Kiko Coloured Balm
Kiko's 02 Vanilla Falls Flat on Every Count
summarizeEditor's Summary
I picked up Kiko's 02 Vanilla lip balm thinking it'd be the perfect solution for my dry, cracked lips during the summer heat. Unfortunately, this balm's performance was a total letdown. The texture felt nice, but the scent and the peachy color weren't exactly what I was looking for. The packaging, however, is top-notch – the sturdy plastic case looks almost like metal due to its slightly mirrored finish. Despite its nice appearance, this balm just didn't deliver on its promises. It's not that it's a bad product, it's just not what I needed. I'm still looking for a lip balm that provides long-lasting hydration and doesn't accentuate lip imperfections.

live_helpFeatured FAQ
Does this lip balm provide long-lasting hydration?
Unfortunately, no. I found that it disappears from my lips within a few hours, which made it hard to rely on for everyday use.
What's the color like?
The color is a peachy shade that's a bit too dark for my taste. It's not translucent or white, but rather a solid color that might not suit everyone's preferences.
Is the packaging any good?
Yeah, the packaging is really sturdy and looks high-end. The slightly mirrored finish gives it a metallic appearance that's quite nice.
Is this lip balm suitable for everyday use?
No, I wouldn't recommend it for everyday use, especially in dry weather. It's not moisturizing enough to keep my lips hydrated for an extended period.
What's the texture like?
The texture feels nice on my lips, but it's not particularly moisturizing. It's more of a light, non-greasy feel that's easy to apply.
Is this lip balm worth the price?
It's not too expensive, considering the quality. However, I wouldn't say it's worth the price considering its performance.
Does this lip balm accentuate lip imperfections?
Yes, unfortunately. The balm accentuates any lip imperfections, like fine lines and dry patches, which made it hard for me to use.
Can I use this lip balm in dry weather?
No, I wouldn't recommend it. The balm disappears from my lips way too quickly, and it's not moisturizing enough to keep my lips hydrated in dry weather.
What's the scent like?
The scent is pleasant, but not overpowering. It's a nice, subtle fragrance that's easy to tolerate.
