Koukla is a lip butter that takes its cue from Greece, and its name tells you so. In Greek, the word is an affectionate way to call someone a little doll, or a lovely young woman. It's said fondly, not as a description, which suits something meant to be worn on the lips. Plenty of beauty names try to sound pretty; this one is a compliment.

With reporting from Fashionista.
