Peonies have always been my favourite
flowers and it's no wonder that L'Occitane's Peony line still reigns amongst my
all-time-favourites. One of the newest additions to the collection were the
Pivoine Sublime Tinted Lip Balms. Formulated with SPF 25 and perfecting peony
extract, they provide the lips with necessary care and protection and offer a
bit of coloured tint.
I was kindly sent the Pivoine Sublime Tinted Lip Balm
in a Tender Red shade to try out and it quickly became one of the only items I
wore on my lips throughout summer. During the hot and humid months I tend to
stay away from heavy lip products, but I still want a bit of colour on the
lips. These lip balms turned out to be perfect.
The moisturizing formula kept
my lips feeling plump and hydrated and looking juicy (however, if your lips are
extra chapped, this might not provide the necessary moisture).

The packaging is a heavy, well made metal tube that
feels rich and sturdy, featuring a peony design and is coloured correspondingly
to the product inside.
The screw-on top ensures that the balm remains safe and
closed when carried in a handbag or a pocket, which is highly
appreciated.
The pigmentation is surprisingly strong and applies
evenly. The shade is a vibrant, semi-opaque and cool toned red that gives any
make up look a sense of effortless sophistication.
As with any other lip balm,
the colour starts fading after a while, however it fades evenly and leaves
behind a slight stain. I was a bit worried that the colour would be too tricky
to apply without a mirror, but I find that I can get away with the no-mirror
touch-ups on the go.
If you are a peony lover you'll also enjoy the fact that
balm also has the typical L'Occitane peony scent.
Available in L'Occitane stores and the store
website.
Thanks for reading and see you in my next post!
