what is it with lip products now smelling like yummy yummy sweet things? this smells like a vanilla ish cakey kinda thing and i really like it. i don't smell it on my lips for long but maaaaan its lovely.
i was a bit apprehensive about getting a lip product that was an oil. was it going to be sticky like a lip gloss used to be in the early 2000's? was it going to be pigmented, or slide off my lips like a real oil would? i didn't know. happily, i can report that i absolutely love this product.
i received the shade bounty beige from the vault. again, i was concerned because 'ew brown' but again, i was proven wrong! and i'm not sad about it. i love the length of the tube and the wand. the doe foot applicator is soft and it glides on the lips so smoothly.
the oil itself is barely pigmented to my eye when its on the lip. on my hand or in the tube i see a slight coloring but otherwise it's colorless and honestly thats fine with me. i think as an oil if it had any more color it would look weird, but this provides a nice sheen as well as being delightful to wear.
happily, the oil isn't sticky or slippery. it's just like a wetter balm and it's really nice. it's not moisturizing or anything like that, but it definitely makes you forget about your lips for a moment. i agree with the claim of it cushioning your lips while adding a hint of glow. it's just really lovely!! i'd definitely purchase this with my own money, i love it!
I was so excited to get this in the recent beauty vault. Thanks BR xo
The packaging is just gorgeous. I didn't get the one in the picture but got the nude shade instead which is more my colour.
When I saw the colour I thought it looked a bit like a coral colour but nothing to worry about - it is more of a caramel nude (phew).
Keeps my lips hydrated for a little while, not as long as I would like but my lips are super thirsty so I'm not at all surprised it didn't last as long as I was hoping it would.
It gives a beautiful shiny gloss to your lips but not over the top and I love the fact it isn't sticky either, as I hate that in a lip product. It is a smooth and creamy formula too.
Highly recommend and would love to see them come out with more than the two shades that they currently have.
