Lipgloss Break - TINte Cosmetics Lip Shine

TINte Cosmetics was created from a feeling, a feeling of a simpler time, a time we all cherished, a memory of pure innocence, the essence of youth and freedom....

This brand goes hand in hand with being girly. I recently tried the flavored Lip Shine in Double Bubble and instantly had a flash back to my first Bonnie Bell lip balm in Bubble Gum. The smell and taste are identical and made me feel like a little girl again!

The lip shine isn't too sticky and goes on as a pale, sheer pink. Not sure if there's a lot of moisturizing agents in it so I made sure to put on balm first, then the lip shine, and the color lasted awhile.
