   I bought this is shade grapefruit (think it’s number 3) the darker orange counterpart to apricot. Tin is super cute, looks small but actually with grapefruit I need hardly any product so I’m not worried about value for money, this is will last ages. The shade looks scarily neon orange in the tin, but it’s more natural on the cheeks. I have NC25-NC30 skintone and it’s a fresh flush of colour. I wouldn’t advise this one for paler tones as it will come out too strong. I didn’t like this as a lipgloss, obviously orange isn’t the best lip shade and it’s a bit streaky as someone else said. I would still put down the money for the “cream blush” alone as it’s really worth it, I paid £6. Oh also worth mentioning, it looks shiny in the tin, but when you put it on it’s not like that, just give it a rub in with the fingertips and it’s a very natural flush. I’m really keen to buy this is a few of the other shades as they would be great in a small handbag for day or night. Staying power is decent as well for a cream blush and the smell is gorgeously citrusy!
   I added a lippy cos I retried it as a liptint, put a lot more on and found this made it a) less streaky (can only see lines 10cm away and also I suspect it’s more the fault of a bit of dry lip as my top lip looks fine) b) neon orange+ my natural lip tone= a wonderful nude pink that reminds me of my NARS chinchilla lipgloss (pale pink nude look, ironically like the colour of pink grapefuit!). So for a more subtle day alternative this actually could work as lip tint as well. Awesome!!

   cute packaging – super small tin but BEWARE – i do not think this will keep well in heat, so if it’s super hot you may want to tote around something that’s not in a tin.

   smells lovely.

   works well as cheeck tint but streaky as lip balm.

   on cheeks it gives a dewy finish – i would not powder over it as it woudl then look cakey.

   i have tis shade in aprocot – the most natural shade in my opinion.

   not a heavy duty product by no means but good if you’re going to dinner & want a fresh dewy look.

   i woudl buy again just to try the other cute colours out =)

   I absolutely LOVE this stuff. It makes the most gorgeous tinted lipbalm or light lipgloss. I have it in the shades ‘apricot’ and ‘lychee’. l’d describe lychee as a muted orange/peach colour. It looks great on my NC37-40 skintone. Apricot is a light pinky peach colour, which is really pretty. The texture is really smooth and moisturizes my lips nicely. I like using it as a blush aswell – lasts nearly all day and gives me a nice subtle pop of colour that makes me look fresh. They have other colours available like a bright pink, a purple/brown colour…I haven’t tried those yet though. The packaging is small and convineant; it’ll fit in your purse or pocket easily and take up minimal room. Oh, and they’re scented too. They’re meant to smell like their name – so apricot smells of apricot etc…very nice. I’d definately repurchase these! Can’t think of any negatives, apart from having more product in the packaging 🙂
