Nature Republic HONEY MELTING LIP (01 APRICOT) 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 lip gloss is not only super cute, but also really functional. The color is lovely and gives just the right amount of shine without being sticky. But my favorite part? The little button you press to push up more product it’s so satisfying and makes it feel a little extra special!I keep it in my bag and use it all the time. Highly recommend if you want a fun, pretty gloss with good texture that works just as good as it looks. It doesn’t provide plumping.

I love this product to be honest and the only reason I’m not giving this perfect starts is because the longevity leaves much to be desired. For the amount though, its a great and effective plumper that looks moist, subtle, and natural 🫦I’m planning to buy more in other colors because I can live with having to reapply every few hours; I just kind of personally treat it like a lip balm + lip tint + plumper combo because that’s really the vibes its giving. They give you a decent sized product that lasts a long while and I’ve been using this for a few months at this point.

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!!

I've purchased other colors of this and been thrilled. This particular color shoed as a natural pink lip color. When I first put it on it looked natural and glossy. Within an hour my lips were HOT PINK. I tried to wipe it off and my lips were sort of stained. Overall the texture and thickness of the gloss is good though

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 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.
