L.A. Girl Rome Red Color Balm Review

Hello friends,

I am back with a bunch of new products to review. It feels awesome to get back to reviewing stuff for IMBB 🙂 It is awesome to take a break from the corporate world and do something different. I recently purchased a ton of stuff from abroad and while that’s in transit, I have some cute lip balms to share with you all. It’s a new launch from L.A. Girl and I picked up 3 of color balms from the new range. In this post, I am going to review “Rome Red.”

My Experience with L.A. Girl Rome Red Color Balm:

This lip balm comes in a very cute packaging, the reason why I bought it in the first place. It has a red-coloured body with a transparent lid. The packaging feels kind of low quality, but to be honest, but it’s super cute!

You can see the bright red lip balm through the transparent lid as the lip balm doesn’t go all the way down. It sticks up and hence one has to be careful while opening and closing the lip balm. The rotating mechanism works well and shuts with a click. I can easily throw them in my makeup pouch!

Color/Pigmentation: “Rome Red” is a beautiful red shade which is sheer in pigmentation. It looks like a glossy sheer lipstick if you build up the lip balm. I desperately wanted some lip balms because the ones I have are about to finish or I have lost interest in them! Lip balms are something I love to have, even though I only use them when my lips feel really dry. I like the healthy sheen they provide my lips with!

Texture: The texture is very light and watery. You hardly feel that you have a lip balm on when you wear this. I picked up red, orange and pink shades because I can easily use them over my lipsticks and I generally wear these shades of lipsticks regularly. The lip balm feels very smooth on the lips and creamy too! It goes smoothly on dry lips and provides a nice amount of moisture. It doesn’t hydrate your lips, but it’s great to take away all dryness instantly.

Fragrance: “Rome Red” has a very fruity, cherry fragrance that lingers on for quite a while. I really love the occasional whiff of cherry that I get when I have this lip balm on. The fragrance is a bit strong, not much and I love it!

Staying Power: This lip balm stays on for 2 hours and it fades really quickly if you eat or drink something. The colour doesn’t fade away entirely, but you do have some colour left on the lips. It does transfer like crazy onto cutlery.
