Is this a dupe for the new Tom Ford Lip Blush with 24K Gold???

Welcome back and Happy New Year! Sorry I’ve been MIA. I’ve been living my best life and enjoying the married life. But I’m back now! I promise I will do my best to be more consistent.

Now that the pleasantries are out of the way. Let’s get down to what you came here for…

Today, we are reviewing the Winky Lux Glimmer Balm – Rose´. According to Winky Lux, this is “the ultimate diva of lip balms, Glimmer Balm applies clear then reacts with skin's pH levels to create your perfect shade of sparkling pink.”

I will say this is very diva like seeing that the cost is $16. Yes! You read that right. This lip balm is $16. I think it’s the most expensive lip balm I’ve every purchased. That’s almost in the price range for a lipstick. So, does it actually work???

To my surprise, my lips did indeed change colors when I wore this product. The Glimmer Balm lasts about 7+ hours. When I say it lasted, what I mean is that the color was still there. However, if we’re talking about the “balm” aspect, I would say it last the average amount time on my lips as a chapstick or gloss. In that regards, I would expect longer for a lip balm that cost the same amount as a meal. But nonetheless, I like it. I think it’s best paired for no makeup or my no makeup-makeup days. See the picture below with the before and after.

Before/After

I would also say that it’s a dupe, at least in concept, for the new Tom Ford Lip Blush with 24K Gold. I recently saw this on Trendmood’s IG stories and timeline. The new Tom Ford lippie comes out in April 2019. However, the event where it was showcased was about a week ago. The Tom Ford product turns pink based on your body temperature. It also has gold flakes just like the Winky Lux version. The only difference I expect is the texture and length it lasts. But just my speculation. 

 

Winky Lux vs. Tom Ford

So, is the Winky Lux Glimmer Balm – Rose´ J. Michelle approved. YES!!! I’m not saying it’s a product that you need to run out and buy immediately. However, if it is something you are considering purchasing, I would say go for it! If nothing else, when you pull it out of your purse during brunch, your girlfriends would be totally trying to take it. 

Until next time!
