I was looking for a nude lip balm, that would be something subtle that I could add to my regiment. This colour is in an identity crisis. It doesn't know whether or not to be a shade of brown that could hardly be called nude for my skin tone, and a bright pink that pops out from your lips and is anything but nude. When you look at the balm itself, you can see the pinky undertone that is hiding within the product. Although when you apply it, there's this dark nude quality to it, over time it becomes this almost fuschia, perhaps magenta, like colour that sticks to your lips for the rest of the day. Even reapplying doesn't help because you only add more of the pinky undertone that emerges after the nude has wiped off.

On the plus side though it does smell delicious. It has this wonderful chocolate aroma that is addictive. If only it gave me the nude colour I was looking for, I'd wear it all the time.

I was looking for a lip balm that would give me some colour as I was testing out lip colours for my day to day look. I picked up this colour because it was playful and had a good match to my skintone. It applies smoothly, and lasts a decent amount of time, but over time it changes colour. It goes from a pretty kind of coral-pink, to a bright shade of pink that stains your lips - which is probably the "lasting finish" part. It's moisturizing so my lips don't dry out, but I have to use makeup remover to get it off my lips at the end of the day. Not quite what I was looking for, and the fact that it changes colour partway through means the look I start my day with is not the one I end it with.

Supplied picture is not the colour I bought.

This lip balm is like the lip crayons but the colour does not stay in place or on your lips long, the texture is smooth but you have to constantly reapply which does not make the colour stick. It's a cheaper lip crayon but there's a reason for the decrease in price, the quality.
