[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The berry shade is very subtle, almost identical to my natural lip color. So if you’re going for a “no-makeup makeup” look, this is really a good option. It adds just enough color to freshen up your lips while still keeping them hydrated. The texture is lightweight, and it feels comfortable and barely there on the lips. There’s no weird or strong scent either. It’s actually quite pleasant to me. It definitely feels moisturizing, but I wouldn’t say it’s some kind of magic hydration. It feels pretty similar to other hydrating lip balms I’ve tried. I think the main difference is probably the branding, packaging, and overall luxury feel. That being said, if you are buying it as a gift, I think it’s more worth it. It feels a lot more special and luxurious than a regular lip balm, so I can definitely see why someone would enjoy getting this as a gift.

Beautiful color but the scent is strong

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have mixed feelings about this lip balm. I really love the color it gives my lips, it’s a beautiful, natural-looking berry shade that's flattering and easy to wear. The texture is also very smooth, comfortable, and hydrating without feeling heavy or sticky. The only thing I’m not a fan of is the scent. I personally find it a bit too strong, especially for a lip product. Overall, I like the formula and color, but I wish it were fragrance-free or more subtle.
