Vegan Again Juicy Glossy Lip Tint
Some of you may have seen me recommend this countless times in the discussion threads. That’s because it’s my current obsession. I love it so much I even wear it on days I’m not wearing any other makeup. Super nourishing and not overly goopy or sticky imo.

Product gifted for free by Touch In Sol in exchange for my honest review. I have been talking about this product a lot on Picky so I figured it was time to review it! I can get dry and cracked patches on my lips, which means not all lip products work out for me (and some stains make it look even worse). I had no problem with that with this product which is why I reach for it so often. It is super hydrating and I find myself reaching for it even on days when I’m not wearing makeup. That’s how much I adore this formula. It is not sticky at all, and really lightweight. Plus it leaves a stain behind if the top layer of gloss comes off from eating or drinking. So it really does last for multiple hours if not all day thanks to the stain. On the first image I did multiple swatches on the right side and then posted the images full sized for you all: full thickness of the gloss, partially blended out gloss on the outer half, and lastly what the stain looks like (the outer half being where I blended out the gloss so the stain is more subtle, the inner part being full opacity). It features orange oil, raspberry extract, and grapefruit water extract which is where it gets its subtle fruity scent (which I absolutely adored). And it’s available through Amazon if you’re in the states. Highly recommend! Note in the selfie, I’m wearing the shade Marshmellow.

This one is an amazing matte tint. It didn’t dry me out like some other matte formulas that I’ve tried have, and I get dry/cracked lips sometimes. I was really impressed with how good the staining was, and how it looked very close to the original color from application even after eating.

I received this product for free from Picky and ETUDE in exchange for my honest review. I have to say out of the three products that I received from Etude, this was my favorite. The doe foot applicator is easy to use, and lastly because it is a tint, it has fantastic staying power. This is an option that will last you through eating dinner with family or friends, and I highly suggest this option for someone looking for all day lip color (like say for a wedding for example). It applied evenly, and didn’t make the lines in my lips any more noticeable than they would be if I didn’t wear any lip product. The stain that stayed behind with wear was almost as pigmented as the initial application color was. Plus considering it is a matte color option, it wasn’t overly thick or drying. It was a lightweight option with full coverage. I also lucked out that the color that I received is actually very close to the natural color of my lips, so this is an amazing neutral option for people who have naturally pink lips like I do. I forgot to mention in the video review that it does have a subtle fruity scent to it, but it wasn’t intense or anything.

Another glossy tint option for people, I was impressed at how little transfer there was when I wore this. Unlike the ‘lip laquers’ that require dry time, you can apply this and go! I had minimal transfer when I was sipping on a straw, but the gloss layer can wear off if you eat while wearing this. Not quite as good as the first two, but I still loved this option.

This product was gifted for free by Vidivici and Picky in exchange for my honest review. If you hate traditional glosses for being sticky and gross, Vidivici has the solution for you. They were not lying when they said this lip gloss doesn’t transfer! I did a live with this product and was drinking some water and I was so amazed when I made the discovery. I immediately told my friends about the brand and product and made a review for this. I know there are some ‘gloss without the transfer’ products, but I haven’t found one that was didn’t transfer like this one when I drank or eat. Not only that, but the gloss leaves behind a stain, so if you do eat and some of the top glossy layer comes off, you still have color left behind on your lips. I cannot suggest this product enough! I was so happy with this, it is something I will be recommending to all of my friends and followers.

Dear Darling Oil Tint
If you want something more subtle, and hate glosses, this lip oil is a great option! They offer the look of a gloss without the texture of one. My only complaint is that these didn’t have as much color as some of the other options I listed. But this one was so comfortable, I forgot it’s was wearing it multiple times! This one is like a hydrating treatment and didn’t make the dry patches on my lips more noticeable.
MeaningInMakeup
I received this product for free from Picky and ETUDE in exchange for my honest review. This was probably the most pigmented of the three shades that I got, and it was my favorite because of that. This was not overly thick or goopy, so if you hate that about lip glosses, but still want the shiny look of a gloss, a lip oil like this one is the perfect solution! I find that lip oils (including this one) are also great lip treatments. This is a nourishing formula that wasn’t too thick or too thin. It didn’t make my dry skin on my lips look worse unlike some other tints that I’ve tried recently (even some from this same brand have given me that issue before). It’s a super comfortable formula, so much so that I sometimes forget I’m wearing anything on my lips. Because it is a tint, it leaves behind a subtle color even if you manage to eat or drink off the top layer of the oil. This is definitely my new favorite lip tint formula!

Millennial Velvet Lip Tint
Vidivici also offers a matte lip stain. I thought some of you may be interested because a lot of the stain/tints tend to be more glossy looking. I love that this can be built up to be more pigmented, or blended out to make it look more soft.
MeaningInMakeup
This product was gifted for free by Vidivici and Picky in exchange for my honest review. I was also impressed with this matte lipstick from Vidivici just like I loved their gloss formulation. This matte formula is the perfect nude for me, it’s very close to my natural lip color when I’m not wearing makeup. More importantly, it is a super lightweight option that didn’t feel drying for me. And it was transfer proof while leaving behind a stain if the top layer comes off when you eat or drink while wearing it. This is fantastic for people looking for lasting color, and I will be suggesting both this and the gloss to friends looking for an all day lip color.

Dear Darling Oil Tint
If you want something less pigmented or prefer nude colors, this is a great option from Etude. It looks like a clear gloss without any of the thick goopy texture of a gloss. When I reach for this line on days I’m not leaving the house, it’s usually this color or the Red Oil option.
MeaningInMakeup
I received this product for free from Picky and ETUDE in exchange for my honest review. This is one of the two ‘nude’ colors from this line. I say that because even though it has a very subtle pink tint to it, it looks more pigmented in the container than it does when I apply it to my lips. I’m not sure if that’s because of my natural lip color or what. But I consider it a nude option because of that. And of the two lighter shades, this one was definitely the lighter of the two (the other being Red Oil). When the top glossy layer of this tint wears off, the tint is barely there with this color, and that’s why I had to take one star off of my review. I do know that you can build up the color by layering it, but this one is hardly pigmented to start with. However, I will say I’m fine wearing this color around the house. In fact, I find this formula to be more nourishing than some of the other lip balms that I’ve used recently. It makes sense because oils are very nourishing and used in other skincare products. So why not use it in lip care products too? Especially because our lips also have skin on them. Just like all my other reviews of the colors from this line, I have to say how comfy this formula was to wear. It gives the appearance of a glossy lip without the texture of a gloss. It’s incredibly lightweight, it doesn’t feel tacky, thick, or goopy. I enjoyed this line so much, and it is definitely a new holy grail that I constantly find myself reaching for.

Honey Melting Lip
Who doesn’t love a lip gloss crayon? Super unique concept! Clickable lip gloss instead of a doe foot applicator. Super hydrating too!
MeaningInMakeup
I received this product for free from Picky and NATURE REPUBLIC in exchange for my honest review. I loved how comfortable this was to wear. The formula is thicker than some glosses that I’ve tried from other k-beauty brands recently, but it didn’t feel overly sticky. I found that thickness meant this product helped my lips stay hydrated. This is likely thanks to the 10 different oils and manuka honey in the formula. I’m someone who can get dry skin on their lips, and I didn’t feel like this formula made that more noticeable, which is another reason I liked this formula. The scent on this was minimal (it does feature fragrance on the ingredient list). I would say it leans on the sweet fruity side, and it reminded me of berry or grape candy. If you’re into neutrals and desire a glossy look to your lips, this is worth checking out in my opinion. This color of Berry, and Plum were my two favorites because they showed up better, and were slightly more pigmented. You can also apply more than one layer of this for more pigment. I don’t know about you, but I definitely like a product where you can play around with opacity and how it looks on your lips. Definitely recommend this one.
