Today I will be sharing my thoughts on the Pacifica Sun + Lipcare mineral color lip balm. These lippies just released on Sunday at my local Target, and since I'm obsessed with lip products I had to try them for myself.
These tinted lip balms claim to have an SPF of 30, water resistantance up to 80 minutes, and are supposedly surfer approved. Although I don't personally ride the waves, I do enjoy a good product that will provide protection from the sun. They come housed in a navy blue and white tube that is slightly chunkier than your standard lip balm tube, but still small enough to toss inside your pocket or purse. You get 0.15 oz of product, and my local store had them priced at 4.99 each.
I only purchased 2 out of 3 of the shades in this line, because the 3rd option was just a clear balm.
The 2 colored shades were Peach and Nude. Peach is your perfect summer coral shade - it leans more on the pinky coral side. On my lips it's almost a MLBB (my lips but better shade), and will easily add just the right pop of color whether I'm going full glam or just want a "no makeup" makeup kind of day. Nude is your standard tan brown nude, and comes off fairly sheer in comparison to Peach when swatched. It still carries enough pigment to lightly mute out your lips however if that's the look you're trying to achieve. Both shades apply easily without a mirror, which is an added bonus for those who want something they can travel easily with this summer.
These lip balms apply smooth like butter, and they smell like the beach (a perfect blend of coconut, and sunscreen). Due to their creamy consistency the wear time is only a couple of hours, but they left my lips feeling hydrated long after the color had worn off. I also thoroughly enjoy the fact that they're made with all natural ingredients, vegan and cruelty free.
I definitely recommend grabbing one (or all 3 if you like) the next time you go out!
*This is not a sponsored post, I purchased these items myself. These are my honest thoughts and opinions.
Thank you for posting this! I bought the nude and liked it, then lost it on a camping trip, and now all I can find at target is the clear. Was trying to figure out which one I had so I could order from target but wasn't sure until your post solved the mystery! It's good stuff, right? I was so sorry to have lost it!
