the now famous lip balm on her Instagram. She uploaded a photo of her holding the tube in front of her face with the caption, "I'd like to thank the academy for validating my choice in lip balm. #lupita #ellen @clarinsnews."

Nyong'o, who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for 12 Years A Slave. The actress has been quite the favorite in fashion circles for her fabulous style choices during the most recent awards season. Now she's a favorite in the beauty world as well. The Lupita Nyong'o lip balm isn't the only beauty item she wore to the Oscars that she has brought attention to. Her luscious orange lipstick and pastel pink nails have been hits as well.
