Fresh Lip Treatment (Sugar Stash)


Today's review is going to be about the Fresh Sugar Stash Lip Treatment. I've hadn't heard about it until awhile ago when I made a trip to Sephora and I was so mesmerised by the packaging of the lip balms. Therefore, I started reading reviews about it and finally decided to get it. For me I think what made them so highly raved is because these lip balms come with SPF 15, which are rarely seen in the typical lip balms.  


In this Sugar Stash set, it contains 3 mini tinted lip treatment with SPF 15 which are like lip balms (Cherry , Rosé , Honey) and 3 mini Shine lip treatment which are like lip gloss (Cherry Shine, Rosé Shine , Honey Shine) 












-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Here comes the lip swatches. I'll go from the lightest to the darkest.


The bare lips







1. Sugar Honey tinted lip treatment with SPF 15 & Sugar Honey Shine lip treatment 





A nude-ish looking shade





2. Sugar Rosé tinted lip treatment with SPF 15 & Sugar Rosé Shine lip treatment






A very natural-looking pinkish shade ( My favourite among the three colours)





3. Sugar Cherry tinted lip treatment with SPF 15 & Sugar Cherry Shine lip treatment 





A red-ish shade, and also the most tinted one.





Where to buy? 
Sephora 



Price?
SGD 52 



PROS:
The packaging of the lip balms are extremely gorgeous and sophisticated 
The metal casing is just perfect and the screw-on cap makes it very secure.

Very moisturising 
I don't really know how to describe but it feels like you've applied a very thicker layer of wax ( in a good way) which really help to moisturise the lips especially on very dry/cracking lips.

Comes with SPF 15
Thats definitely a plus point.

Smells really good
Double plus point. 

The Shine lip treatment are not drying at all
Usually when I apply the typical lipgloss, my lips would peel. But this Shine lip treatment doesn't do that at all. 

Love the small gift-set 
I've always love trial-sized products because it allows me to try them out in different shades without having to buy the actual size one. Besides, it would make the perfect gift with the extremely lovely packaging. 




CONS:
Not very affordable 
Unless you have trouble looking for an extremely good lip balm for your super dry lips, I feel that the Fresh lip treatment are kinda expensive to be used on a daily basis.  


Short staying power for the Shine lip treatment (Lip Gloss) 
After about 2-3 hours, my lips weren't shinny anymore. I'd have to touch them up. 

Melts easily?
I think I've read from some websites that say that the lip balm would melt easily if it was put under the sun. So when you bring them out just make sure you keep them in a pouch in your bag.



Would I repurchase? 
No, because I think there are cheaper yet good lip balms available in the market.

Burt's Bees Lipbalm

I cannot live without a lip balm.
Like seriously.

 I can't stress enough the importance of a lipbalm !
My lips would be so dry and ugly because mine dries and peels very easily especially after meal.
Then I will be like keep peeling off the skin which is super unglam but I really cannot take it.

I have tried quite a few different brands of lipbalm ,
like banana boat's , the mentholatum's .
And they always end up in my fridge ( not using them anymore )
I think it's probably because I dont like the smell of it and also the feeling on my lips.

So all the while I've been googling for good lip balm
and I happen to read MANY excellent reviews about this Burt's Bees Lip Balm.
People say it works magically and that's the ONLY thing they ever needed.
Then I was like " Oh really....."

From the packaging through internet, it seems expensive.
So I did not bother to find out it's price.
And I didn't know where I could get it.

THEN !
Quite awhile ago I went to this Sephora Warehouse sale in Singapore
and I saw them on freaking sale !
Believe me I was jumping and hoping around and shouting Oh My God all the way.
It was in a pack of 3 for $7 SGD only which even came in a nice metal container !!

Took photo of a new stick just to show you guys, because ...
My current one the paper koyak . meaning I use very often okay.
It's clear , colourless, 







I REALLY REALLY LOVED IT!
It's like the absoulte best lipbalm ever, like ever .
  
Here's the  reason why :

 1. It's minty ! which gives my lips a tingle and makes my breath stay fresh.

2. Great waxy texture , which makes my lips feels naked yet protected.

3. Excellent moisturizer for lips. My lips doesn't crack anymore everytime after applying even after meal.

4. Pleasant scent.

5. It's made from very natural products


When do I apply ?

1. Every single time before applying lipstick/lipgloss/lip tint.

2. Every night before bed.

3. As and when my lips feels dry throughout the day.


Oh , you can get it in Sephora for less than RM20 each stick.

In a nutshell,
 I find that Burt's Bees Beeswax Lipbalm is a  natural lip balm that's effective for every day use !


Would I repurchase ?
Yes, definitely.
