It’s an “ok” product, it’s like very tinted balm. Keeps your lips hydrated for few hours, and gives it a nice touch of color. However the color black honey makes my lips personally look thinner than they are…. And the pink one isn’t my color at all.

I'm obsessed with this color...
the combination of black honey + a lip liner close to one's natural lip color can look perfect on anyone with any skin tone imo.
I have neutral to cold undertones and my sister has warm undertones. the color looks different but nice on both of us.
sometimes I like to wear Fenty Gloss Bomb in Hot Chocolit on top of it, the combo is a perfect brown shade!

I have tried this both on my lips and on my cheeks. I love the color and it smells good, in my opinion. What I don’t love about this is that this is not long lasting.
Love it as a lip stain. I can’t comment on how it works as blush though; I’ve heard it’s not the best when it comes to blush.
