So… Jennie strikes again.

I swear, every time she casually uses a product on a show, it sells out instantly—and yes, I totally fell for it with the AOU Glowy Tint Balm. I saw her using it on a Korean show, and well… we all love Jennie. I had to try it. 

And honestly? I’m glad I did. 

The Texture & Formula ✨️

Normally when I've tried tinted balms, they weren't my favorite because it just made my lip looks greasy and oily. Plus, the 'tinted' part doesn't go longer than 5 minutes. And its color is always pink ish color which looks like the one that I played with when I was like 7 yrs old.

But this? This isn’t your typical tinted balm that disappears in five minutes. It’s buttery smooth, hydrating, and leaves the prettiest wash of color. Think of it as the perfect balance between a balm and a sheer lipstick. It’s not heavy or sticky, but it gives your lips that healthy, juicy glow without being too glossy. This is truly a 'tinted' balm. 

The hydration is real, too. My lips tend to dry out easily, especially with tinted products, but this one actually feels like a lip treatment. BUT it doesn't make my lip looks way too greasy or oily which was my favorite part of this balm. I’ve been reaching for it more than my regular lip balms just because it adds that effortless color while keeping my lips soft.

The Look✨️😘

I’m all about that light, natural makeup—think fresh skin, a little blush, and lips that look like they naturally have a flush of color. This tint balm is perfect for that. It’s sheer but buildable, so you can swipe it once for a subtle tint or layer it up for a more noticeable color. So if you are outside doing whatever you are doing and your lip is cracked and all messy, all you will need is this balm. Like literally. Some people might not like it because it's not a stick so it gets easily dirty, but I personally prefer this jar type because normally stick balm messes up my lip look. It smudges out whatever was on my lip and it looks.....not clean afterwards. 

Final Thoughts✨️🤗👌

If you love the whole “my lips but better” vibe, you’ll love this. It’s fuss-free, easy to reapply, and makes you look effortlessly put together. Plus, the fact that Jennie casually used it? Yeah… that’s reason enough for me lol. If you were debating and you found this review? Take it as a sign and go for it. You won't regret it!
