In my opinion, it seems to have a warm undertone, but as time passes, it maintains a healthy-looking tint that makes your lips look naturally flushed, making it comfortable for men to use as well. I have extremely dry, sensitive lips that tend to flake and bleed when I use tinted lip balms, often feeling no hydration. However, the Raum Balm is incredibly comfortable to apply, calms any dead skin cells, and I absolutely love it. ☝ Beautifully designed and eco-friendly packaging This is the first time I've encountered a lip balm in paper packaging, which I first saw with Monage. The realistic images of endangered animals printed on it are so pretty and cute. I'm very satisfied with the packaging as it perfectly reflects Monage's brand image of environmental consciousness. Moreover, it has a unique push-up design that you don't see in other lip balms! While it might be slightly inconvenient to push it back down, I think this minor inconvenience is worth it for the sake of the environment. ☝ Light and refreshing feel As someone who applies lip balm at every opportunity, I tend to shy away from heavy formulas. Especially when drinking coffee or other beverages after application, heavier balms can feel greasy and uncomfortable. Monage, however, has a light feel that doesn't bother me much when eating or drinking, making it easy to use in various situations.
ConsThere are no downsides! While the all-paper product might be slightly inconvenient when applying and storing, I believe we should accept this minor inconvenience for the sake of the environment! It's even difficult to consider this a downside, but I'm mentioning it here since I need to write something in the 'cons' section.

Great for sensitive skin - no irritation or itching. 2. Small, cute container makes it perfect for carrying around or traveling. 3. The color isn't too intense, ideal for a natural makeup look. 4. Works well as a cheek tint too. 5. Doesn't feel greasy on cheeks or lips, which is comfortable and pleasant.
Cons-- Disadvantages -- 1. Applies a bit crumbly like a lipstick, which can be inconvenient. 2. Being a lip balm, it's challenging to apply at an angle on the lips. 3. The product can sometimes fully come out if not careful when twisting up. 4. Doesn't stain well, so frequent reapplication is necessary. 5. The paper packaging gets dirty quickly when the white paper comes into contact with the product.

It's non-irritating and great. 💕Usage It's soft, non-irritating, thin, and feels light and firmly attached to the lips. 💕Color The color is not overpowering - it's a natural reddish-orange that blends seamlessly with the natural lip color. Even I, who don't usually wear bold colors, can use this in a simple, everyday style. 💕Shine The shine is not excessive, but natural and subtly glossy. I absolutely love it! 💕Moisturizing True to its multi-balm nature, it provides reliable moisture. Even when applied thinly, you can still feel the comfortable hydration! 💕💕Volume!!💕💕 The volume is incredibly generous - you'll wonder when you'll ever finish it! I've included a comparison photo with regular lip balms on the market. 💕Vegan & Eco-friendly Vegan ingredients and an eco-friendly container! Saving the planet with love♡
ConsWhile the container is environmentally friendly with its eco-friendly materials, there are a few minor inconveniences that come with it. You need to be careful when opening and closing the lid, and when pushing the product up, to avoid damaging the contents. And since it's made of paper, it feels a bit unstable to carry around, so it's best to keep it in a designated spot when using.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe natural finish makes it great for wearing on bare skin, and you don't need to apply it multiple times for the color to show up well. It's moderately moisturizing and doesn't feel slippery. The scent is not particularly pleasant, but it's not bothersome either.
ConsSince it's made of paper, it gets dirty right away after opening and handling it. It's also inconvenient to push up the product from the bottom. As someone who uses products roughly, I think the contents will likely become tattered before I even use half of it. While it's good for the environment, the inconvenient usage makes me unlikely to purchase it.

ConsThe packaging and texture are disappointing ㅜㅜ Unlike other lip balms, there's no twisting part at the bottom, so you have to push up the bottom part, which was a bit inconvenient ㅜㅜ And the texture seemed too oily, so the moisturizing feeling didn't seem to be fully there..!
TipThe application area is wide, and if you apply it directly to your lips, it clumps up, so I recommend applying it to your finger first and then to your lips.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe biggest advantage is its natural feel. I used it daily after receiving the delivery. 📏Size: It's about the size of a thumb, so it's easy to carry around in your pocket. ✋Texture: As the name suggests, it's a balm-like product that melts with body temperature. 🌈Color: It's on the lighter side and doesn't have any pigmentation. You'll need to apply at least 3 coats to see a noticeable change. The lack of pigmentation makes it easy to correct. I was looking for a lip product that wouldn't stand out too much on bare skin, and the Raum Balm is the first one I've found that looks so nice and natural on bare skin. I used it frequently every day after receiving it.
ConsThe product is the type where you have to push it up from the bottom with your finger, which can be inconvenient to get the desired amount. Since it's in a paper package, the top part can get dirty. The moisturizing effect is just average, so it's best to use another product to exfoliate at night and use this for color during the day.
TipIt pairs well with a bare-faced look, using just blush and this lip product to add color. If you warm up the top part with your fingertip or the back of your hand before applying, the color will apply more evenly.

It was a shade between brick orange and red, and it applied naturally as a lip and cheek product. The texture was not too shiny, with just the right amount of sheen, and it felt moisturizing to use. Since I usually go for a natural, light makeup look, I've been using this as a daily lip and blush product instead of lipstick or blush.
ConsThe product itself was good, but the packaging was a bit disappointing. It needs to be pushed up from the bottom to use, and a roll-on type would have been better.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsUsage period: 2 weeks Recommended skin type: Warm-toned, those who want to naturally boost their complexion Texture: 3/5: Slightly powdery and applies smoothly Color: 4/5: A bit too light for cool-toned skin, but gives a natural, healthy glow like carrots Fragrance: 4/5: A typical cosmetic scent? Almost no noticeable smell!! Packaging: 5/5: The rabbit is just too cute, and it's all made of paper, so it's eco-friendly Other: When using the glow cushion, using a blush made the glow disappear, but when I used this as a blush, it gave a comfortable glow My family also uses this and likes it more than I do haha
ConsMoisturizing: 3/5: Not completely hydrating... but not drying either! Since it has color in it, it was a bit disappointing when it clung to dry patches too much on really flaky days
TipA lot of people complain that lip balm doesn't stay on for long..!! Pull down the area under your lips after applying lip balm, then press your lips together to help the balm sink in!! Personally, I was very satisfied using this as a blush

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThere are so many things I love about this product that it has been my pride and joy for about 2 weeks 🫶 1. Natural color payoff for lip + cheek in one No matter how eco-friendly a product is, it must fulfill the core function of cosmetics, right? This one really delivers on the color payoff, it's just my style🥹 Can you see the healthy glow on my face?? The color applies so naturally, and my face looks brighter! *Attached before and after photos For reference, I have a fairly light 21 shade complexion, and I don't usually go for heavy makeup. It's a shame it doesn't show as well in the photos, but if you dab this on your cheeks too, you get a natural flush with a subtle glow as a bonus. 2. Trendy and adorable packaging Eco-friendly is so in these days, you know? A paper package with no plastic at all! You push up the bottom to use it, and when you put it back, the gravity makes it go down with a tap-tap sound ㅋㅋㅋㅋ That's so fun, and everyone who sees it gets curious and asks about it. Even if they don't ask, I'll tell them proactively. This item makes the life of an attention-seeker like me even more enjoyable🫶 (The bunny is so cute too🐰❤️) I plan to repurchase when I finish this one, and I also recommend it as a gift to my friends!
Cons1. Concave shape at the bottom When I first used it, the balm had a concave shape at the bottom rather than being convex or flat, so it was difficult to apply directly on my lips. It did flatten out as I used it, though. 2. Need to carry a separate lip balm This isn't an issue with the moisturizing power, but more of a side effect of the great color payoff. As someone who constantly needs to reapply lip balm due to dry lips, I found it burdensome to use this colored balm as a lip balm substitute. This led to my lips getting dry... But I love the color payoff of this product so much that I'm considering getting a separate clear lip balm to carry around. 3. Paper packaging gets dirty As an eco-friendly package, this is something I have to accept. There's a minor annoyance of the opening getting stained red from the product.

And the color is also very natural, so it's perfect for a natural look! I like the color because it's pretty.
Cons1. The inner white part gets all over... ㅠ Even though I haven't used it for a week, it looks like it's been used for a long time...?! 2. It's a bit difficult to apply. If the lip balm was narrower and thinner, it would have been easier to apply. 3. My younger sister unknowingly pushed up the lip balm, and when I pressed it down, it went back in. But since then, it hasn't stayed fixed, so I'm just using it as is!
TipI think it would be better to cut it and put it in a different container! I'll try transferring it and then modify and use it again:)
