nostalgia isn't what it used to be: tinte cosmetics review

To be honest, I'm not big into makeup or beauty products. One thing I do like, however, is good packaging. I'm sure it goes without saying, but I am obsessed with vintage fonts, graphics and containers. So when Tinte Cosmetics sent me a bunch of their lip products, I was excited to give them a try. Inspired by the 1970's and 80's, Tinte is a line of cosmetics that is reminiscent of simpler times, both in their packaging and the actual product. Below I am describing a bit about each of the products I tested, if you are interested in trying them out for yourself!

Rollerball Lip Potion: The Rollerball Lip Potion is a tube of clear gloss. I personally wasn't a fan of the bubble gum flavor, but I always like having a clear gloss around, either to wear alone, or to layer over a lipstick, if I'm feeling a glossy look instead of matte. 

Kissing Sticks: The Kissing Sticks are your standard chapsticks. I usually opt for a mint flavored chapstick, but the sweet flavors were a nice change of pace, and they still did a good job of keeping my lips moisturized. My favorite flavor was the Strawberry.

Lip Licking Lip Balm: Similar to the Kissing Sticks, but these balms come in a metal tin rather than a plastic tube. My favorite flavor was the Wild Cherry.

Lip Color: This was definitely my favorite product! It was super moisturizing, had a minty flavor, and gave my lips just a slight bit of color, which is perfect for days when I don't want to commit to wearing lipstick.
