Almost purple
Rare Beauty Almost Purple Lingering Vulnerable Glossy Lip Balm Rare Beauty Almost Purple Lying Vulnerable Glossy Lip Balm ($ 18.00 for 0.12 oz.) Is a muted, rosy plum with subtle, warm undertones and a jelly-like finish. It had a moderate sheen with translucency as it had a sharper coverage as marketed that allowed the natural lip color to come through.
The texture was light, smooth and like a mild gel, so plush and pillow-like without being sticky. It lasted a good two and a half hours and felt moisturizing when worn.

Formula overview
$ 18.00 / 0.12 oz. – – $ 150.00 per ounce
The formula is said to have a “long lasting hydration” with a “non-sticky” feel and a “shiny color wash”. As described, they are purely opaque and bear in mind that this leads to colors that can look different depending on the natural lip colors, and that they usually also look more similar than differentiated.
The texture was smooth, balm-like, and plush – it felt more gel-like and pillow-like on my lips, which made it comfortable to wear. They applied evenly, didn’t accentuate my lip lines or the natural lip texture, and felt moisturizing over time. Unsurprisingly, they weren’t a particularly durable product and lasted two to three hours at best.

Almost neutral
Rare Beauty Almost Neutral, Vulnerable, Shiny Lip Balm Rare Beauty, Almost Neutral, Vulnerable, Shiny Lip Balm ($ 18.00 for 0.12 oz.) Is a muted, light-medium caramel brown with moderate, warmer undertones and a jelly-like finish. It had a moderate gloss and a pure to semi-transparent color coverage as is available in the market. The translucency combined with the lack of shimmer made it look more jelly-like than creamy in its finish.
The gloss had a smooth, non-sticky consistency that was light but plush, which helped soften the lip lines. It wore well for two and a half hours and felt moisturizing over time.
