Ecotints tinted lip balm in Rose Quartz


Ecolips Ecotints
Naturally glistening lip moisturizer
Color: Rose Quartz
$3.99 from Ecolips.com

[Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Beeswax, Organic Castor Oil, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Vanilla, Organic Aloe Vera, Tocopherol, Iron Oxides, Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Candelilla Wax]

There are three colors to choose from: rose quartz, plush red, and mocha velvet.

I selected the rose quartz. It was the lighter of the colors. When you put it on it is a light shimmery berry pink.

When you put it on it smells like cocoa and coconut. It is pleasant, but it does not taste that great. It does not easily glide on your lips. I'm not to sure if it is the mica or what but this balm feels very dry and almost chalky. It tastes chalky.

I can't really testify for its durability because my lips do not like it. It lasted about an hour before i wiped it off because my lips felt so dry.

The color is nice and simple. This balm is a great alternative to lip stick, for those who want a natural product. This is a 90% organic lip balm.

My major problem with this balm is that it dries my lips out. On the Ecolips web page, they have customer testimonials of people who swear by this balm. It just did not work for me and i have never had any problems with the minerals found in it.

I am a HUGE Ecolips fan, as you can tell from my previous reviews, but this balm falls so short of their amazingness.

Overall, this balm makes a great natural lip color, if you are willing to have dry and chalky feeling lips.

Rating: 1 outta 5
(It smells really good.)
