This hydrating lip balm reacts to your body's chemistry to transform into a unique pink shade that enhances your natural lip color.
I'll admit that I was skeptical about the "color changing" properties of this lip balm… I remember some terrifying ones from the 90's that turned my lips fluorescent pink.
Thankfully this lovely new product from Birchbox's new Arrow line is a smooth, unscented, balm that flushes my lips a rosary pink with more shine than Chapstick and less than a gloss. Perfect for an easy fresh faced look on the go. Now I'll be buying one for home, work, and my makeup bag!
My lips are always dry, especially in the winter and I also tend to bite my lips. Bad habit, I know. I probably have helped to keep chapstick in business of the years because I am always buying it. I used this lip balm and the dryness was gone and it seemed to erase any evidence of lip biting overnight. It produced a nice deep pink color that went well with my light skin tone. Did not feel the need to reapply after a few hours like others I've used. I've replaced the chapstick in my purse with this lip balm and take it with me everywhere. Will definitely repurchase!
5This product and I have a very love-hate relationship.. I do enjoy how it makes my lips feel. Gives a slightly moisturized and slightly tingly combo feeling. Not bad. However, take my advice and don't lick your lips though.. Eww. Now to get to the color enhancing properties of this product.. When you look at the balm in the tube, it is a very faintly pink balm. When I first put it on my lips it goes from no color to a slightly reddish hue. Not bad... But give it another 10 minutes or so and it changes again for some reason... it turns into a relatively vibrant shade of Barbie pink. Definitely not a good color on me. It was actually a surprise the first time I put it on and only I realized it had turned that color because of the reaction of a Starbucks employee when I walked in to get my coffee. Imagine my surprise when I looked in the mirror when I hoped back in my car. I think I must've sat there a good 10 minutes laughing at my reflection and the situation. When I'm in a goofy mood I'll rock my Barbie lip look but for the most part this balm just sits in my makeup bag.
4I'm a chap stick/lip balm addict and this one is just amazing. It has the mint like Burt's and is super nourishing. Winter time is hard on my lips and this definitely helps to repair them. Plus I love that it changes it's tint slightly after applying. Reminds me of some 90s lip sticks that did that.
5Okay so I never wear lipstick because I always feel like it’s too much color. I prefer neutral glosses, etc.
I didn’t really know what to expect with this but I LOVE it. It’s so easy to use, gives a little extra pink pop, and I got so many compliments on the way it looks. Will definitely be a staple for me
