Shades 19-21, summer light skin tone | Relatively dark lip color | Pink-toned, 'a bit warmer in tone' due to my natural lip color 💋 Lip photos 1: Before use, no product applied 2: After 1 application of Athe Glow Lip Balm 3: After 2-3 applications of Athe Glow Lip Balm, under fluorescent lighting (Actual color: A warm rose tone with a hint of red on my lips!) 💗 What I liked 1. Moisturizing melting texture As someone who hates oily lip glosses, the 90% moisture-like texture that doesn't feel oily on the lips was really appealing to me! 2. Comfortable to use When I gently press and spread it on my lips, the formula smooths out the flakiness without any stickiness, making my lips feel comfortable. I usually avoid lipsticks and glosses and only use tints because I don't like the layered feeling on my lips, but this moisturizing lip balm texture settled comfortably on my lips, making them feel supple, so I kept wanting to use it. 3. Good color payoff for a moisturizing lip balm The shade 2 'Flurte' is a lukewarm, muted/pink-toned MLBB rose color that suits summer muted and fall muted skin tones well. I agonized a lot between 1 'Baby' and 2 'Flurte', and while 'Baby' might suit my light summer tone and light pink/coral better, 'Flurte' is still a wearable, low-key color for going out. 4. Addictive magnetic case Haha, personally I find the magnetic case really fun to open and close! The magnetic closure also gives me peace of mind that the product won't accidentally open.
Cons1. The color and tone have a somewhat warm feel. While this MLBB (My Lips But Better) color is quite uncommon for a lip balm, it may be the perfect shade for some. However, for those who don't suit warm red or MLBB tones in the spring-warm or summer-cool light range, it may be a bit too much. 2. The texture is slightly soft. The soft texture means there is a bit of transfer onto the lips. This is understandable given the high moisture content of this lip balm. Overall, the benefits seem to outweigh the drawbacks, making this a good lip balm.
TipLipstick and lip pencil make a great pair! After lining your lips and the corners of your mouth with a lip pencil, applying lip balm will give you fuller, more vibrant lips, like a juicy sea otter 🍣 Don't apply it too quickly. Gently press the lip balm onto your lips and slowly glide it back and forth, which will help bring out a beautiful, moisturized glow.
