How cool is this hydrating lipstick from Givenchy! It looks like a menacing black color, but when you put it on, the lipstick reacts to your own personal pH and creates an unique color just for you! Love that!

I notice on other people Givenchy Le Rouge Hydra Balm in color 10 gives off more of a dark pink or light purple tone. On me, I hardly notice a color. It’s a little on the dark pink side, but very light. This makes the lipstick great for casual, everyday wear when you want the no-makeup look. It’s also hydrating, so it’s a more put together look than non-color lip balm.

The case is really easy to use, especially if you try to open it one-handed. It’s magnetic so it opens and closes without effort. Love that! It’s also very pretty in my handbag. I mean, aesthetics are everything, am I right? haha

So, if you are looking for a light, hydrating lip balm that doubles as a light color lipstick, this is the one! Love it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Prada mini moisturizing lip balm trio review

prada mini moisturizing lip balm trio set review

How cute is this mini moisturizing lip balm trio from Prada! I prefer lip colors which are subtle, so when I saw this set, I knew it would be perfect.

Although the lip balm’s themselves are in funky colors such as blue, green, and yellow, they actually go on as shades of pink. (on me) So, the color change is entertaining.

The lip balm colors are activated by your personal pH balance, so they will look a little bit different on everyone. That being said, they are subtle shades of pink on me, so your lips won’t turn the color into anything overbearing or offensive. You can trust the process.

On me, they are shades of light pink. If you have naturally darker lips, the colors will react differently. You can click here to see how they might look on different colored lips depending on pH balance.

The consistency is like lipstick, not a lip balm such as Chapstick or EOS. So, I am putting these in my lipstick collection rather than balm collection. That being said, they do not dry out lips, so I find these mild color lip balms to be ideal for casual days and no make-up days. Love them!
