Hope everyone had a Happy Christmas! Sorry it's been so long, life has been hectic recently what with the holidays and family issues. I finally got a few new products yesterday, since I didn't get any for Christmas. Bummer! I did get a ton of candles though, which makes me happy. Anyways, on to the review.

So, I'm trying to expand my lip colour spectrum. What better way to start with a color called 'Daring'? Well, almost anything, actually.

The Lipslicks seem to act more as a balm than a color. The pigmentation is very low, and it takes swipe after swipe after swipe to get it to show up on my lips. Where as it appears as a dark raspberry on the package and the balm itself, it turns up as a sheer shine with none of the promised pigment. After about ten swipes, the color started to show, but it also felt very heavy.

It is moisturizing, I'll give it that. And it's quite glossy. My only real complaint, besides the color, is the very floral taste and scent. If you so much as get any of it in your mouth, everything seems to taste like it. It only lasts 2-4 hours on me, but I don't mind too much.

Would I repurchase it? ;; No

One Natural Shea Butter Lip Balm in Berry Delicious

Remember those One products I was raving about? The scrumptious smelling sugar scrub and humongous face mask freebie? Guess what. I got another freebie. That's right, my free lip balm (with proof of purchase and online survey ) came in! You can only imagine how excited I was when I got the mail before work today and saw this along with my Aveeno shampoo samples come in.

It came in another one of their recyclable tins, this time a tiny one. The packaging is so cute. I seriously adore it. And the smell? Oh goodness it's seriously delicious. It smells like strawberries and makes my mouth water.

As for the product itself, it's a tin lip balm, something I'm not the biggest fan of. I don't exactly like having to dip my finger in and apply it that way, since the balms are either too soft and go everywhere or too hard and don't melt at all. Luckily, this one melts, it just takes a little bit to get the right amount of product out. It also tends to go on a bit watery, not unlike another popular brand lip balm I use, but it's still a bit of a let down in application.

It also doesn't seem to last long on my lips. Perhaps because of the season changes and my lips becoming super dried out, but it's still a bit of a disappointment. Not that I can complain, I would gladly open the tin up just to smell it. I'm seriously addicted to the scent of their products! Plus, it leaves my lips nice and glossy.

All in all, a good little lip balm, and for the pretty price tag, I'm willing to swing a couple bucks One's way to purchase it.
