Review: Bite Beauty Lush Lip Tint in Cherry

Anything that touts itself as a balm but with color pay-off is a must-have in my book! 

The packaging: This comes in a standard lipstick tube, but runs a bit bigger. 

The scent: A slight soapy scent, but not discernible on lips.

The product: Cherry is a bright, soft red shade. This product comes with the color around a white center. The center contains resveratrol, which is an antioxidant. This is a balm, so it applies smoothly and is hydrating. It lasted a shocking 4+ hours on me, but I'm wondering if it's because I got a brighter shade. This is perfect for those who don't want to wear a fully opaque red lip, but still want to venture into the realm of red lips. You can dab it on lightly for an even more muted red lip effect or apply it straight from the bullet for a bright red lip. 

Cost: $24 for 0.13oz

Review: Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments

For my first review on this blog, I've chosen Fresh's line of Sugar Lip Treatments.
I remember buying the original Sugar color several years ago, but it wasn't until about a year ago, that I fell in love with these all over again.

Fresh Lip Treatments (L to R): Sugar, Rose, Petal, Berry, Passion, Cherry

The packaging: I love how these are packaged. They come in their own little box, and the actual tube that encases the product is sturdy (I've dropped these several times and barely made a dent in them!). You have to slightly unscrew the tube to open it, and then you unscrew to push up the product. The only thing I don't like about the packaging is that it has a metallic finish, so when you accidentally rub two tubes together, it's reminiscent of nails on a chalkboard (this might just be me though). 

The scent: I love the smell of these! It smells like a very sweet lemon. I'm not sensitive to smells in cosmetics, so I don't know if others would think these are too scented though.

The product: These all go on very smoothly and you can build up the color as much as you would like. These products are not weightless, so you know you're wearing something on your lips though. The great thing about these lip treatments are that they are not sticky and they're easy to reapply without a mirror. They also left my lips feeling smoother and softer. They last about 4 hours on me and the darker colors leave a nice stain on my lips. If you're eating or drinking, you'll have to reapply after. 

Favorites: My favorite out of the group is Petal, although it's hard to choose a favorite! I only chose Petal because it's my go-to Sugar and the one I throw in my purse when I'm going out for the day. It's the closest to my natural lip color and enhances it just the right amount.

Cost: $22.50 - pricey for a balm, but you'll fall in love with them and they're SPF 15!
