AlbaBotanica Terra Tint Lip Balm Bloom [SPF15]

I would recommend the Blaze color over Bloom. It's not registered on Hwahae, so I'm leaving it here. Blaze has the same functionality, but the color is a bit deeper, like a muted rose or a hint of brick red. As a warm-toned person, I find it works great whether I'm wearing makeup or not. Some teenage friends may not like the color, but I think it gives a healthy glow and I like it even more. My mom and aunt saw me using it and ended up buying a few for themselves. It has UV protection and the moisture content is not bad either. It's better in terms of ingredients compared to regular lipsticks, and the deeper color makes it suitable as a daily lipstick replacement. I always have it in my pouch. It has a subtle minty feel, but it's not overpowering. The price is also very affordable when purchased from direct import sites. This is one of the items I've stuck with for a very long time.

The application isn't super smooth, and it can feel a bit stiff when it's cold. But it's still wearable, and the application improves when it's warm.

When applying makeup, I find that putting on a layer of tint first and then applying this on top helps with moisture and color longevity. That's how I usually use it on a daily basis.

There are not many lip balms that are well-protected from UV rays and have good ingredients, but there is just one. The color has a pearly, cool-toned pink with a hint of white. The price is affordable, which is good.

When applied, there is a slight stinging sensation, like a mild sunburn... I'm not sure what the ingredient is, but it seems to be something that divides opinions. Also, while it contains natural citrus ingredients, it has some allergy-inducing components, which is a bit concerning... For various reasons, I don't plan to repurchase this.

I apply this and then add another red-colored lip product on the inner part of my lips. When I just use this, it makes my lips look a bit dull. Addition: If you're buying this, you've probably purchased it from iHerb. They sell the Hurraw Sun lip balm, which has good ingredients and great UV protection. They also carry the Badger Sun lip balm, which I haven't tried but heard good things about.
