TONYMOLY

This came in a beauty box. I am really past the point of wanting to dip my finger into a pot of tinted lip balm to smear it on my lips and then hunt for a tissue to wipe my finger and dig it out from under my fingernail. It's an ok balm, ok tint, but quite Chapstick like in it's consistency (= lots of wax), and a bit too fragrant for me. I think this would be good for a tween or teen just starting to play with makeup, but it's expensive for their budgets. So, I'll pass.

I had a sample to test, which offered about 3-4 uses, enough for me to decide if I like the texture or not. It has a strong citrus smell that goes away once the product sinks into your skin. I liked this scent as it perks me up a bit in the morning. The product does not glide around the skin easily though and it leaves a slightly sticky finish at first, but over several minutes, it disappears. It felt more like an SPF sunblock product than a moisturizer. Because of this, I only used it during the daytime. Turns out, this product contains SPF50. It did give a radiant look, but it was more on the greasy/oily look than a natural glow. I would not purchase a full-size.

I picked this up at Ulta when they were having it for 20% off the TONYMOLY brand items, and it is a great moisturizer option that leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. There is a rose scent upon opening the container, but it dissipates once applied to the skin. Not only do I like this product, my boyfriend also stated he liked it as well. I went and picked up a backup one for when we use up the first one. Hopefully they will have the sale again in the future when we need to repurchase more!
