Color Nectar Pigment Balm: Wasp

The pigment in Wasp is so rich that one swipe gives me that deep, golden-amber pop on my lips, and it layers beautifully for a more intense look. I've been using it daily for a week now and the buildable formula hasn't dried or settled into lines at all.

I was skeptical about a balm that does double duty, but this one glides on smoothly and the Wasp shade gives my lips and cheeks a warm, sunlit flush. It’s taken me about a week to figure out the right amount, but the color builds beautifully and lasts through a coffee break.

The balm’s buildable color is exactly what I wanted—one swipe gives a sheer wash, two or three and it’s a proper statement lip. It sits comfortably without that heavy, sticky feel I usually get from tinted balms, and the shade is a true golden yellow that pops on my skin tone.
