Julep It's Balm Tint of Color Lip Balm - Black Cherry | Hydrating Lip Color with Vitamin E Core | Natural Gloss Finish | Vegan & Cruelty-Free

I ordered Dusty Orchid Shimmer on a whim. I don’t usually spend $14.95 on lip color at this point in my life(I used to buy top of the line make up from department stores). I have to say this is a nice product! It’s worth the money because the color is great and flattering, it’s not sticky nor Does it disappear Immediately after you put it on. The color is buildable, but then it comes off more easily. It’s moisturizing and the color lasts if you don’t go crazy with it. There are several colors I’d love to try. But I think I’ll try this one out for longer than a couple of days before I invest in more. But if you feel like treating yourself to a nice moisturizing lip color, I say go for it with this product! I do use a lip liner with it, as with other, sheer Or moisturizing lip products because I’m 56 and my lip outline can use a little boost to keep it neat and keep the color in place. I used a neutral Sephora lip balm with it and it was fine. The color blended and didn’t look weird. It looked natural but finished in attractive way! I don’t like to include photos with my reviews, but if I was going to, this would be a product that I would take a selfie with (If I took selfies regularly and not just to make sure look OK and then delete the photo). I looked too much like my mom and my dad in selfies for my own comfort, even though I’m MUCH thinner than either of them! Too thin to feel comfortable with random photos of myself. Blah, blah, blah!My point here is that it’s a great product so far and if you want a nice product without going overboard, I highly recommend this. Even without trying it on, and only a photo of the color and some reviews to go on I took a chance and it really was worth it! Normally, I buy Burt’s Bees colored lip balm, but this lip color lasts longer. It doesn’t have the nice minty taste- In fact, it has no discernible taste at all, which I find unusual. No fragrance like Chanel products. No taste like Burt’s Bees etc. Just moisturizing color that stays in place, especially if you use Lip liner because you’re getting a little bit older or you just appreciate a very neat lip outline! 👄Thanks for taking the time to read this review and I hope it helps! I find reviews very helpful so I tried to leave them whenever I’m impressed or terribly disappointed. This one is because I’m impressed!

To be clear- I LOVE this lipstick/gloss/balm. It really is quite a bit more lipstick than it is balm, so be aware that it carries a lot of color on the first swipe. Building it really pushes the color deep in to your lips, and it lasts a long time, and the balm part makes it smooth as silk. It's the colors that you have to watch out for. I chose the Vamped Up first. I'm a brunette with very light skin. It is very dark, rich, and purple/pink. Later I saw a new color- Black Cherry. It looked slightly more reddish. Less pink, anyway. When I got it and put it on, I thought oh, I must have grabbed the Vamped Up again by mistake. Nope! To check, I swiped both on my arm, the way the ad shows how the colors will look different. I laughed to see that they were exact! It's fine, because it's a very flattering color, but don't expect red tones.Also, I'm not sure why some reviewers complain about the packaging. You have to push the top back on until you hear a CLICK. That's when it's on! Nothing is falling off in your purse/bag, as long as you clicked it.There is no scent to the product, as far as I can tell. No flavor either.I've been using it for a few months, and I find my lips are as moisturized as if I'd been using Burt's Bees, so I really like this product and will be buying again.

I’m really loving the Julep It's Balm Tint of Color Lip Balm! It's the perfect mix of hydration and color. The formula feels super lightweight and comfortable on my lips, without any greasy or sticky residue. I love that it’s packed with nourishing ingredients like sunflower butter and vitamin E, so my lips stay soft and moisturized throughout the day.The color is buildable, which is awesome because I can either go for a soft, natural tint or layer it for a more vibrant pop. It's also super easy to apply on the go, thanks to the twist-up crayon design, so no sharpener needed. The best part is that it’s vegan and cruelty-free, so I feel good about using it.My only small gripe is that the color doesn’t last as long as traditional lipsticks, especially after eating or drinking, so I do need to reapply. But because the formula is so comfortable and it comes in such cute shades, it’s definitely worth the quick touch-ups. Overall, it’s become my go-to for a natural, everyday lip look with a little extra color!

I ordered the color "That's Sweet", as it looked to be a perfect watermelon shade. Well, it was much darker, like a dark red, and it went on more like a stain than a balm. I'm guessing the lighter colors would be better, but I thought this color would be like a typical balm, which is somewhat sheer. I wouldn't recommend this color as it's so much darker than the shade looks online.
