Stylevana order, took 2-3 weeks after ordering (all items were “in stock” at time of purchase).
Skin tone: light-medium warm
Texture: lightweight, somewhere between water and oil, slippery (more than romand’s JLT). After it dries down more it feels more like a waxy lip-balm.
Color: Nude with a slight hint of pink. This is the lightest color in the range, I do not think it would work for anyone with a darker skin color than I have.
Coverage: medium, can see some hyperpigmentation with 1 coat but is less noticeable with 2nd coat. Swatches on lips done with 2 coats.
Pros:
– Pleasant, lightweight texture
– Does not dry down lips (looking at you, juicy lasting tint)
– Leaves a pigmented stain even after eating
– Perfect MLBB color for lighter skin tones
Cons:
– Gloss/shine does not last long and comes off after eating or drinking. I smacked my lips together 3-4 times and the gloss subdued greatly.
– Not moisturizing. While it doesn’t dry out my lips it doesn’t protect against winter winds.
– Stain can settle into dry patches
Overall 4.25/5 – I haven’t tried many lip tints in general but I’m someone who hates any form of sticky in my glosses and have dry lips. Ex: I think peripera ink mood glowy tint and romand’s glasting tints/balms are too sticky. Overall it’s a great lip for indoors and for people who are picky about stickiness. I personally think I’ll reach for this over this sub’s beloved JLT, but I don’t consider it my HG. Again, this shade in particular I do not recommend to darker skin tones.
