I love the packaging but the applicator is awkward to use. The tint itself lasts long though it can look and feel patchy. I prefer their lip oil treatment.

I’ve always loved Happy Skin tints. Quality-wise, they’re comparable to options from South Korean brands, which are the gold standard in lip tints (for me). I tried the Kiss & Bloom Glossy Tint in the shade Blossom and it looks like a cool-toned, raspberry-red on my lips. I have fair skin with a warm-yellow undertone and pale-pink lips. If you’re similar, this will look amazing on you. I try to prep my lips with balm no matter what (my lips crack easily), but this tint has such a moisturizing formula that it’s not so bad when I skip that step. As buildable as it is, though, it’s not the kind of tint that you can easily feather to achieve a soft, blurred lip look. It’s best used in full swipes, but the glossiness gives it enough dimension. Color pay-off is great — one swipe brings my face to life, two swipes give me a fuller pout with the perfect amount of shine, and three swipes look practically opaque on my lips. It has a mildly fruity fragrance that doesn’t linger or taste like bitter alcohols, which is what some lip tints give you. The texture is very juicy and moisturizing. It’s not transfer-proof, but it leaves a nice tint as it fades throughout the day. If you’re eating a greasy lunch and taking multiple water breaks, you’ll need to touch up once or twice. But if you’re just sipping coffee or snacking on finger foods, the color will stay put. The gloss *does* lose its shine after an hour or two, though — so if you love that look, I’d recommend keeping a clear lip gloss close by for retouches.
