The 2 shades are wildly pigmented and whereas they give the impression of being clean on my arm, as a result of they’re a mineral sunscreen, they do really feel fairly thick and I do not suppose they apply as easily as the outline says they need to. In my thoughts, after I first utilized them I instantly thought “She thick!”
There may be additionally a really robust considerably chalky cherry-like scent which I’m not an enormous fan of, however I additionally perceive that what I’m in all probability smelling is the elements record with none added perfume.
Whereas the shade “Wild Peony” is supposed to be a rosy trace of pink, I discover it too pink/gray for my pores and skin. I used to be not anticipating these to be fairly as pigmented as they’re and on the one hand, it is good to know that these lip tints can ship related ranges of pigmentation to lipsticks!
The shade “Sienna Rose” appears higher on my pores and skin tone, however I’ve to be a bit of extra cautious when making use of as it’s REALLY apparent for those who go exterior of your lip traces! What I’ve discovered the best is to kind of, *dab dab* this shade on my lips after which I get a touch of coloration that matches me higher.
Ultimate verdict: Sure, I mentioned there was a powerful scent and a thickness to the applying of those lip balms, however I have a look at these extra as vital protecting sunscreen with a bonus of getting the tint so I’m able to dwell with these points. that there are totally different shades sooner or later that can fall someplace in between these two shades that is likely to be a bit of extra pleasant to a wider vary of pores and skin tones.
