Love the pigmentation and how smooth it feels. It’s a bit small for price. But love the quality.

Drying & Flaky
It’s not a hydrating balm and when you apply too much, the product begins to flake. And when you apply products over it, there’s more flaking and it dull the other product and it makes it matte as well … even when a high shine lipgloss is applied on top of it. Pass.

Hello Cja1988! It is disappointing to hear that the Smushy Soft Matte Tinted Lip Balm did not provide the hydrating experience you were looking for and that you encountered issues with flaking and layering. This formula is unique because it is designed to deliver a blurred, soft-matte finish with a weightless feel, which differs significantly from the heavy moisture of a traditional glossy balm. To prevent flaking and ensure a smooth application, we recommend applying the product to completely dry lips that have been gently exfoliated. Because this formula is highly pigmented and designed to set to a matte finish, applying it in very thin layers—blending with a fingertip—will help it bond to the skin without building up too much texture. If you wish to add shine, we suggest allowing the balm to dry completely for a minute before tapping a gloss over the top, rather than rubbing it in, to maintain the integrity of both formulas. We appreciate this feedback as it helps us better understand how our community interacts with our more specialized textures.

Has no color
This color barely shows on me. I like a little tint at least. I prefer a little darker shade.

So soft and blurred. Don’t know what I was expecting but I really like it. Isn’t patchy like some matte.

Used??
Why is Target shipping out product that has already been dispensed?? It's like they pulled it from the floor of one of their stores and someone had already tested it because the product had been squeesed and was on the tip of the applicator + inside of the cap. There was no tamper seal either which is likely on the manufacturer and not the store.

Cute and comfortable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a perfect everyday lip balm with consistent color! It provides comfortable wear that doesn’t settle into the lines and creases on the lips. A wide range of colors are available for any time of day or special occasion. The tube is cute and compact and the contents inside do deliver with color pay off with a matte appearance while still providing hydration. Definitely will purchase more colors!

not too bad!
initially feels so great and soft. but drying as some people mentioned. I do not think it is buildable. it actually gets cakey very easily. I do like the soft blur look. But purchased one day ago and already have used quite a bit to maintain the look. Cost effective though. I prefer it with a liner! for color reference I added natural lip, just balm, and then nyx flirty flip liner. balm color is snuggly szn.

Held me down all summer!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the perfect every day lip balm! The pigmentation is consistent and allows for the product to be worn on its own or complimentary with other products. I love pairing it with the NYX lip oil and liners!

This is an awesome soft matte balm! Paired with a dark brown lip liner, this provides a soft nude lip look. I’ll be purchasing additional colors. The flavor/scent is also exactly as described.

Better than I imagined!
I saw this product on Tiktok and I knew I needed it! People complained to me that there isnt alot of product and that it’s not as hydrating. As someone with the most dry, chapped lips no matter how much water or chapstick I put on. Only summer fridays had any effects on my lips. As much as I loved the idea of this product, only issue is how pricey it is. I wouldnt have gotten it if it wasn’t for it being 40% off. When I recieved my package, I put it on my lips with no products beforehand. So ignore my chapped sides. I only put a q tip worth of product and I loved how gentle it looks on me. It wasnt too vibrant and was definitely buildable. It became this neutral brownish red just like the pics! I an grateful to have a lip product that isn’t too pigmented off the bat and only needs a little bit. But this is definitely smth that can be built to be more bright. Another thing I LOVED is the scent. It smells like a pleasant blueberry airhead candy! It was delicious smelling. At first, the applicator wasnt able to blend the balm onto my lips but a gentle motion was enough to get it to apply smoothly. It erased almost all wrinkles on my lips, and left my lips extremely soft. However, after 30 mins, my lips is back to normal. But the pigment is still there :) this is perfect for those who loves buildable lippies!

Worth the price!
Very good color, long lasting, doesn’t fade or dry out, and has a nice sheen and applicator.

Idiot-proof. Gorgeous color. Apply without a mirror, even with my lips. My favorite lipstick ever.

Love it and use it a lot... but drying
I really like this product and wear it most days, but I can't give it 5 stars because it is pretty drying over time. Putting on aquaphor first and then applying this does help, though it dilutes the color. I think it's the rice powder

No safety seal!
I didn't realize until I got home from the store that there isn't a safety seal. I thought that I may have bought one that someone opened until I went to the reviews and others have mentioned this. The one that I bought was visibly already tested out in the store. I will now have to return and won't buy again for obvious reasons.
