Sally Hansen Spirited Spice Colorfast Tint + Moisture Balm

Spirit Spice is the second Sally Hansen Colorfast Tint + Moisture Balm I got (certainly not the last) so this review will contain much less blabbing, as the formula seems consistent enough across the shades. Some basic info: The Colorfast balm tint are quite pigmented for balm, applies homogeneously (no slipping) and comfortably, even though not in an actively quenching way. The balm has a faint vanilla (or baked sweet) scent that doesn't linger. Packaging is a little cheaper looking (with the clear lid) compared to Revlon, and the paint on the tube get scratched off easily.
Spirited Spice, Lunasol Full Glamour Lips Brown Red 08, Revlon Pink Truffle, Peach Parfait and Adore (balm stain). It's hard to pinpoint what kind of shade is Spirited Spice, while it looks like a medium brown peach in the stick and  lighter cantaloupe on my arm. The color turns significantly more pinkish and redder once on my lips.

Lip swatch of Sally Hansen Spirited Spice Colorfast Tint + Moisture Balm. The color just does a great job brightening up the face without looking too made-up. I also like how it's neutral enough that it doesn't bring attention to other blemishes around. Lasting power (2-3 hr) was decent, at least for a slightly shiny lip color that doesn't dry out or stain.

Overall: Unexpected favorite (Ok, I usually go for red or other brights so I didn't expect to like something this neutral).
