BATTLE OF THE BALMS!
Persona DayMask Peptide Lip Balm in Pomegranate:
rstyle.me/+Ls2QoOycKxB1Yq4GB0u8ew
Price: $22
Shades: 3
Scent: tart pomegranate
Formula: Thin, slippy
My experience: I LOVE the color of this berry because it has more red in it. I also prefer the scent most because it’s a tart pomegranate smell, which is unique and refreshing. Smells like the real thing, not artificial. This is also my favorite applicator - it’s a squishy rubbery applicator that curves to the shape of your lips. It’s so satisfying to apply. Sadly, this is my least favorite formula as it’s quite thin and slippy. But my favorite color, smell, and applicator out of the three!
Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Hydrating Peptide Lip Treatment in Lingonberry Jam:
rstyle.me/+0CXGUcG6vldaYVYmi-g9iA
Price: $22
Shades: 2
Scent: weird, artificial berry something? I can’t put my finger on it but I don’t love it
Formula: Lightweight but still cushiony and not slippery.
My experience: This is my favorite formula out of the three products because it’s the most cushiony. I don’t love the smell and I find the color to be too cool-toned purple so I honestly don’t see myself reaching for it, even though I adore the formula. I’ll probably send this to someone who wants it and reach for the clear version.
Rhode Peptide Lip Tint in Raspberry Jelly:
rstyle.me/+zrAQdshq4Qechx47NmRaiA
Price: $16
Shades: 4
Scent: none, but there’s a nice sweet taste
Formula: Lightweight, buttery, ultra glossy. A hint of a cushion quality to it, not as cushiony as Ole Henriksen and not as slippery or thin as Persona.
My experience: this shade is a little too cool-toned for me, I would’ve preferred a pinky berry or a red berry, so I’ll probably send this to someone who wants it. Interestingly, it looks very red on the website, but on me it’s straight up purple. I LOVE Toast and Ribbon from this line and I wear them constantly. Sadly my Espresso turned grainy, which was disappointing.
