Thoughts: When I received this product, I was excited to try it! I need hydrating lip treatments in my life.
Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's a slight scent while applying. It becomes more noticeable after couple of seconds and disappears as quick as it appears. I just sniffed the product and there's a scent. To be honest, it doesn't smell like rose to me. It smells more vanilla. The interesting thing is when I apply it, it smells like vanilla. Couple of seconds later I smell rose. Then the scent disappears. It's pretty interesting I must say! Secondly, the packaging is so adorable. I love it! It's simple, made out of metallic, and the color is gorgeous. It's a metallic pink/rose. I'm usually not a pink person but I actually like the color. It's not out there. It's sturdy and well-made. I don't see any finger marks and stains. Not only that, the top is sturdy. It has a magnetic closure. I might sound like a child but it's fun opening/closing the top. I hear a click and there's magnetism from the top to the bottom. I cannot see it open unless you open it manually. Also, I cannot see it break unless you are rough with the packaging. For that reason, it's travel-friendly. Third, the consistency is buttery and soft. It just glides on and does not tug on the lips. It leaves a nice, smooth, slightly glossy layer. It's not sticky and greasy. Honestly, it feels like a lot of lip balms. With that said, it doesn't fall in-between the fine and deep lines. It covers on top of the lips. Fourth, the color is very light or at least it is on me. I have naturally light pink lips. Most color turns slightly pink to pink depending on the color of the lip product. The color turns brighter on me compared to most people. My friend and I both used the same color lip gloss (she gifted me one). It looked natural on her, whereas, it was brighter on me. Hopefully, you have an idea the pigmentation of my lip. With that said, this did turn my lip rosy but on the natural side. It's my lips but better type of pigmentation. It'll look good on all skin tones, as well as, it's great all year round. Lastly, the main purpose of this product isn't for the color. It's not a lipstick or lip gloss. It's a lip treatment with a slight tint of color. With that said, it's hydrating. I wore it all day to see if my lips improved and it did. I have slightly dry lips during this season. No matter what, I need to moisturize all day long everyday of the year. Throughout the day, I noticed less dry patches and youthful looking lips. It's extremely comfortable and I did not see any white residue in the center of the lips. I highly recommend this product to everyone from young to mature lips.
