BIRCHBOX BREAKDOWN

Between running things at the office, running errands, and trying to hit the gym (to run some more), we usually find ourselves running low on time. Enter: this high-tech, moisturizing lip balm from Birchbox brand ARROW. Formulated to adjust to your unique pH, it enhances each wearer’s natural lip color to create the perfect, just-for-you hue. Nourishing ingredients like mango seed butter hydrate and protect lips, and the lightweight, subtle formulation allows it to go wherever you do—from pre-work yoga to a lunch date to happy hour. Another perk? It boasts a lovely minty scent. Like all products in the ARROW collection, it is vegan, paraben-free, cruelty-free, and gluten-free.

HOW TO USE

Throw in purse, workbag, or gym bag, and swipe on throughout the day. Layer for more intense color.

THOUGHTS

March 15th, 2016: This lip balm is very moisturizing and has a nice sheen to it. It also gives your lips a hint of color as it's formulated to adjust to your unique pH to enhance your natural lip color. The only "con" is that I wish it smelt nice and had a nice taste like the EOS balms...not that it smells bad or tastes bad.

The description says that it has a nice minty scent, but I couldn't smell it...perhaps because my nose is stuffed up a bit? But I can still smell my EOS balms so....I don't know. To me it seems like it's unscented. No smell is always better than a bad smell, but I'm used to all my lip balms smelling sweet or fruity and it'd be nice. Also, it doesn't necessarily have a bad taste either, but again it would be nice if it had a nice taste like my EOS balms.

Other than those two things I love it. However, if you're a matte lip lover than you might want to stick to your EOS balms but me, I personally love the nice sheen that it gives.
