my beauty story fruity tinted sweety lip balm

i got this from a giveaway awhile back. i've tried this lip balm for a couple times but i forgot to write the review. so here i am, trying to redeem myself for keep forgetting to review the stuff that i get.

this is the description from their website:
fruity tinted sweety lip balm sweeps on juicy flavor and nourishes lips with its conditioning formula. great for wearing alone or layer with your favorite lipstick. enriched with jojoba oil, shea butter, avocado oil and bees wax, this must-have, rich, buttery lip balm melts on the lips and offers a shiny, tinted finish creating sweetly and kissable lips in just one simple glide. comes in orange and strawberry flavor. it's formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates.

the packaging: it comes in a twisted white tube with white cap. you can see the flavor on the body, whether it's strawberry or orange by looking at the picture. just like ordinary lip balm out there.. nothing special about the packaging.

the smell: since this one is clearly described as fruity, the scent is obviously fruity. i have strawberry, i think mine is smell like strawberry, but i don't know about the orange one. but it doesn't taste like strawberry (somehow i wish they taste like their scent.. like the coca cola lip balm one if you knew).

the product: the lip balm glides easily on your lips. easy to twist out and back from the tube. the strawberry one is red, so i assumed the orange one is orange in color.

the result: yes, it's moisturizing. it gives subtle color to my lips. quite vivid actually for a tinted lip balm. in two swipes it will give me reddish hue on my lips. compared to nyx, i have to swipe a couple times to get that color shown (but the pink one doesn't have the same issue, so i don't know if this is only the result of inconsistency from nyx or else). the other thing that i like more from this lip balm is their after effect. with nyx, i will feel my lips become drier than before if i used their tinted lip balm. after it vanished my lips will become drier. but this one doesn't. i will leave my lips juicy and moisturized. somehow i reached for this one very often lately. if i had to run some errand but doesn't want to put makeup on, i'll just swipe this on my lips and i will become lively. as for the color, don't expect longevity. it will vanish with eating, drinking and time passing.

so, if you're looking for a tinted lip balm with a budget, buy this one. it's cheap, smells nice, gives pretty color and moisturizing. moreover, i'm proud to say that this one is a local product (indonesian brand). definitely recommend this one over nyx now..
