Kjaer Weis's stunning packaging is such a signature of this luxury green beauty brand and the Lip Tint is certainly no exception! The slim, petite profile of these refillable compacts is convenient for travel and makes for the perfect addition to any clutch bag. The mirror on the flip side of the lid also makes application a breeze. Lip Tints retail at $49 for 0.085 oz. (2.4 g) of product. As is the case with all Kjaer Weis products, if you don't mind forfeiting the beautiful compact, Kjaer Weis Lip Tint Refills can be purchased for the reduced price of $29 and can easily be stored in the magnetic palette of your choice.
Finish
Bliss Full is a beautiful, cool-toned rosy pink that will suit a variety of complexions. However, because the formulation of these Lip Tints is rather sheer, you may want to opt for a vibrant hue if your lips are naturally quite pigmented. This product is hard to the touch, but softens with the warmth of the fingers and melts beautifully onto the lips. The texture of this tint is balmy and incredibly creamy! Once applied, it leaves a slightly dewy finish that keeps the lips looking plump and hydrated.
Application
Before applying this tint for the first time, I found it beneficial to break through the surface of the product and smush it around a bit. Doing this seemed to make picking up the right amount of product much easier. I find that it takes a few layers of this tint to really build up the color. While the more sanitary option is to use a lip brush, I prefer tapping the product onto my lips with my finger, waiting a few seconds to let it sink in, and then adding a bit more to enhance the hue. The addition of beeswax and lemon peel oil makes these tints quite moisturizing, so there is no need to prep the lips with a balm before applying.

Wrap-Up
Unfortunately, this is the first Kjaer Weis product that has left me slightly underwhelmed. I know that it is a tint and not a lipstick, but the color is so beautiful that I wish this product were more opaque! While it layers with ease and provides an even, dewy finish, the formulation is not as unique and luxurious as the other Kjaer Weis products that I have tried. Bliss Full wears well and the color is stunning! The texture is lush and silky, and I love how convenient this compact is to pop into my pocket or a small clutch bag. However, there are so many wonderful tinted lip balms available on the green beauty market, I’m not sure that this one is worth the high price tag.
Have you tried any of the lip tints from Kjaer Weis?
