As promised, here is the first review:
I tested the fresh sugar kisses lip duo first because it enabled me to get out of the metaphorical blogging gates quickly.
Non-tinted version:
First take: Smells great; make sure the duos are screwed on tight or else the balm will drop on the carpet (oops!)
smells/tastes very fruity, like lemons! Very slick, I think I probably applied too much product. I tend to slather on lip balm very religiously. This product does not require 'heavy slathering' :D Overall, I was a fan of this product; it gave my lips a nice subtle sheen. BONUS: I love that it has sun protection in it because I hate applying sunscreen to my lips! Yuck!
Tinted version:
First take: WOW THAT IS A BRIGHT COLOR! I'm a little scared now...ooh it's made in France!
I was initially hesitant due to the shade of the balm because I am fair skinned and dark lip product doesn't usually look very good...however, when I applied this product to my lips, I hardly even noticed a tint at all! It also smelled/tasted like lemons and had the same consistency as its sister, the non-tinted version. Overall, I liked the product, but if you are looking for more color, find a different product.
Note: When I blotted the balm on a tissue, the hue was clearly noticeable and was a nice pinkish-red. I just wish that color showed up on my lips!
Pros: quality moisturizing, great smell, quality packaging (metal)
Cons: the balm appears more colored than it applies, balm fell out of the package (twice!) when I opened it
