🌟 First Impressions

I picked up the Nature Republic Honey Melting Lip in 01 Apricot because I was looking for a sheer, hydrating tint that wouldn’t dry out my lips. The name “Honey Melting” sounded promising—like it would be nourishing and glossy at the same time.

💄 Shade & Finish

• Color: A soft, warm-toned apricot that gives a natural flush of color. It’s not too orange, not too pink—just a really wearable peachy shade.

• Opacity: Sheer to medium coverage. You can build it up, but it never gets too intense.

• Finish: Glossy and slightly balmy, but not sticky! Feels more like a tinted lip balm than a traditional lipstick.

💧 Formula & Texture

• Super smooth and buttery—glides on without tugging.

• Moisturizing, but not as thick as a lip mask. More of a lightweight, everyday balm.

• Has a subtle honey scent (but no strong taste).

🕰️ Longevity

• Not transfer-proof—since it’s more of a tinted balm, it does wear off after eating or drinking.

• Fades evenly—doesn’t leave behind a weird patchy stain.

• Needs reapplication every few hours, but it’s so comfortable that I don’t mind.

✨ Final Thoughts

If you want a hydrating, effortless, glossy lip tint, this is a great choice. It’s like a step up from a tinted lip balm—nourishing but with a bit more color payoff. Not long-lasting, but super easy to reapply.

⭐ Rating: 4.5/5

✔️ Pros: Hydrating, natural color, smooth application

❌ Cons: Not super long-lasting, limited shade range

Would I repurchase? Yes, especially for everyday use!
