A bunch of my Amazon Prime Day orders arrived last week, and as usual I bought way too many lip products. I had at some point in the past found this “Melting Glasting Balm” product, and spent way too long picking out colors, but then decided not to buy, so I had still had it on one of my lists. While reviewing my lists, I saw that it was on a big sale in the Prime day sales.
(I probably should have mentioned that Prime Day tip, eh? — that if you put products in your lists you can quickly check to see if anything is included in the sale? I think they have them twice a year, so… now you know.)
Anyway, the color I got is a great MLBB color for me. The consistency is a bit heavier than Dior Addict, which I think this is a pretty decent dupe for (although I still think this one is a more direct dupe). I like that it feels like a substantial lip product, though. It isn’t overly matte or shiny when it goes on, nor is it overly sticky.
I like the way it wears — very comfortable. I got the color “Mauve Whip;” it’s under $20 at Amazon today; you can see other colors for the product here. Here’s a picture I made for myself comparing some swatches of new products I bought (I told you I bought too many!) — the NARS set from the Anniversary Sale, Grape Soda, the glasting melt, and then the Peripera mauve I wrote about the other day. (It seemed a bit close to the first NARS color I swatched, so I put a dab of it next to that color to directly compare.) (Of the bunch, I like them all — Grape Soda is probably my least favorite because it’s a marker tint so it can be a bit drying. I need to play with it more, though.)
