Vieve Treasure Tin – Rosa

I like having keepsake tins, I really enjoy the Vieve Sunset Blushes, and I’ve been curious to see if the brand’s lip oils were worth the hype, so this purchase made complete sense for me to make (besides the bonus of a slight discount for Black Friday). The design on the outer packaging is so pretty that I can’t deny that played a big part in me wanting it, besides it being limited edition. I’m glad the tin can be reused when the plastic insert is removed.

The Lip Dew’s cap has a short wand with a large applicator that seems to be the popular shape for lip oil packaging. The lippie has a beautiful soft rose hue (hence the Rosa name), but the color doesn’t show very much on my lips. It looks mostly clear, but with a decent amount of shine to it. The Pat Mcgrath, Fenty, and Ami Cole glosses are all shinier. I would call this consistency more like a gloss than an oil. It’s sticky, but I’ve had stickier glosses such as the Gloss Bombs.

I think that texture helps it to last longer on my lips, but it barely lingers after eating so I wouldn’t call it long-lasting unless you don’t eat for an extended period of time. Then, one could get around four hours before needing to touch up.

I like this product quite a lot since it feels moisturizing to my lips, which is notoriously a struggle for me to keep my lips conditioned. It’s not to the level of Ami Cole’s hydration factor and doesn’t necessarily soften my lips like Too Faced Hangover Pillow Balms, but it at least prevents lip dryness from getting worse while I wear it, which is better than a lip product that slowly dries my lips out over time (which is the majority of things). For that reason, I do recommend them for anyone looking for something to keep the lips moisturized for a time, and for an average amount of shine to the lips. If you don’t have lip dryness issues as badly as mine, this could perform even better, which is why I think there is some validity to the hype.

The star of the show is the blush in the shade Rosa, which hasn’t been released for individual purchase yet.

As can be seen in swatches, it’s a nude color that just barely shows on my arm in swatches, but the pink tinge can be built up and is still visible on my cheeks. It reminds me of MAC’s blush in the shade Coppertone.

Unlike the shade Sorbet, I don’t see any shimmer in Rosa (just like Piazza). I consider it a soft matte though. It’s just as semi-firmly pressed as I mentioned in my original review. It’s also that same buildable pigmentation and long-lasting. Although the color is still a touch more subtle than I go for in a nude blush, I’m still happy with my purchase.

Between the two products and cute tin, this was an absolute win!

That’s everything for today. Thank you for reading!
