There's a fine line between glittery and glitter-bomb, but shoppers say this $6 lip balm walks it beautifully. The Catrice Glam In Gold Glow Lip Balm is winning fans for its glossy finish, nourishing formula, and subtle sparkle -- with a little science magic thrown in. Thanks to its pH-reactive tint, the balm shifts color based on your skin, leaving behind a personalized pink that reviewers are calling "soft," "pretty," and "candy-like."
One shopper summed it up: "Goes on buttery smooth, is very nourishing, a pretty pink per my pH, and the sparkle is subtle and not very textured like other pH lip balms with glitter. Lips are still tinted after it's wiped off over time. I just love this stuff." And it's not just a one-and-done swipe -- reviewers say the color lingers long after the balm wears off.
Another shopper said the color-changing lip balm "turned my lips a nice candy pink" within minutes, calling the feel "very moisturizing" and the shimmer "clear, but not too overwhelming." If you've been burned by grainy glitter balms in the past, this one might change your mind -- the gold flecks add a soft gleam without the scratch.
The ingredient list is also getting praise. With no parabens, oils, or microplastics -- and a vegan, cruelty-free formula certified by PETA -- the gold-to-pink lip balm is designed for both comfort and conscience. Reviewers say it "smells delicious" and "feels amazing when I apply." One fan even bought extras for their sisters and added, "We all love it so much we're almost out."
Even skeptics are converting. "Was skeptical but like Catrice as a brand," one reviewer admitted. "Glad I tried the color-changing lipstick. Very pleased with the shade, the lasting color, and the hydration."
With a smooth feel, sheer sparkle, and that just-right hint of pink, this balm has earned its place in more than a few summer bags. If you've been looking for something effortless but a little fun, shoppers say that Catrice Glam in Gold Glow Lip Balm one is "highly recommend"-worthy.
