This product is one of my favorite lip products I’ve ever bought!!! The sizing of this product is PERFECT!!!

Lipstick for Ants

The color and product are nice, I wouldn’t say it’s a must have, in fact you probably already own ten similar lip balms. I can’t get over how comically small it is for the price. I’ve gotten samples that are bigger.

Where’s the rest of it?

Nice formula, pretty colors… but where’s the rest of it? I was fine with the thin width, but was shocked to see how little product is actually in these (hardly an inch). There are definitely comparable products out there for a much better value.

Shame!

So ashamed I bought this tiny tube of minuscule lipstick. Not only is the tube so small, what’s inside is even LESS!! The cap weighs more than the tube.

Ok these should be renamed “Lip Twiggy” because they are that small! I bought 3 of these and I feel stupid now. $26 a pop! For this? There’s not much color payoff unless you use half the tube. These are so bad I’m disappointed in myself.

So lovely, but...

I love the product and I reallh have no complaints about the packaging, the formula, the shades-- it's all so, so lovely. But with the teeny circumference of the bullet (which I love for application), I was pretty amazed to find that when I wound up the bullet, there was only the tiniest amount of product in the bullet (see pic, only swiped the product maybe 2x when I took the pic). I'll probably use this up in ~1.5 months. There's maybe an inch to the bullet brand new. If they add just a...

New favorite lippie

It’s so good!!! You only need a dab. Color is love bites. I love the consistency. It feels like you’re putting on Chapstick but it gives you so much color. Reminds me a lot of Clinique black honey. Paired it with Rhode twist.Just wish there was more

Ridiculously amount of product

Check the weight!! Even if you’re okay with a small amount of product, when you do the math, this ends up being 2x the price of a Dior lip balm!!!! That’s crazy!!!! The product itself is just okay anyways!!

Do better please

It is really off putting that this brand is trying to glamorize smoking. So disappointing and disgusting.

$3.11 per gram?? WHY?

Ughhh......I really like this product. But dear lord.....price per gram is more expensive than a Tom Ford or Chanel lipstick! I feel m.ph has priced herself out of the market here. I think the formula is really good, but she should really repackage and reprice to at least match other comparable products, and I think she'd gain a lot more buyers. (including me!)

I love the packaging because it is easy to slip into your purse. I also enjoy this color and the formula.

Simple Workwear For Winter

I like simple, natural make up. I wanted something SLIGHTLY dramatic yet hardly noticeable. This was it. I am a neutral olive medium skin tone woman so this color delivered that moody berry that looks casual on me. As someone said, it doesn’t feel hydrating… but it does help your lips retain moisture. I will keep this, I will pair it up with Huda lip liner and get more colors of this line. Cruelty free was a huge plus.
