Product Review*
Hey guys! It’s been a lonngggg time since I last posted. My 2nd year in uni is coming to an end and I wanted to gear back into posting. Nothing new, I’m still going through all my lip products and telling you what I discovered! And as always, not all products are made for everyone, so let’s see if this is for you!
💌 Brand: Tinte Cosmetics Vintage Slider Tin Lip Licking Lip Balm
💵 Price:
$5.50 (USD) The Swank Company/Tinte Cosmetics website
Purchased from: Swank Co for $3.30 (USD)
⭐️Overall rating: 9/10
😍pros: I absolutely am in LOVE with the packaging, it’s so cute and the vintage vibes is EVERYTHING! The formula is something I don’t think I’ve ever really seen for something marketed towards a lip balm, this formula is really smooth but not like a product with a silicone-like base, as you can see in the last picture, it has shine, so I’d say it’s like a gloss balm
🤔Cons: the product isn’t really a quick swipe and apply kind of thing, that might be a make or break but it’s not how one would expect to use it
✍️Use:
1. Open the tin, take a finger and warm up the product, take your nail and pick up product on the tip of your nail (this way allows you to just apply in one go without necessarily “ruining” the product
2. Open the tin, take a finger and warm up the product, and apply to lips (this way requires one to have to keep going back into the tin, I know I have to go in 2 times at least to cover my lips, and I have smaller lips)
2. Open tin completely, make direct contact from product to one or both lips and swipe to coat the lips (this method is chaotic to say the least, but it is quite effective and reduces the amount of time you need to go back into the tin)
📝Notes: this product has heavy fragrance and flavor, it is strong, usually I stay away from products that have strong scents but I really liked this one, some people would want to stay away from that, and that’s fair, but for me, I really like it, it’s not a bad flavor either, also, the product is mostly colorless, that might be something people look for , it wasn’t a pro or a con, its heavily dependent on preference
The Tinte Cosmetics Vintage Slider Tin Lip Licking Lip Balm features a unique vintage packaging that appeals to many users seeking nostalgia in their skincare products. Many reviewers highlight the product's surprising smoothness, comparing its texture to a gloss balm rather than a traditional lip balm, which is often silicone-based. Users have noted the necessity of applying the balm with a finger or directly from the tin due to its unique consistency and application methods. Some techniques include warming the product with fingers before applying or swiping directly from the tin. However, it is essential to consider the fragrance aspect of the product. Many users find the scent and flavor quite pronounced, which might be appealing to some while off-putting to others, particularly those sensitive to strong fragrances. Users appreciate that the balm is mostly colorless, making it versatile for different occasions without altering the natural lip color. Overall, the Tinte Cosmetics Vintage Slider offers both practicality and aesthetic charm, making it a worthy addition to any lip product collection.
