Nature Republic HONEY MELTING LIP (02 FIG) SOFT LIP STICK, Hydrating Gloss, Moisturizing balms, Sheer tint, Shine & Nude, Glowy Finish, korean make up

Goldilocks lippie. I grew up with Clinique Almost Lipstick and tried it again from nostalgia to find that it's not that hydrating on 52-year old lips. This is fantastic however, and gives me everything I want from a sort of "almost lipstick but not quite" product. It's hydrating; the berry is a juicy, cool shade that doesn't oxidize; it has a slightly glossy but not gloopy feel and finish; it leaves a wash of color I can apply balm over for a natural vibe or enhance with a liner; it is effortless and looks like "I woke up this way"; it's unscented and non-irritating; it's everything I want from a tinted gloss type thing. Tarte has an equivalent (they're trying to copy this, I think), and it's four times the price, and it dries my lips right out.It is also simultaneously on trend and timeless: you want a blurred, impressionistic lip? Apply and blot like we did in the 90s. Fancy a glossy finish? Apply liberally (you might not need more gloss, but it will rock over the hint of stain this leaves as it wears off).Because of the nature of these soft meta lipsticks (is it tinted balm or almost lipstick, etc) I'm sure it won't last for months and months, but at this price point I don't even care. Every cool Asian girl, every cool French girl, walks out in lips like this, if that helps. If the best, multi-dimensional skin tint had a lippie equivalent it would be this. My lips but so much better.For myself I'm just delighted to have found a lippie that ticks every box, and I can't rec it highly enough.

I really like the packaging for this lip gloss. I'm not a huge fan of products you have to unscrew; it takes a lot more effort to use them and usually they're harder to apply. This basically applies like a lip balm. I ordered pink and I also really like the color. It goes on basically sheer and then becomes a nice bubblegum pink after a few seconds. Apparently this is a PH pink product which I actually didn't realize but to be honest, all PH color shifting products seem to turn the same shade of bright pink which fortunately is a flattering color on me.I don't notice any plumping effects from this. It's a little tingly, but more like a mint balm. It's not painful to wear like some plumping stuff and the mint flavor goes away.

This product does give the illusion of plumper lips. It goes on smooth & creamy. That being said, not crazy about clicking the bottom of the tube to get the product out. To me, it's an unnecessary gimmick. The lip color stays on well but changes color. I ordered light pink. The light pink is a lovely shade. It changes from light pink to a darker shade after being on a short time. Not a terrible change but a definite one. This was my experience. All lips are different.

I love it!! It's a super pretty color and it's pigmented but not in a "don't use too much" way. It has a really nice consistency, it's not too thick or sticky. It is very glossy, which I LOVE. It is extremely convenient and I love the "pen" aspect of it. The only thing that might be considered as bad is that when it gets really hot it'll melt, but most things do so I don't mind. Overall I love this product and I'll definitely buy more in the future!!

This is my second time buying this lip gloss, but in a different shade - that’s how much I like it! The texture is smooth, lightweight, and comfortable, not sticky at all. It gives a beautiful shine and feels really nice on the lips. It’s not super long-lasting, but that’s totally fine - it’s a lip gloss, so I don’t expect it to stay on forever. I just reapply when needed, and it still looks fresh and pretty.I also really love the shade range - both colors I’ve tried are super flattering. Definitely planning to try even more!

This one is spicy, so if you have really sensitive lips don’t bother! It’s not tacky or sticky in anyway, slides on smoothly but it burns for sure for a few minutes. I put some kind of lip balm on first and then layer this one over it because I just don’t love the burn. Very glossy and pretty without feeling sticky or tacky.

The color is perfect and easily layered for a darker, richer look so it’s versatile. I especially love the design of the tube and the “clicking” to apply. It’s summer in the Midwest and for the first time in years, I haven’t lost a lipstick to the heat thanks to this design. It doesn’t dry out my lips either and has a great moisturizing feel to it when on. Love this product!

This product is definitely fun to wear. When it comes to plumping I do see a difference with my lips. I do recommend using lipstick afterward to make it pop more. After you pair the lip plumping with a lip stick of your choice you really get that full glam and shine. It really does moisturize your lips meaning it doesn’t becomereally dry. It’s sized almost like a sharpie pen, and it melts on your lips. I think the value was a tad pricey but it was reasonable and it’s great quality.
