little white truths

I picked up three of these from strawberrynet because they were on sale for $6 each.

It's the second strawberrynet order I've ever made and I reckon it will be my last one: I'm a bit suss and I think they stock some really really old products (that's why they're so cheap).

I've ordered from other international retailers before - eg beautybay - and I've never felt that I was given old stock, so I won't order from strawberrynet again and will stick to those companies I trust.


Anyhoo. The first shade of my three that I decided to open was Olesya, a colour that looks quite brown and nude but happily warms up a little and looks richer when applied to the lips.

I was immediately struck by the packaging of these tints - it's gorgeous, practical and classy. It's a sturdy silver bullet that twists to close, so there's no chance of the lid coming loose and falling off in your handbag. I love it. It's almost worth spending $6 for the packaging alone!


I like the Becca lettering printed on the lid. A nice touch.

Indeed, I like the packaging so much that it may be my favourite of all the lip products I own! I'll definitely be displaying these on my dresser and keeping the empty tubes once each tint is finished.
