The trend of lavender shades in makeup is apparently still going strong this spring and I don’t mind that at all. I’ve been obsessed with lilac highlighters for years, but that’s the story for another time. Lavender on the lips can be tricky. It can easily be too much and you’re looking half dead or at least frozen, if you know what I mean. But if it’s done right, it can be your new favorite.
YSL Loveshine Candy Glow Balm in the shade 10b Lavender Blaze caught my attention immediately. I was on a hunt for a cool toned, sheer, easy to wear lippie that would give just that little something extra to my face.
This balm is very comfortable on the lips. It is hydrating, but not heavy or greasy. It is also not sticky, which is very important to me, because I hate that.
It smoothes the lips a bit and tastes and smells like watermelon (think about Hubba Bubba's from your childhood). The finish is very shiny, the color is sheer but buildable to some point.
I love this shade on me, I think it suits me very well. I am not a lipstick person and it’s very hard for me to find something I truly like.
But let’s be honest, this is just one of those expensive lip balms out there that is really overpriced. After 2-3 hours everything is gone and you need to reapply, so this will not last you very long. The packaging looks cute and feels luxurious, but the product itself is not revolutionary.
So a big thumb up for the color, but otherwise wait for a discount or search for a cheaper alternative.
