During Sephora sale, I couldn't resist picking a Sugar lip treatment. People rave about it and I so I need it. And little did I know Bellabox gave a mini one for their I believe May box. So now I have two and I'm glad I picked up the shade Passion from Sephora.
This is 4.3g with a really nice metal like packaging, aluminum is my guess. It's just so light. Passion is described as a vibrant yet sheer rouge shade. That day there wasn't much shade to choose from, and I just wanted something more red.
The balm feels really good when applied. So smooth and moisturizing. It just feels great on the lips. But applying it has to be my fav.
Then I think my baby lips kind of have the same smoothness when apply, that's why I like them. So I switch around. Even my Korres lip butter sometimes give me the same smoothness feel during application. But I do realize the packaging is what makes Sugar so much better. Sugar is more luxurious to use. It is not cheap plastic feel, so you feel like you are putting on a high end product, which I guess kind of justify for the cost.
Then when I receive this 2.2g of mini in Rose (a rosy tint), I am so happy. It's a pretty shade, less noticeable on my lips. But apparently this melts faster than the original size, that's why the picture is quite pigmented. I mean I slathered it on.
Since it is smaller, it doesn't apply quite as nice. Why? It is just too small. So I focus less on the packing and more on the product.
What I conclude is that it really doesn't matter what the packaging is. The balm is really fantastic. It is just so nice to apply. I mean so far it has to be my fav lip balm (ignoring the price). I always thought its packaging helps. End up the balm is just that awesome and even of its in plastic container, it will be just as great.
So smooth and luxurious. Moisturizing without appearing heavy. It sits comfortably on the lips. I love the tints. I love the bit of shine it gives. I love the SPF.
The cons, obviously is the price and the fact that it is so soft that it melts so easily. So I have not taking it out of my room. Even so the Rose one melts. It is just not something you can bring out in your purse. So that's a big downside.
Yes I will repurchase. I want all of them but I'm still searching for the cheapest way to buy them.
The less luxurious dupe will be Maybelline baby lips color in Berry Crush.
