Origins Drink Up Hydrating Lip Balm in Plum Punch [Review]
I wish this lipgloss works by allowing me to drink them to keep my lips hydrated instead of layering them on my lips. Another clear gloss you might say? I agree, it is just another clear, shiny lipgloss but with a staying power of wonder-woman.
The colour may look a little intense in the tube but it is really almost clear after spreading them. I really don't need a lot to fill my lips with this because it is so thick and easily hydrates my lips but I'm not exactly sure if I am willing to pay full price for this as it is on the pricey side. Tube lip products are also a little bit more hassle because it needs your attention to squeeze just the right amount out without wasting any products. I hate leaving over-flowed products on the cap, dirty, ugly and unhygienic. Especially when I am driving, I would grab a stick balm than a tube gloss for a quick hydration to my parched lips. However, I do find myself applying them as the last step of my skincare routine before I sleep, I love how they still keep my lips hydrated after a whole night of dry,air-conditioning.
If you already have pretty looking lips with no severe damages, this is a luxury. If you have lips cracking concerns or just really worried about your parched lips, then I do highly recommend them as they really do keep them soft and hydrated for the longest time. I believe for those who is going through a phase where some medications are just drying out your skin like a mad cow, this will be a life saver!
Purple is not your thing, fear not as it also comes in Nude Nectarine (pastel nude peach) and Pink Guava (pastel pink) colour. Those would probably be more acceptable to many of you because they look extremely pretty in the tube.

Straight up, if you hate thick, sticky lip products, this is no where near for you. Even from the tube itself, you can already foresee it to be jelly like texture with a sticky consistency. It leaves a very clear, glossy, 3D look on your lips and it stays on your lips even after eating. Of course, don't go purposely licking them. It has a very vague mint smell and does feels a bit cooling upon application.
