Why I love it
These smushy matte lip balms are exactly what the name says: the consistency of a thick lip balm, but with a soft matte finish. They're really moisturizing, silky on the lips, and not at all like those drying 2016 mattes. I love how buildable the pigment is (some go on bold, like soft sorbet, then sheer out), and they smell like candy, vanilla, berry. Fair warning, there's a bit of a learning curve. The balm applicator moves around, so precise edges take practice. My favorites are smuggle season for a my-lips-but-better shade and she's serving. Worth trying if you want easy color with comfort.
