Formula Overview
$8.00/0.06 oz. - $133.33 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a "glowy" finish that is hydrating and gives buildable color with "buildable, glowy shine." They managed to feel more velvety and glide-on rather than melty and glossy, despite the end result having a moderate about of shine and glow. As a result, the formula was more like a balmy lipstick than a glossy lip balm.
The coverage ranged from semi-sheer to semi-opaque but were generally in the more medium, buildable range, which was in line with the brand's marketing. They were fruity in scent but had no discernible taste. The shades applied evenly, felt comfortable to wear, and typically lasted three to four hours with moderate hydrating.

Since neither one would look all that nice on me, $ saved! At first, I was thinking that Warm Up Guy reminded me of MAC Shy Girl. And then I did the side by side, Shy Girl has more depth and is oddly more “colorful” than Warm Up Guy!
I love how absolutely pink Kissy Kissy is, but I’m also so weird about wearing anything lighter than my natural lip color (does it wash out my face? Make my skin look bad? Are my lips too thin?!). Maybe I’ll try it anyway.
I love the Glowing Lip formula!! Not sure I’m going to get these, maybe if they go on sale…
