Bubbly

I have this balm in the mini size, which is perfect for travel and everyday touch-ups. It’s a multi-use stick designed for lids, lips, and cheeks, and the shade Bubbly is a very light mauve-pink with a shimmer. I personally enjoy using this on my cheeks and eyelids rather than on my lips. Because of the shimmer, it actually works nicely as a subtle highlighter. I really enjoy using multi-sticks, and while this one didn’t completely wow me in terms of color payoff, I do appreciate how clean and thoughtfully made it is. The ingredient list feels safe and gentle, which makes it a great option for anyone looking for clean makeup, including younger users or those with sensitive skin. I usually apply this using my fingers or a brush. When applied directly over the foundation, it can slightly lift the base, so I prefer warming the product on the back of my hand and then blending it onto the skin. On days when I’m not wearing much makeup, it glides on easily and looks very natural. This is a nice, easy-to-use multi-balm that fits well into a simple, clean beauty routine. It’s especially nice for minimal makeup days, travel, or anyone who prefers a soft glow rather than heavy color.

Another product from @bittybalms that I tested for the Clean Beauty Awards. This time it's a bitty balm in the color Bubbly. This color becomes a sheer shimmer on my olive colored skin. It didn't work as a lipstick for me personally as I like berry/rose tones and this color made my lips look nude and slightly frosty. I think though that if you're a fan of the nude/neutral color palette, you'll probably really love this shade. This shade probably works better for me as a highlighter color.
