I’m a big fan of lip tints, just because I tend to love to snack a lot during the day and wearing lipstick makes this difficult. So I was pleasantly surprised to find this in my goodie bags I received at MBBE last year.
It’s very easy to apply, squeeze just a bit (a little goes a long way) onto a brush or your finger tips and apply to your cheeks or lips! If you’ve shaken the bottle enough, the formula should be creamy (not shaking it will leave you with a very watery product). It gives a very natural flush to the cheeks, and lovely stained lips that will last for hours.
It has a very strong watermelon scent, which I listed as both a pro and con because not everyone loves scented products, I personally am not a fan of them, but the scent here is not long lasting and it’s more natural than others I’ve tried so I can live with it.
Despite loving the tube form (so hygienic since there is no double dipping!), it is difficult to control the amount that is dispensed.
Overall love it~ This is currently my favourite lip tint, but I’m not too fond of the price point which is pretty high. Given that, I use this product sparingly and consider it my luxury lip tint, especially since I have a few other cheaper lip stains to rely for now on a more daily basis.

I had a play with this at David Jones the other day, and would have described it exactly the way you have! Didn’t shake it, watery as. When I did it was lovely though, very nice colour and I don’t hate the scent. Great review!

Yay! I’m so glad you can agree with my review, that’s a relief hehe. Even though I know reviews are very subjective, it’s always a good feeling when others agree 🙂

Ooh yes, this is a lovely tint, but without shaking it first, it’s completely runny. I love it as a cheek tint though…lip tint not so much. hehe….

I’m not so good with lip tints for some reason ehe, I prefer it as a cheek tint too.
