*Review* 1Skin Solution NEW Tinted Lip Butter

Last week, I received this tinted lip butter in the mail. Yay!


This is a New "Tinted Lip Butter" Product from 1Skin Solution.
Available 4 shades
Strawberry Rose Champagne
- Coconut Plum
- Guava Lemonade
- Almond Biscotti

and.... I've got a Guava Lemonade ;)

The Positives,
First impression for the package was...
not so attractive but it is a SIMPLE BEAUTY.
Smells subtle but you will find it has a yummy lemonade scent.

Guava Lemonade shade is very soft peachy colour that would be great for everyday use.
the butter gives my lips nude but feminine tone on.

Some Negatives...
I guess it supposes to be easy to use but I found some struggle with it.
It is very flaky. maybe because they use many natural ingredients...?!
when I tried the lip butter on, it left some flakes on my lips.
It was certainly NOT pleasant but as soon as  I tapped and blended it with my finger,
the colour finally got evenly toned.

the texture of the butter is not smooth as other brand ones like Revlon
and slightly tacky, dead-skin magnet...you must have exfoliated clean skin. lol

Also, this is happened to my Vanilla Lip Balm
but the lip butter has huge hole in the middle of tube.
Maybe most of you don't care about it but I'm a bit of a perfectionist...
that is something I cannot stand :S
It is simply difficult to use when there is a flaky part.
Unfortunately, the delicate texture is too delicate for me.


This is not colour-stay lipstick so don't expect colour stay long on your lips. 
As you can see in the photo, it will leave the stain colour on the cup easily.


Over all, loved package, shade and scent 
but I would have preferred better texture.

*Review* 1Skin Solution Vanilla Lip Balm

The best vanilla Lip Balm I have ever tried!


I got this one from lust have it  monthly subscription.
As I have received too many lip balm before from other beauty box merchants,
I was not so excited to see it in the box first.
Also, I'm usually go for citrus scent not sweet one like vanilla.
I thought I won't use it and even thinking to give it to my friend...

HOWEVER, one day I couldn't fine my regular lip balm and 
my lips were desperately needed a lip balm, 
so used this 1Skin Solution Vanilla Balm for first time...

I was so pleased with this lip balm!
It is kinda surprising because I'm not a huge fan of the scent.
1skin solution's vanilla is very subtle and not smell too artificially.
It also fits on my lips very well and gives instant moisture that I needed.
I've found my lips stayed nice & soft for a relatively long time.

Well, if you are looking for a vanilla lip balm, I recommend this 
1Skin Solution Vanilla Lip Balm :)

Only one negative...as you can see in the photos,
there was a huge hole in the middle of balm
(believe to be a bubble went in when it was manufactured...)
but I'm not disappointed much as I'm very happy, beside that.

a hole in the balm
a hole made uneven surface but quality of balm  is still great
