Carter Beauty Free Speech Lip Tint, Diana

Initially I just wanted to try an Irish brand considering how famous Ireland has become in terms of their humanitarian stand in the UN!! But now that I tried this product, I'm seriously in love with it!!! It performs better than high end products at sephora!!! This is a fantastic product! Just buy it everyone....I'll surely be buying more shades...

i love it! it's highly pigmented so I only dab a small amount on my lips and spread with my fingers.. it lasts long and doesn't dry the lips unlike other lip tints.. will probably try other colors :-)

It’s taken me months of research for me to find lip stains that don’t have things I’m allergic to like synthetic fragrance and propylene glycol. I was afraid that this was going to just be a liquid lipstick. The darker swipe is of ‘Michelle’ freshly swatched. It’s thick, opaque, and glossy. After a few minutes I wiped away the gloss and was left with a nice plum stain. I love it. I hope this is never discontinued!!

Because this is a gloss and the color is light (I chose "Debbie,"), I was expecting this product to be on the sheer side. However, it has a decent opacity for lip gloss. The color is sort of a nude/light coral. It is slightly lighter than the color of my own lips, yet one swipe of the gloss gives me nude/coral lips, hiding my natual color well. Notice I keep referring to this product as a lip gloss, because to me that's what it is. The company calls it a tint, but to me a tint is more like a thinner stain, and this s a thick gloss.Other features of this lip gloss include that it is smooth and moisturizing, gives a glossy finish, and lasts fairly well for lip gloss, though I would not exactly call it long wearing. It's more like it wears like a typical lip gloss. I also like that this light coral color mixes well with darker colors to tone them down a bit. I have a deep brown lip gloss that is just too dark for me, but adding a dab of this light coral shade does the trick.Overall a nice gloss in a pretty shade that would be great for people with pale skin, or anyone who wants a fresh look for spring, as "Debbie" is a light, pretty color.

The lip gloss could have been great if it hadn't been spoiled. It had a terrible smell when I opened it and I was afraid to apply it to my lips for fear of causing an allergic reaction. Although the color is gorgeous and it's a shame they sent me an unusable product.

So I wasn't sure what to expect with this. What is a tint, anyway? So many brands have different definitions of how a lip tint is defined. So in Carter Beauty, I believe this might be defined as being, not precisely a gloss, or a matte, or a regular lipstick. It certainly wasn't like any "tint" I'd ever experienced, which usually means a sort of transparent matte.This lip tint ended up being a glossy, long-wearing pigment. I'm not too sure why it's labeled "tint", as it seems it might be better labeled "gloss," but I'm unsure of the vagaries of labeling. Instead of gently tinting my lips with a slightly matte finish, it added a glossy sheen that lasted a fairly long time. It looked pretty good, but I'm not sure that I'd label this a lip tint. If you want a nice gloss, this is great. However, calling it a lip tint might be a stretch.

I got the "Diana" color. I love the color. It is a coral pink color that brightens up your face. It is comfortable to wear, not too sticky, highly pigmented with a natural shine. It covers the color of your lips.The one drawback is the scent. There is no fragrance. It smells like petroleum when I apply it to my lips. Fortunately, the scent went away pretty quickly so it does not bother me that much.The lip gloss can transfer to your clothes easily. Be careful if you need to change your clothes while you have this lipgloss on your lips.
