CATKIN Lip Balm Color Tinted Changing Lipstick Ultra Hydrating Lip Moistrurizer Chapstick with Vitamin E Nourishing For Cracked & Dry Lips 0.12 oz 2pcs (01+06)

Keeps lips moisturised and great colours

I can't get over how beautiful this product is both the container and the lip balm itself. The balm is wonderfully moisturizing and feels great on the lips. I feel it turned a very pretty, natural color once on my lips. The sparkle does not come off on the lips. The case is gorgeous and I honestly gasped when I realized the lid is magnetized. It gives a very satisfying click when you put it back on.

This is such a beautiful lipstick. Starting with the case, the design is gorgeous . It closes with a magnet and doesn’t pop open in your purse. The colour is also beautiful and goes on smooth and silky, and doesn’t stain your lips. It also has no weird smells or tastes like some lipsticks do!!

I purchased the shade "Amythyst". I've seen this clear color changing lip balms for a while, namely the "winx" brand at target and ulta. I think I tried one on at ulta and did fancy it. I wanted to buy one for a friend of mine as a Christmas present because she's been wanting one. I did some browsing and ended up going with this brand (catkin). It had the highest rating per review, and the packaging was very pleasing, we both love Asian dramas, so this Chinese brand seemed fitting. I was skeptical about if it would work, the colors looked light on the picture. Naturally, I was going to try it out first and then repurchase for my friend if it met my expectations. And oh my god it so did. First of all, my skin is of a medium complexion with olive undertones, and this showed up beautifully! The color I chose is a light pinkier color on the picture, but on my lips it's a little darker, literally just by a shade, and maybe more red. I made my sister try it out, her skin is darker than mine, by a shade or 2, she has more of a brown complexion with neutral undertones, and on her, it deposited pink, very much like the picture. I don't know the mechanism behind ph changing technology in makeup, but these are my results. Both of us loved it. Second, I don't wear makeup often, and I've gotten out of the habit of wearing any lip color. I used to wear a lot of dark colors, liquid lipsticks, and regular lipsticks, but it's such a hassle to maintain it throughout the day. So, this is such a suitable, happy medium for me. I get to wear some color on my lips without looking overkill. If it smears, the color doesn't slide all over the place. It's just so pretty and natural-looking, which I'm now obsessed with. Now, in terms of the color payoff and how long it lasts, it's almost like a stain, I notice that even if the shine of the balm goes away, there's still a light color left over. I don't find it to be dramatically buildable, you can definitely reapply, but it looks like the same shade just refreshed. Third, I'm very sensitive to the feeling of stuff on my skin. I don't like lotion, or the feel of oil on my skin, I hate gloss and most chapsticks because they tend to slide all over the place. BUT THIS BAAABBBYYYY, oooo boi ! I am so thrilled to have discovered this brand and product, I actually went on their website to buy an entire set of these. If you have severe dry lips, I don't that this really cater or advertises to those problems, but as far as an every day hydrating lip balm this goes above and beyond. It delivers a very light but nourishing feel with it being to slimy or sticky or dry. Its the goldilocks of balms in my opinion. When I have this on, I don't feel tempted to take it off like I do with others because it's just that comfortable. You don't feel it on your lips but it's there. If you've been looking to buy a clear color changing lip product, I highly suggest going with this brand. It's beautiful both in deposit and packaging; it has a magnetic closure which just feels very luxe, secure and durable. The artwork is just gorgeous, it's effective at delivering a nourishing and comfortable layer on the lips along with sporting a beautiful natural color :)

I was delighted that the delivery was right on time. It is a beautiful product with a magnetic cap. The colour applies more naturally if subtlety with a bit of a sparkle is what you are in the market for. One of my go to's. I hope to buy from them again!
