Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the Rare Beauty With Gratitude Dewy Lip Balm in the shade Sincere from the Mini Mauves Lip Duo.
Rare Beauty just arrived in Italy and I wanted to try something, especially the lip products so when I saw this lip kit I thought it was my great chance.
You can get this lip balm full size but not this shade which is exclusive for the kit. The full size is 2,8g and you can buy it here for 16$ (again this shade is not available) and you can get this kit here for 18$.
COLOUR
The colour is a mauve nude.
PACKAGING
The packaging is very pretty, I love it, side note, the flat side makes it super easy to take pictures because it doesn’t roll around. Not the biggest perk for everyone but for a blogger is great.
The name is at the bottom.
The scent is very delicate, vanillary and not overpowering.
FORMULA & APPLICATION
The formula is very creamy and it glides on really easily, the finish is quite glossy but not too much.
It’s very pigmented though, more like a lipstick which I wasn’t expecting and I actually don’t like. If I use a lip balm, I want something sheerer.
It feels quite hydrating and it’s quite easy to apply, even without a mirror.
SWATCH
LASTING POWER
This lipstick lasts for 2 hours on me (without eating), since it’s so shiny I wasn’t expecting an incredible lasting time, but you can reapply it really easily.
RATING:
- Colour: 8/10
- Longevity: 8/10
- Application: 8/10
- Pigmentation: 8/10
- Formula: 7/10
- Packaging: 8/10
GRADE: B-
This is a nice lip balm and such a pretty colour for every day, it’s hydrating and looks good on the lips, the only complaint I have is that it looks more of a lipstick than a lip balm which is not exactly what I wanted, especially because it’s marketed as a lip balm. Lasting power is good and I love the packaging.

It does sound more like a hydrating lipstick then a lip balm. The shade is stunning though and it looks beautiful on you!
I definitely agree! Thank you so much x
Looking at the color on the lip balm itself, I would have thought it would be darker. I love the color on you! It’s delicate and beautiful.
Right? Perfect for everyday x
That swatch test has me sold. I love hydrating lip balms that have a good tint of color! It’s like a 2-in-1!
It’s so good!
Ok not a bad rating. I’d love to try this color. I swear every shade looks so good on you!
Thank you so much💕 oranges are terrible on me ahahah
Looks like a great set, i’ve never bought a combo like that but it’s perfect!
Thank you 💕
I definitely want to try this lip balm. I love the color tint. It’s so pretty!
So pretty right x
Yup, these are VERY pigmented for what they are. I found the formula very hydrating at first but increasingly dry after a few minutes on my lips. But keep in mind, I’m very dry all over.
My lips aren’t super dry at the moment so maybe that’s why I didn’t notice
