If there's any chance of a kiss on Valentines Day then Romand's Juicy Lasting Tint is the product I'd recommend. My personal favourite shade is "Fig Fig", but all of the tints offer effortlessly plump lips with a vivid tint. Best of all, you can create multiple lip looks with a single product by layering it or leaving it sheer.
My favourite way to use it is to apply a lip mask first, then Fig Fig over the top. That visibly reduces lip lines, dryness and cracks and makes your tint last much longer.
BENEFITS
Creates gorgeous glossy lips without any oiliness
Lip gloss + Lipstick + Lip tint-in-one
Clear and syrupy finish with vibrant and unique colors

BENEFITS
