   Color doesn’t last long but this feels simply wonderful on your lips. I would use this forever.

   I have 3 of these. Peach Passion, Plumberry Pop, and Tangerine Pop. I haven’t really tried the Tangerine Pop yet. I am in love with these. The peach is somewhat lighter/sheer on me and I feel wears beautifully. However, it does lean more towards a pink peach rather than a true peach. I am a little disappointed in Plumberry because it does lean more pink. I was looking for a true berry and ordered these online. If I’d seen in person, I probably wouldn’t have bought it. But it is still a beautiful color nonetheless. Like the other reviewers have said, these can wear off to leave a stain. I noticed this most with Plumberry. On me, it wears off to a fuchsia which is not what I was looking for.

   I ALWAYS gravitate towards lipsticks when I’m looking at makeup. But here’s the kicker…I rarely wear lipstick because, no matter how hydrating it’s supposed to be, it always seems to dry out my lips and make the peel and flake. I almost always have to layer a balm or gloss underneath or on top. And forget about any lip product that has mint or any plumping ingredients. I LOVE these because there is no flavor or scent and after 2 days of wearing Peach Passion my lips quit flaking and peeling. I wish there was a clear one cause I’d buy like 5 of them to stash everywhere. lol I plan on going to Ulta and looking at more of these and probably will end up buying a few more shades. I just hope the other pink shades don’t turn bright and fuchsia on me like some brands do.

   Update…..wore the Tangerine Pop today. Ehhh….I’m going to have to downgrade these from 4 to 3 lippies. I still like these. But as it got colder over the weekend, my lips are back to being dry and flaky. So apparently it was the warmer weather and not these that improved my lips. Also, all 3 colors have pink in them. The Tangerine pop starts off as an orangey peach color but morphed into a coral that leans more towards pink. I do have pigmented lips so I sometimes have trouble with some colors either turning weird on me or not even showing up. I do want to try two more colors but I’m going to Ulta to see them in person first. I think the peach passion is one that I will continuously reach for. But I’m disappointed that these like to turn pink.

   I had been wanting a moisturizing tinted balm to add to my stash for a while and when I heard of these, I was intrigued.

   I swatched 7 of the 8 (the nude was sold out) at Sephora and was impressed, because I initially thought they’d be pretty weak, but they hold a decent amount of color.

   I took home the Rose Passion, described as a deep blush, and the Plumberry Pop, described as a pink plum. The rose, to me, looks like kind my platonic ideal of rose — kind of a warm blush that’s not too pink, very MLBB — and the plum shade does really look like a pinky plum shade.

   After that I decided to pick up another one of these, the Punch Pop, described as a vivid watermelon. It’s a beautiful, vibrant color and the formula is as light and lovely as the others I have. I don’t think this one lasts as long as the others, but it fades nicely and pretty evenly. In addition I bought the Nude Passion and the Pink Passion. Nude is very MLBB and the pink is a cheery medium pink that veers bright but isn’t garish.

   All fade pretty evenly. It’s not the most moisturizing formula ever — I think Lipstick Queen’s lip tints feel more slick and moisturizing, but don’t last nearly as long — but I still like it. Mainly it’s so light it’s easy to be almost fooled that it’s not there, if that makes sense, but they never leave my lips feeling uncomfortable or parched. Mainly I want to apply more because they feel so silky with that wonderful glide. They never feel like they’d migrate and I have worn these many times and never found that the center of my mouth is naked while I have a bunch of lipstick adhering to the edges of my lips, so that in itself is fantastic. And again, I am just in love with how light these feel on the lips. No heavy gloss feel. No thick, waxy balm sensation.

   They all leave a lovely wash of color. After the shine fades they leave a pretty stain, especially the plum.

   There’s not really any scent or flavor that I notice, and I can be picky about things, especially if it’s too perfumey or fruity, but there’s none of that here.

   My main complaint is I wish this cost a little bit less, but it’s made in the USA and comes in a pretty little box, too, and the packaging is pretty and well-made, so I’m happy.

   One other thing is I’d love to see a couple more shades added, maybe a red and a true plum or a wine shade. I know for Christmas 2015 there was a crimson LE one, which I missed. I hope they add that to the mix. I’d love to try it.
