What I like:
- A very pretty coral-pink shade that goes on sheer adding just the right amount of color. Not as pigmented as MAC TLC in Gentle Coral but nevertheless, a pretty shade. I'm on a coral-pink kick lately so this shade is so me!
- It smells good, somewhat fruity, a little artificial but not something that would really send me to a sneeze fest. In fact, I love the scent. It reminded me of the old L'Oreal lip glosses in pots (that was way back in 2003 or so) but this smells better.
- Moisturizing. May not be as moisturizing as my Mentholatum Lip Ice Lemon but for a tinted lip balm, it is pretty awesome. I apply these on my lips at night and I wake up with softer lips.
- Non-sticky and non-waxy. Melts like butter on the lips and does not sit on top of the puckers.
- I like the cute packaging. I don't really mind using lippies in pots. What are lip brushes invented for?
- Thanks to local resellers like La Petite Confiserie, we can now gain access to these lip butters. Though I got mine on sale at Girltalk.
- The curious cat in me tried this as a cheek tint and it works just as well.
What I don't like:
- May be a bit pricey at $10 in Sephora and Php 620 at La petite Confiserie for a lip balm that only has 6g of product. But then again, I don't mind paying for something that I like and works.
- The packaging is quite bulky and may lead you to think that it contains more product than it actually does.
Overall rating: 4.5/5
Will I buy again? Definitely! :) Since I always end up getting bummed that I can't get hold of MAC TLC Gentle Coral anymore, this is a good substitute.

ReplyDeleteReina, if it's the Nivea Pomegranate lip balm, I also have it. I actually like it save for the scent, which, I find a little too much. :)

ReplyDeleteKorres tinted lip balms have been lingering in the back of my mind since forever! But I have yet to go out and pick up one. :( & this is the color I've been eyeing too (;
ReplyDelete-steals!-
Haha, I'm totally with you on the whole love for tinted lip balms craze. Just a lovely hint of color (:
Hi P!!! this is such a cute color, and it seems flattering for a lot of skin tones! i salute you for liking the packaging! i dont like lip products in pots cause i dont like dipping my fingers into them and i am too lazy to use a lipbrush hahaha
ReplyDeleteGyc, Jasmine is the pale pink one that's almost milky, right? Glad it also works for you. :P
ReplyDeleteTiffo, c'mon! Give Korres lip butters a try! You'll like the Pomegranate one. :P
G, I might be part of the minority who likes potted lip balms. Haha! :P
I have one and it is fantastic! just read your profile to the left, I love coldplay and criminal minds too except after i watch the show i can't sleep sometimes lol
ReplyDeletei want this!! my chapstick lip balm doesn't work well on me anymore haha! and this one's tinted too, added bonus :)
ReplyDeleteJulie, I think that since that kind of job is my dream job, I am able to sleep. Haha! But there are really some episodes that are quite disturbing, especially in the first few seasons that are so well-written, that I was not able to sleep with the lights off. :P
ReplyDeleteHazel, you gotta give this a try then, if that's the case! :P
ReplyDeleteLove the color, and the texture looks amazing! Sucks I can't get it from Apothica as they won't ship it to Canada )=
ReplyDeleteGaby, they won't even ship it to Canada? To think you're just basically like neighbors with them! Haha! Bummer.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a puuurty shade! <3
