"I don't love this as much as I love the highlighters but I do love the shade. I got sorbet. It's the absolute perfect blush color for my skintone. It's matte. I guess I would like more sheen to it. I use it daily with no irritation."

Simplify your beauty routine with Balmies, the multi-use lip-to-lid crayons that work for eyes, lips, and cheeks. These eco-friendly, plastic-free crayons deliver a matte finish with long-lasting color and a drier texture, perfect for oily skin or those who use face oils. Crafted with ethically-sourced ingredients, Balmies offer the same amount of product as a regular lipstick, but with a tubeless application for a reduced environmental impact. Clean, vegan & cruelty-free. Made with sustainable, naturally-derived ingredients, Balmies are the perfect choice for effortless beauty with a conscience.

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

"It has been a couple years since I had a Lip-to-Lid Balmie. I think that I didn't go back because I remembered that it was hard to work with once it got tiny, but I know that I loved the shade Cherry. I recently started melting down products and panning them when they get low, so problem solved on that end. It's a great product. I tend to use it on my lips, cheeks, and my eyes. I love the many options for colors. I can't wait to get more!"
— Sarah R. (4/5)
"Super cute idea but doesnt execute perfect. Does crease a good bit on the eyes so best suited for lip"
— michelle w. (4/5)
"The product itself is nice, but the packaging is terrible. I'm not sure how you're actually supposed to use it but it breaks, gets all over my hands, the paper doesn't stay on. . . there had to be a better way of packaging without waste."
— Corrie (3/5)
"this color is so pretty and casual. great for everyday! nice texture too."
— Holly R. (5/5)
"I like Rosé for my cheek color and Cinnamon on my eyelids, lips, and where I would put a bronzer. Because they're a crayon, I find they're more dry than creamy. So, I prefer warming them up on my fingertips and then applying, as opposed to applying straight on my face. They definitely do get messy, but I've found I'm willing to deal with it for the versatility of the product and that it's plastic free :)"
— Bri (4/5)
"This lid to lip balm provided a lot of color but could be a little more moisturizing to help with applying it. Tho it made my lips pop, it was a little too dry for me. Was not impressed."
— Michele V. (4/5)
"I’ve really come around to these balmies. They are not as moisturizing as other products I’ve tried (ilia lip to cheek is my fave) but they are so convenient. I have a few now that I toss in my work bag when I bike in, and they’re light and quick and easy to apply with plenty of lasting pigment"
— Katie H. (4/5)
"I'm so happy I tried this Axiology lippie: the color is beautiful, the application is so simple, and it's eco-friendly yet attractive packaging. It's wonderful to carry around too since it's compact and takes up nothing. There's so much too love about this lippie. It's dangerous because I know I'll be buying more in the future."
— Fatima T. (5/5)
"these got great reviews so i bought two but returned them both because they were cracked and dried out and wouldn't even apply on my lips :/"
