For starters, mine was missing the brush. Did all Ipsters that got this get it without the brush? Who knows. Actually, I checked online and the sample sizes did not come with a brush. To me, this feels more like a lip stain than a balm. It's highly pigmented, I'll give it that. It feels really smooth on my lips, but it's on the dry side for sure. I had to put on a moisturizing balm before putting it on. It lasts for a while and it fades nicely. I didn't notice it sticking to dry patches on my lips, so that was nice. The description claims it's smudge-proof and kiss-proof. These claims are true, but only if worn alone without any other balm underneath or on top.Otherwise, the extra balm makes it move around.
I really don't think this color is right for me, though. I got the color fiesta. I have to tone it down with a lipstick because it's so bright for my complexion. Despite the smoothness and pigmentation, I doubt I'd purchase this on my own ($30!?!?!). For a sample, I really like it even though the shade isn't 100% for me. I can't wait to see what Ipsy has in store for February!
I don't have a swatched picture to show you and I cannot find the balm at the moment, but here's the link to the site.
On another note, I'm super sorry for not blogging lately! Life has been hectic. I'll try my hardest to post. I have a list of reviews and posts I need to write up!
