I used to buy tinted balms, but they were too oily and would smear everywhere. Color lip balms didn't show up well, so I ended up using regular lip balm and lip products separately. This product feels like it combines the best of both lip balm and tinted balm, so if you like the color, you'll probably enjoy using it. It feels like you've just applied a lip balm, but when you look in the mirror, the color payoff is similar to a Yves Saint Laurent lipstick (the moisturizing line) - especially if you apply it two or three times.
ConsThe description for the Harmony Lake shade says it's suitable for all skin types, but in reality, it seems closer to a cool mauve pink. It has quite a bit of white undertone. I have a neutral skin tone, and while it didn't look out of place on my bare face, it wasn't a perfect match either. I think shade 3 might be better for warm-toned individuals. Compared to typical color lip balms that usually give a sheer tint, this one seems a bit more opaque, which might make it worth keeping. However, I found the product description a bit disappointing.
TipI highly recommend this product for layering colors! It pairs beautifully with a more transparent, high-saturation brick lip color. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a comfortable lip balm with decent color payoff. It's also great as a base lip product. If you apply this as a base and top it with a matte product, you'll get a long-lasting, plump finish.
