My Experience with bareMinerals Pop of Passion Lip Oil-Balm – Nude Passion:

Packaging:  This lipstick comes in a standard lippy tube. I like the fact that the outer tube reflects the color family of the lip color inside which makes it easier to grab the color you want out of the pile of lipsticks you might have.

Texture, Finish and Pigmentation:  This product is like lip oil which is so popular right now in a lipstick format.
When you apply this on your lips, it has a very lightweight slick/slippery texture that melts and glides on without any tug. They feel just like a lip balm on your lips. They give quite a glossy appearance to the lips initially, but it does tone down to a sheen in about an hour of wear.

The pigmentation of these lipsticks vary according to color. The color “Nude Passion” is the least pigmented of the trio of shades that I have. This shade is a very sheer light peachy brown n*de shade. Since it is so sheer, the effect will be mostly like a clear balm on your lips. If you are looking to cover pigmentation on your lips, this will not do it. On the other hand, if you have naturally pink lips, this will look really nice as it will give you just a hint of shine on your lips and tone down the intensity of your lips yet still retaining a n*de lips look.

I do like the fact that unlike most n*de lipstick this does not drain the life out of my face. It looks very natural as if I have naturally healthy and plump lips. This is a perfect lipstick to wear on “low maintenance days” when you are just running out or running errands and I like the fact that I don’t even need a mirror to apply this particular shade on my lips.

It goes on evenly without streaking. Even with multiple coats, it does retain its sheerness and translucency on the lips.

This product is extremely hydrating on the lips, just like a lip balm. It smooths over and does not accentuate my fine lines or dry patches. My lips feel smooth and soft for a couple of hours even after this product has worn off. Hence this an ideal product for dry winter days.

Staying Power:  The staying power is not super impressive. It performs a little better than you regular tinted lip. This particular shade is very sheer hence it fades in less than 3 hours and does not leave a stain hence reapplication is necessary during the day to keep it looking fresh while adding a fresh coat of hydration on the lips.

Fragrance:  This lipstick has no taste and has a very mild makeup-like scent which fades as soon as you apply it on the lips.

Pink lips

Overall, I am really enjoying this lipstick/lip balm hybrid. I am not really a fan of this particular shade, but the other two shades I own, I really like. This lipstick range comes in a variety of flattering colors. I would really recommend this range especially if you are a low maintenance gal when it comes to make up and just need something you can use on regular days while it still nourishes and hydrates your lips.
