  Pros

  My friend gifted me the Dior Lip Tattoo, which I was excited to try as a lover of natural makeup. I applied it directly to my lips without swatching it on my wrist first, worried that the 'Lip Tattoo' name might mean it would be heavily pigmented. However, the color payoff wasn't as intense as I had expected - it wiped off easily when I ate something, and the staining wasn't as strong as the name suggested. This was my first time trying an 'my lips but better' (MLBB) shade, and it ended up being a bit too dark for my lips, making my face look dull. But this is my own fault, so those who suit MLBB shades well might really like this color. The color itself is pretty, and the watery formula glides on lightly and adheres well.

  Cons

  I usually prefer to only review products I like, but I feel I should share my honest thoughts since your wallets are precious. I'm a big Dior fan - their lip balms are one of my holy grail products. But this... I'm not sure about this. It feels cooling when applied, but there's an odd, slightly tingling sensation as the alcohol-like ingredient evaporates. And there's this 'yogurt effect' happening, where my lips look unevenly textured and crumpled. No matter how much lip balm I layer on top, my lips still end up dry and unattractive. I'm sorry Dior, but I don't have any positive things to say about the formula, lasting power, pigmentation or price of this product.

  Tip

  Just try to protect your wallet, that's my advice. Even as a gift, this was disappointing - I can only imagine how much I would have regretted purchasing it with my own money.
