SashaGrace review for 01 Coco Nude

Amazingly, somehow, I am an ambassador now for Rom&nd. 😂 I didn't expect it, but it's pretty cool. I bought two balms (05 Nougat Sand and 07Mauve Whip) and another Bare Water Cushion in 04 Beige 23 (already had Sand 25) with my own money, but checked out with a discount. ✨20% off Rom&nd code: PaintedMonolid (If used, it will give me 5% in commission.) As for these balms . . . •The price I see on Rom&nd's site is $14 USD down from $17.90. Plus whatever site discount they may have or through my 20% off code, you can get it for an even lower price. 💗They're basically gloss sticks. I don't really think of them as balms. 💗The formula feels thick, moisturizing, doesn't cause peeling on me like other lip glosses, and is not at all sticky. It twists up and twists down, but it's so melty you really don't want to crank up much at a time. 💗I prefer thicker lip formulas due to some suspected cheilitis. It really adheres to the lips and doesn't easily come off or feather. It will come off with eating and drinking, but if you're careful a lot can remain. 💗There is a slight sweet scent. If you've ever had Korean plum candy, that's what it smells like ☺️ 💗These do not stain. 💗I love the sheer color of Nougat Sand. It's been my quick go-to nude lip, especially while I'm out teaching and don't want my students seeing my crusty uneven lips 😅 💗I also think I prefer this formula to their Bare Juicy Tint. I looove the colors, like Pomelo and Bare Grape, but after some time it turns kind of gummy and I don't like to just layer more on top. I'll have to remove the existing product, then newly apply. ✨But with this Melting Balm formula, there isn't any gummy build-up and you can apply over it when you need more. UPDATE 02/14/2023: I wear this every day. I will absolutely purchase Nougat again when I have finished it, and I'm definitely hoping for some new cooler colors.
