Greetings from the Dark Side :)
Today I have another indie product to share with you. This is the Brija Cosmetics Lip Tint in the shade 'Rachel'. I don't own many indie lip products so it is extra important for me to share them all the ones I do have!
Product:
|
'Rachel' Lip Tint
|
Brand:
|
Brija Cosmetics
|
Price:
|
$6.50 exclusively at Brija Cosmetics
|
Packaging:
|
The Lip Tint comes in a traditional lip balm tube.
|
Color:
|
Brija Cosmetics
describes this shade as "a bright peachy orange without any synthetic
dyes". 'Rachel' definitely has a peachy-orange tone to it, but I don't
think it is very bright. To me, it is more of a subdued nude orange.
|
Texture/Finish:
|
This has a semi-creamy texture, but it is not too creamy. It is not oily or glossy so it holds up very well on the lips. This has a slightly frosty finish (golden frost overlaying the base color).
|
Pigmentation:
|
For something labeled as a "lip tint" this actually has a really amazing pigmentation. I would say it has the pigmentation of a lip butter or lipstick.
|
Application:
|
Overall, the application was pretty good. It applies easily without being too creamy and mushy.
|
Wear (comfort):
|
This isn't a lip balm so it is not hydrating. If you do not wear a balm underneath and you just have very dry lips like me, it will be a bit too dry to wear on its own. But if your lips are hydrated, then this will wear super comfortably on the lips.
|
Wear (time):
|
Usual wear is about 3-5 hours. It stays on the lips for a very long time but because it is not a very bright color you might have to touch up occasionally.

I really like that this indie lip product comes in an easy-to-use lip balm tube. A lot of indie companies have lip products in jars but I really appreciate having this in a tube. And even though it is in a tube, the lip tint is very creamy and very nicely pigmented. It wears very well and it does not chap my lips. I wouldn't say it is hydrating, but it also doesn't dry them out. This is also a vegan product that does not contain any synthetic dyes so I know people who shop specifically for products like this will be very pleased. And the price is very reasonable, $6.50 for a tube.
The Bad:
This isn't necessarily bad per se, rather more of a personal dislike. Colors like 'Rachel', nude oranges, don't look very good on my skin tone. It is a pretty color but I think it looks a bit odd on me. I love orange tones, but I tend to go for very bright oranges and this isn't very bright to me.

I actually really like this color on you! Looks like a great product! Thanks for the review :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think it is just a personal preference, not that it doesn't look good but I'm just not comfortable with the color.
DeleteI was going to say the same , the shade is a pass, I opened the post thinking you was going to pick a kind of dark berry tint or maybe a red.
ReplyDeleteMy pic would be a berry red or berry plum or just brown shade, but cant pic a nude shade it wont work on me
Well I did not choose the shade since the product was sent to me. But if I had the choice, I think I might have chosen something red :D
DeleteI know it was sent to you , but used to your taste the red would have been perfect.
Deletelooks pretty on you :)
