Hey guys, and welcome back to another lip
balm review; well, in this case,
it's a lip oil actually, and it's the
first time I've actually had one of the
lip products from Aquafina.
I know, pathetic. All the years I've been
collecting lip balms, I've never actually
found those, so my friend Karen actually
found this for me;
in one of the little care packages she
sent me of lip balms.
I know they make stick ones too, but like
I said, this is the first one I've ever owned
from Aquafina.
So, I'm not sure what this cost; I
suppose she could jump in the comments
and say what it cost. Just in
trying to look online to see
approximately what these are valued at,
it looks like on average, at least online,
they sell for between
six to seven bucks for one tube of this.
I don't know about in stores, it could be
less than that.
I've found many times that I think a
price of something is one thing from the
online price, and then find out in stores
it's way cheaper, so
totally possible that it's actually
cheaper than that, but
going by the online pricing, it looks
like
the average is like $6.99 to $7.99,
a couple of $5.99s in there, but it's
almost all six to seven bucks.
So this is our packaging, like I said
it's a lip oil, not a lip balm, so that is
our format.
Let's see, what kind of applicator we
have?
Okay, so it's just one of the slanted
plastic ones,
that's alright. Do we have the little--
good, we have the little stopper in the
cap. I always look for that now ever
since one of you guys pointed that out
to me
that that stops it from going to the
tube, because remember I used to have
that hang up about that, I'm so glad you
guys pointed that out to me,
I feel really dumb for never noticing
that firsthand.
But anywho, so like I said, it is just a
little tube.
Our ingredients list...
Oh this is by GBG Beauty by the way, in
case anybody is curious, which
on one hand, makes me skeptical because I
know like how
a lot of the GBG Beauty things are, but
then again on the other hand,
I know how well people speak of the
Aquafina lip products, so I'm like, hmm...
is this like the one thing they're good
at? I don't know, maybe they've stepped up
their game.
Anywho, the lip oil ingredients are
ethylhexyl palmitate,
squalane, which is actually really good
for your skin. I've been
watching tons of videos on skin care
lately, so
that actually is very impressive to me
that that's that high up on there.
Ceresin, beeswax, jojoba seed oil,
shea butter, sweet almond oil, tocopherol,
phenoxyethanol, and fragrance. So
that's actually a lot more natural than
I was expecting.
I don't think that I could say that
technically qualifies as organic,
but it's a lot more natural than most, so
I'll give it that.
So I'm gonna say it's a hybrid.
This is not limited edition to the best
of
my knowledge. It has got
0.17 fluid ounces in it, so that's pretty
decent.
I don't have one of the Chapstick lip
oils over here to check
how that stacks up next to those, but, or
do I?
No I don't, damn, never mind. I thought I
totally did and I was like no
no, I just made myself look dumb, never
mind, so...
But yeah, hydrating lip oil in berry
coco,
and it has calming natural botanical
oils.
I probably should have read that first,
but
we never do things in order over here. So
it's not part of a set or anything, but
they do make
other flavors of the lip oil, I know
there's at least
two or three others, I'm not sure in
total how many there are.
Let's see, it doesn't look like
there's a shelf life listed or anything.
Closest I've got is the
copyright 2018 Pepsi Cola
Inc. So
I don't know. I'm just gonna go by the
general rule of thumb, if it's a liquid,
12 months after opening, and I just opened
it so the clock starts ticking now.
As if I actually obeyed that, but anyways... So sturdiness-wise, seems
like thick enough plastic to where I'm
not worried about it easily puncturing
or anything.
The little crimp at the top isn't
unfolding on itself
like the EOS hand lotion thing, oh my god,
like
pet peeve city on that. So now I like
keep touching the
crimp on anything that's got one to make
sure nothing else is doing it.
So far, that's the only brand I've seen
that do it on, just as an aside.
Anywho, so no special features that I
know of.
I'll swatch a little on the back of my
hand to see if it has a color if it.
Looks like there's--
oh, no, it's just clear, never mind, I won't
swatch it on the back of my hand because
i just saw it bubble up in here, it's
just clear.
Never mind.
I can't really get the scent off of that
though.
I'll just put it on and hope for the
best. It looks very watery, surprisingly.
A tiny little drop goes a long way with
this, by the way.
I'm like trying to clean up the edges
here. Okay.
That feels amazingly good on, wow.
Cap's a little fiddly to get lined up so
it'll actually screw back on, but I got
it.
It's a little bit thinner than a lot of
lip oils I've tried,
as if I've tried a ton of them; I totally
haven't, but
I've tried some, but because it's thinner
it also feels like
it warms up to body temperature really
quickly, which is kind of nice
actually. Especially after just having
that Buxom lip plumper thing on that
makes my lips ice cold, I'm like oh,
that's kind of nice by comparison. I
washed that off to put this on,
but that's very nice, and it's not the
slightest bit sticky or tacky, which I also love,
because I know some lip oils are and I'm
like oh, really?
But you do slightly smell it when
it's on your lips.
I feel like I actually......
I would honestly say it's closer to
floral than berry,
but I'm good with either one, so I'm
definitely not complaining here.
Uh, is there a flavor?
Barely. Barely. Okay. But that would be
closer to berry is in the little
aftertaste there, okay.
Well that's alright. I don't feel
any chapped spots through it, so that is
fantastic. It is very shiny, but it's a
lip oil, it's supposed to be,
but with that in mind, um probably not
too guy-friendly, unless you're cool with
that, which I totally don't judge if you
are, just I know most guys
tend to stay away from the shinier ones
so I just throw it out there, but
I also throw it out there that I know
some guys don't care.
So anywho, let's see,
moisturization-wise, lip oils do an
amazingly good job,
and even in the reviews I was reading on
this stuff, this one is like a really
really good
budget one, so, that. You know, that
actually
speaks volumes for it too. This is my
first time putting it on, so I can't
speak with authority on how well it
works yet,
but I can speak with authority on how
well it already feels
just since putting it on. Like I feel
like
my lips feel fuller and plumper just since
putting that on, and this one isn't even
the lip plumper,
go figure, go figure.
Anywho, hold on a minute. Sorry about that.
but anyway,
trying to think, texturally,
thickness-wise, thickness is definitely a
thin one.
Texturally it's very very slick and
smooth,
which I again, I really like. I feel like
I like the texture of this one better
than the Chapstick lip oils, and I really
liked those,
so the fact that I like this even more
says a lot,
and I know those work pretty well for me,
so I have a good feeling about this one.
I'm going to go ahead and do the
drink test here, that may be its like
only weak point.
Ignore my stomach making all the
growling noises in the world.
No, it stayed put, okay! Wow.
You know what we're rating this? Because
I already know and I'm rating this, I
don't even have to do math, because this
is getting a 10! Which I have not given
out very many 10's this year,
so that really makes me happy that I can
give out another one.
I really didn't know what to expect
going into this, especially because of
the brand behind this one,
I really wasn't sure, but pleasantly
surprised; now I see why you guys
lose your shit for the Aquafina lip
products, because this is really nice,
just saying. So highly recommend it,
perfect 10.
Don't know what else to say here, so I'm
just gonna go ahead and wrap this up.
