Pink Sugar Sugar Tint Lip and Cheek Tint in Code Red

Happy Monday everyone. Hope you are all inspired to take on the new week with gusto. I'm starting off this week on a good note with another product review. This is another shade from the Pink Sugar's Sugar Tint Lip and Cheek Tint line. For today, I have a classic red called Code Red.

The packaging is the same for both Sugar Rush and Code Red. It comes in plastic twist up tube with a long doe-foot applicator. It was easy for me to use the applicator to apply the tint on my lips and cheeks.

I have pretty oily skin and also moisturize before any makeup application so blending the product was easier. For drier skins, you will need to moisturize well so you can get a smooth application. I would also suggest applying in layers so you can control and build the intensity of the blush to avoid the dreaded clown face.

Code Red felt lightweight both on the lips and cheeks. And once it dries, it's virtually budge-proof. It lasted a long time. On my lips, up to seven hours, provided you don't eat any oily food. On my cheeks, the color stayed up to eight hours. The main reason why I am not using both Sugar Rush and Code Red is because of the smell. The heavy fragrance stays and irritates my nose to the
