Color is a perfect complement to my tone
Review by Katy T. on 4 Jan 2023 review stating Color is a perfect complement to my tone
Really like lip/cheek stains since I’m a makeup minimalist. I hate the metta good lip/cheek stain, which is a more wine-like color. But wanted to try something more warm in tone since I have green and gold in my brown eyes. This stain is the ticket, except I need to use much more than my metta good stain. Also, kinda wish I didn’t have to stick my fingers in it each time. Otherwise, really prefer this one because of the color.

Smells Like Christmas
Review by Andrea G. on 19 May 2022 review stating Smells Like Christmas
This balm has a nice berry flavored tint. The color is not super strong, but it perfect for those days when you want to look just a little brighter and refreshed. Very moisturizing for the lips and layers nicely under the lip paints if your lips are a bit dry and if you want to alter lip paint colors a bit. The smell reminds me of Christmas and fades quickly. I don't really use it on my cheeks as my cheeks tend to be a little on the pink side already. Looks much darker in the jar than when worn.

This balm has a very pretty tiny; kind of sheer but buildable. It looks great on the lips!

We’ve noticed that a lot of Lip and Cheek Stain fans tend to sleep on its spicy sister Ruby Red. Like the Solange to Lip and Cheek’s Beyonce, Ruby Red is more mysterious at first but it’s charms run deep. A light wash of orangey-red, and subtly scented with essential oils of clove and orange, it’s a quick fix of color before your next zoom call and a buildable blush for your daily rounds.

You know that mug that somehow gets out of your morning rotation and as soon as you see it in the back of the cupboard you think: dang, I miss that guy! Ruby Red is often passed on by as we reach for Lip & Cheek Stain. So now it’s time for Ruby Red Tinted Balm to get the play she deserves. Ruby Red leans on the side of a deep orange, covering different territory than our beloved Lip & Cheek Stain. This balm gives lips that ‘just ate a cherry popsicle’ pout, while essential oils of clove and orange make us feel warm and fuzzy.
