    Picked up these 3 lip tints, all from rom&nd recently, given I wanted to start experimenting with some color. My teeth are a little yellowish, so I tend to go for cooler-toned or blue-backed lip colors to help it out. All photos were taken in natural sunlight and apologies for the terrible application – still learning here!

    All the lip tints here have phenomenal lasting power I’ve found, even with my constant snacking and sipping on water and coffee. The glasting water tint is definitely much more glossy but the other two (juicy lasting tint) definitely still have a sheen to it and aren’t matte at all.

    For reference:

    * Top left-hand side: bare lips
    * Bottom left-hand side: lips + DHC lip balm (my go-to lip balm)
    * Top right-hand side: #2 red drop (glasting water tint)
    * I picked this up knowing it would be a very strong, aggressive red. And true to that, it’s a special-occasion kind of lip color for me, which is fine. It’s very shiny and glossy if that’s what you’re looking for and it does smell a little more cherry/fruity if you’re ok with that.
    * Middle right-hand side: #6 fig fig (juicy lasting tint)
    * This is a more cool-toned and muted red/purple combo which I like. However, I do find myself reaching for the bare fig a little more just given the strong purple undertone. This one is a definitely way more subtle than #2 red drop but still adds a splash of color.
    * Bottom right-hand side: #28 bare fig (juicy lasting tint)
    * This is for sure my go-to lip tint now and I find myself reaching for this the most. I love the texture and it’s a very subtle “my lips but better” color. It make my face look a bit more put-together even if no or minimal make-up.
