I was looking through Ebay for some natural lip balm, and these came up. I'm into Wei East right now, so I was really excited to see these Asian inspired lip tints.
I'm going to run down these by color, because they all go on a little different.
This smells like a fancy schmancy lip stick. It goes on with a nice glide and the sparkles are not gritty. They blend in smoothly and your lips feel nice and glossy. The color is a summer bronze. It is somewhat sheer, but as you can tell in the photo, the color is just enough to warm up your lips. It doesn't taste like anything in particular, but it is a peculiar flavor. It is not displeasing, just different. It is a warm flavor, possibly from the camellia oil. It wears for about 2 hours.

Although this photo is somewhat blurry, this Coral Rose is a perfect light pink. It looks great on pale skin. It is warm and compliments the natural hue of the lips. It smells like the older Chanel lip stick my grandmother used to wear. It's a bit intense, but when you put it on, it fades. This glides on nicely, yet it is a bit harder than both of the other balms. This lip balm really made my lips feel nourished and silky smooth. I would not recommend licking your lips, it is does not have a pleasing taste. This balm lasts for about 3 hours, and does not stand up to eating or drinking.

Mocha Latte Lip Balm
This balm has the least amount of pigment. It is a sheer warm gold/brown that makes your lips glow in a way. It is the best smelling lip balm, reminiscent of a big, dark cup o' coffee. This balm goes on a bit waxy, but if you rub your lips together it smooths out to this wonderfully silky feeling. This, like the Coral Rose offers a quenching sensation on your lips, but it does not last that long, maybe a half hour. The wears for about 2 hours.

Overall, these balms are a great alternative for lipstick. It is a nice sheer color and shimmer, so even for a little girl, these are radtastic.
Overall Rating: 4 outta 5
(there are a lot of other flavors and colors available as well as some other natural bath, body and skin products!)
