Thoughts:
These are definitely what the company says they are, a tinted lip balm. Nothing really struck out apart from the shades & the pigmentations on them.
Lasting power is definitely NOT over 8 hours. That's just a bunch of nonsense right there.
However, it does leave your lips feeling softer.
Warning: Do exfoliate your lips, these can get trapped in the cracked parts of your lips otherwise.
*notes*
I brought these products from OZSALE & DRUGSTORE.COM which is why the prices varies as both were AUS & US. I believed the full price for Australian retail price is around $20 but I haven't had any luck locating it online within Australia.
