Julep Your Lip Addiction Tinted Lip Oil Treatment

Today, I bring to you the Julep your lip addiction tinted lip oil treatment in the shade Covet. I received this in the May 2016 Julep box. I was NOT sent this. I paid for it in a sense. I used my points to get the box basically free. Which is basically the only reason why I've stayed with them. Anyway...back to the product.

Covet is a sheer pretty pinky-red shade. It has a slight fruity candy smell but not over powering to say the least. After applied the smell does go away. Just in case some of you think its going to taste like anything. It tastes just like oil.

The applicator is kind of funny to describe but you can see from the photo it's like a two sided doe foot applicator.

BEFORE

AFTER

As you can see my lips are pretty pigmented on their own. The first time I put this on I seriously thought it wasn't going to show up but it did. I feel like it kind of actually stains my lips even though they don't make this claim.

I think the real question everyone has is "if it's an oil will it rub off" and the answer is yes and no. After applying the product I have to let it kind of dry down which is only about 10 - 15 mins. I've noticed that if I let it dry before doing anything the oil will rub off making my lips less shiny through out the day but the pigment doesn't rub off with the oil.

I noticed that while I was drinking tea I could clearly see oil marks left by my lips on the mug. But there was no actual color transfer. I was drinking out of a white mug so from what I could tell maybe in the very slightest transfer but not much to the point that there was obvious color left behind.

I also noticed that after I used the lip oil my lips felt dryer than they were before I used it. It made my lips soft but the dry, cracked parts felt even dryer like how they would right before my lips start cracking and peeling in the winter. It's a very hard thing to describe.

Overall, it isn't bad but it isn't amazing to the point where I feel you have to run out and buy it.
