Rare Beauty With Gratitude Dewy Lip Balm ($16) is a new hydrating lip balm available in eight shades. I’m always up for hydrating lip balms so I picked up one of these a few weeks ago! I was actually expecting a shiny type of balm sort of like the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Trio I keep going on and on about but this is actually much more of a lip balm that I thought it would be yet has excellent pigmentation.

Rare Beauty With Gratitude Dewy Lip Balm is available in eight shades and holds 0.1 oz of lip balm for $16. The balm comes in a lightweight U-shaped barrel that has a magnet closure. It’s very basic packaging that’s cream in color with the Rare Beauty name printed in gold on the side of the tube. I read a few reviews that said there was no magnet on their barrel but mind definitely has one. The U-shape can make it a little iffy when storing it with other lipstick bullets but it’s nothing too crazy. This product isn’t one I’d recommend carrying in your purse on a hot day as it will melt. I got the shade Thankful which has a creamy gel-like texture which didn’t feel balmy at all and had the pigment of a sheerer lipstick. They advertise this as having a “kiss of dewy color” but there’s definitely more than “kiss” of color here! It’s quite pigmented. It’s also not really dewy, I would say it feels lightly balmy and creamy. There’s no shine to the finish in my opinion but it does leav...
