**Note: I obtained an "oops" product. The top cooled unevenly, and therefore bumps occurred. You're Lustre will have a wonderfully smooth top.**


This lip balm is actually a lip tint. It does have a wonderful color, and I have found if you use a lip stain as a base, this color stays longer and looks stunning. It is sheer if you put it on lightly. Yet if you put three or more layers on, it gives your this classic pin up, sultry dark red lip.

To put it on, I first used my finger, then realized that was silly because it stained my finger. So I recommend you do not use your finger. I now have been using my lip brush to put it on, but if you are not a fan of those, Q-tips work just as well. Another warning though.... this does stain your clothes.

This balm does not go on waxy or slimy at all. When I first looked at it I thought, crap... this is going to be some slick glossy color that doesn't actually stay. Oh boy, was I wrong. This lip tint goes on like the best balm I could imagine. It is smooth and really coats your lips in a great way. It is a nice texture, one I would compare to a luxurious M.A.C. lip stick yet more breathable for your lips. Another great aspect of this tint is that your lips do not dry out. The Eco Lips Tint seemed to absorb moisture form your lips rather than seal it in, and this Lustre does a great job keeping your kisser soft and supple. I mean, look at this great color!


And before I wrap this up, let us not forget the scent!
It is this great pomegranate flavor and scent.
It is sweet and fresh, like cutting into a ripe
pomegranate. It is deeeee-lish!!!


This lip luster lasts a while. Again, if you put it over a lip stain, it seems to last longer. It does hold up well against drinking and eating if you let it sit for about ten minutes for your start gobbling and such.

Overall, this has got to be one of the best natural lip tints I have come across on Etsy. My only complaint is that I feel with how cute of designs 4th Ave. Soap Co. has on their business cards, an equally cute and sophisticated label could appear on this balm. That would be the only suggestion for improvement I could offer.

Rating: 4.5 outta 5

[The Adios Qee is from my new Tokidoki for Le Sportsac purse. They will no longer exist so get them now while you can! Great investment!!!! Plus the Tokidoki bags will be pricier and possibly not as great as the established Le Sportsac quality]
