You may know I own several of these… okay all of them. But shade #06 (Rosewood Shimmer) was the last I picked up, because quite frankly the packaging put me off. The tube leads you to think that this shade is quite brown in tone, but it wasn’t until I out and out tried it on my lips that I realized it is actually a gorgeous neutral rosy hue that is the perfect “My lips but better” shade.
If you are new to the formula of these don’t be thrown off when I use the term “gloss” because I use it lightly. These are a gorgeous creamy balm like texture with glossy sheen to them. I prefer to think of them as a hybrid in the best possible way : these moisturize my lips better than some stand alone balms and have the colour of a gloss.
No sticky hair catching, husband cringing tackiness here, and at $20 CND and 12ml/0.35oz or product (more than the average gloss!) I say it’s great bang for buck!
