rom&ndGlasting Melting Balm 3.5g (06 KAYA FIG)

this is perfect for olive tones! just like your lips but better. soft, moisturising and glossy. reminds me of ysl glosses but much cheaper.

At first I had mixed feelings about the texture, then I understood that it stays on lips for much longer and keeps them moisturised more than a regular lip balm. I like the tint it gives and it is a good purchase!

I found out about rom&nd through Reddit - apparently Korean beauty products are good for cool toned pale people. I recently got typed as a cool winter and went down a makeup rabbit hole.I bought the Mauve Whip and it works so well for a relaxed daytime makeup. It doesn't last long but it's like any lipgloss in that sense, and it's not gloopy as a full on gloss might be. It also sheers out if you only want a hint of colour, but also can be built up for a more intense effect. It's worth the £8 I paid, but I wouldn't have bought it at its full price (£14), I'd rather put my cash towards a sheer Mac lipstick at that price point for a more premium product.

Lovely shade and quality

Very nice colour, and it’s moisturising my lips.

I've included a photo of my bare lips with no lip product; a photo of me wearing just a smudge of this; and a photo of me wearing a thicker layer of this. As you can see, the colour is very buildable - from an MLBB pinkish colour to a noticeably bright, slightly warm, pinkish red. The company describes this as a cool berry red but I disagree. This is not a cool red due to its slight warm tone, nor is it a typical berry colour because of its brightness and the fact it does not verge on a purple tone at all.Almost a lipstick but sheer enough not to be if smudged on lips. In terms of moisturising properties (and I have naturally dry, peeling lips), and I am very picky and selective about this in lip products, this has excellent moisturising capabilities for my dry lips. Even if I just smudge a small amount all over my parched lips, my lips instantly feel hydrated within minutes. It also does stain the lips a bit because it is after all a reddish tone and quite intense in colour. Probably one of the best red coloured lip balms on the market for the price.

I really like this lip balm, it's long lasting and the tint has good coverage. But the product doesn't last long. When it stops twisting up to indicate that it's finished, it's annoying because there's so much of the product left but I can't get to it. I disassembled it to reveal so much left. So disappointed because I really do like it.

Lovley shade esspecially for paler complection.
