I absolutely loved the texture—it feels buttery smooth and instantly hydrating without being too glossy or heavy. It gives my lips a soft tint that looks natural and fresh, perfect for everyday wear or a polished no-makeup look. The packaging is stunning and luxe (classic TOM FORD!), and I really appreciate how portable the mini size is—it fits perfectly in a small bag or even a pocket. The formula wears beautifully and keeps my lips feeling moisturized for hours. It’s definitely a little treat that makes me feel put-together.
Honestly, the only downside for me is the price, especially for the mini size—it’s definitely a luxury item. Also, if you’re looking for bold color payoff, this balm is more sheer and subtle. I wouldn’t expect long wear from it either since it’s more of a nourishing balm than a lipstick. But if you’re into that lightweight, glowy lip look, it’s a beautiful indulgence.
