Ariamonaco Avis 

The cherry tint showed up softer than I expected, which is actually what I like most about this lip balm. I keep the tube in my jacket pocket and use it before school drop-off or after coffee, just one swipe and my lips feel less dry. It has a nice smooth feel from the oils, not waxy or sticky, and the color looks fresh without needing a mirror. The cap was a little tight the first couple of days, but that’s settled now. Easy little balm I keep reaching for.

Finding a tinted lip product that actually moisturizes is rare, but this cherry balm is exactly what I needed. It glides on smoothly, leaving a lovely, sheer red finish that brightens up my complexion without looking overdone. I really love that the plant-based oils keep my lips feeling deeply nourished rather than just coating them in a sticky layer. The only small downside is that the formula is quite soft, so you have to be careful not to twist the tube up too high or it might break during application. Overall, it's an absolutely fantastic daily lip care product.

I chose a simple black dress from Aria Monaco for a dinner started early and went on much longer than planned. The length worked with flat shoes, and I cloud sit comfortably without adjusting the skirt every few minutes. It arrived folded aquite tightly, so I steamed the front before wearing it. By the end the evening the shape still looked neat, event after the train ride home. I will probably keep it for the occasions when jeans feel too casual.
