Get Your Lips Red-y for the Mistletoe With Kissable Cola-Flavored Lush Santa Baby Lip Tint

December 13th, 2013 by Karen 15 Comments

Lush Santa Baby Lip Tint
The new Lush Santa Baby Lip Tint

Like a cola-flavored Icee, this new red Lip Tint by Lush is super chill…

Chill, as in relaxed. It’s not cold or anything, although I think it does taste and smell kinda like a cold Coca-Cola Icee, probably on account of the cola flavoring derived from cherry and date extracts.

Hurry down the chimney tonight…

I think of Santa Baby less as a lip tint and more as a sheer matte lipstick in pot packaging. Like a matte lipstick, the finish is flat, and there’s a good amount of pigment in it, ensuring that you can actually (hopefully) see the red color on your lips. I can, and I can still also see my natural lip color peeking through.

It’s all very casually cool…like a sweet pair of distressed jeans or a broken-in leather jacket.

I apply it with my fingers and skip the lip liner, and then have to reapply about every 3-4 hours after that.

In an emergency (uh…a makeup emergency?), it’ll even double as a cream blush.

And the lightweight, non-sticky formula feels like next-to-nothing on my lips, which I like.

Even though Lush loaded Santa Baby with moisturizing ingredients like cocoa butter, fair trade Shea butter and carrot oil, I still feel like it could benefit from a little more moisture… My lips are hella dry, though, and I’m always fighting the good fight against flakes. 🙂

If you don’t have to deal with that drama, then 1) lucky you! — and 2) you probably won’t feel like you need to layer a moisturizing balm underneath this, which is what I’ve ended up doing.

Red isn’t a color that immediately comes to mind when I think of natural lip looks, but here it looks surprisingly natural — like the color of lips after a hot kissing session.

Wear it with a glossy mascara, a hint of tinted moisturizer, and you’re ready for the mistletoe. 🙂

PRICE: $8.95 for a 0.2-ounce pot
AVAILABILITY: Available now at Lush stores and lushusa.com

    I love the LUSH lip tints! They could do with better packaging though.

    This is a beautiful shade of red. I think I will be taking a trip to Lush sooner than I thought, lusting after this and the coordinating lipscrub

    The swatch looks so pretty, but I’d want something more moisturizing. :/

    I have this one too. I am absolutely in loooove with the color, but I find it very difficult to apply and quite drying. Nothing a little lip balm cannot solve, of course, but still.

    I wasn’t so thrilled with the lip tint, but I LOVE this! It smells amazing, looks amazing (different than any other red I have), yes it takes a little bit of moisturization but it’s worth it.

    If you are placing an online order, the Eggsnog balm is AMAZING! It feels buttery good and is cinnamon-y.

    Wow this is really pigmented! I was expecting your typical sheer lip balm by the packaging but it’s definitely like a lipstick. It looks really pretty on you!

    I like the sheerness of the color but I’m not a fan of lip products in pots. A nice little tube with doe-foot applicator is more to my liking. 🙂

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
