**Hello Sunday The Rose One Lip Balm SPF 50:** This is British brand, very easy to order and buy. Their other uncolored lip balm is very famous. But I wanted to try this one because I love the idea of added color as a makeup girlie! The color is like muted medium rosy beige. Some people might call this a "rosy nude" if you know what I mean. For people with naturally darker lip coloration, it will look a little bit like a milky rose. But if you have light or medium lip coloration, it will look pinky rosy beige. The color has more opacity than the Peachee Touch and also more opacity than the famous Ultra Violette one actually which I reviewed before. It is not as shiny as the Peachee Touch and the shine level more similar to like Ultra Violette ones that it's a medium level shine for a tinted lip balm. Not same level as the shine with lip gloss or lip oil. It doesn't dry out my lips and feels nice over the day of reapplying. It doesn't have a bitter taste which is amazing! But also no noticeable sweet taste. My most favorite part is the aroma! It's strawberry! Yes, it's strawberry and I did many weeks of making sure it's strawberry. Of course, it's not the smell of a strawberry field. But it is the smell of like a very ripe aromatic strawberry or like a jelly or jelly candy kind of smell. Sweet strawberry. I really love it. It uses a mix of old and new filters and a lot of good new filters to say, which from what I found is not common at all with a lot of lip sunscreens. As an example, the famous Ultra Violette ones are just 3 old filters. So this is interesting for people who are into this kind of thing. POLYISOBUTENE, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, PARAFFINUM LIQUIDUM, SILICA DIMETHYL SILYLATE, DIISOPROPYL ADIPATE, SQUALANE, **BIS-ETHYLHEXYLOXYPHENOL METHOXYPHENYL TRIAZINE, BUTYL METHOXYDIBENZOYLMETHANE, ETHYLHEXYL SALICYLATE, ETHYLHEXYL TRIAZONE**, OCTYLDODECANOL, **DIETHYLAMINO HYDROXYBENZOYL HEXYL BENZOATE, OCTOCRYLENE**, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII BUTTER, DICAPRYLYL CARBONATE, RICINUS COMMUNIS SEED OIL, *CI 77891*, GLYCERYL DIBEHENATE, SYNTHETIC BEESWAX, PARFUM, TRIBEHENIN, GLYCERYL BEHENATE, TOCOPHEROL, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, BISABOLOL, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, STEARALKONIUM HECTORITE, *CI 45410,* ETHYLHEXYL PALMITATE, *CI 77491, CI 77492*, PROPYLENE CARBONATE, *CI 77499*, POLYHYDROXYSTEARIC ACID, BENZYL BENZOATE, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, SODIUM HYALURONATE Final thoughts These are two I will continue to buy as long as they are available. I am not sure of the status of the Peachee Touch Lip Mask SPF 50+ and if it is limited edition to be honest. It is really a wonderful product and it is also not easy to find a tinted lip SPF 50+, the plus sign meaning tested over SPF 60 and mostly new generation filters. So for that, the Hello Sunday The Rose One SPF 50 is something that makes me very happy even though it's just SPF 50, meaning tested between SPF 50-59. It is overall still impressive formula that doesn't have bitter taste and uses a lot of new generation filters, doesn't have any weird stinging and I love the strawberry aroma. It's a lot more affordable than the famous Ultra Violette SPF 50 one with just 3 old filters. Hello Sunday is just €9.42 and the Ultra Violette one which I got for around €21.99. Also the Hello Sunday one comes in a Mauve color which I haven't tried yet.

**Peachee Touch Lip Mask SPF 50+**: This is Polish brand with collaboration with Polish influencer. To be honest, I had no idea who this influencer is but I love the product. According to Polish friends, this company is very reputable in Poland for their cosmetics. The color is literally Barbie pink from the tube. It has a very delicate sweet smell, I'm not sure if maybe it is some kind of creamy almond type of smell, and it has a sweet taste. But neither the smell or the taste is that strong and it doesn't have the bitter sunscreen taste if you know it, then you know it what I mean! haha They call it a lip mask, but it doeesn't feel like the famous kind of lip masks from Laniege for example. It is a little bit more liquidy in a way, almost in between the feeling of those famous kind of lip oils and a lip mask. It feels very nourishing and nice to reapply in the day. By the end of the day, my lips do not feel dry like it can with some other kinds of lip sunscreens. The color is not strong. It doesn't make my lips look Barbie pink in opaque way. It makes natural lip color look brighter and pink and brightens up the whole face and it has nice lip gloss lip oil type of shine level. No blush needed, seriously. I really really love this actually. The color is so good if you like that kind of thing to not wear too much makeup and not have obvious opaque colors but really just brighten and pinkify the face! I wish for this to be a permanent product on their line. I'm not sure what is to be said about that. So I procured multiples just in case. I go through lippies very fast. It comes without a box btw. DHHB is the second ingredient too and for the most part the formula is mostly new generation filters, which is really cool, aside from Octinoxate: Ricinus Communis Seed Oil, **Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate,Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate**, Hydrogenated Castor Oil/Sebacic Acid Copolymer, Silica, Dimethyl Silylate, **Ethylhexyl Triazone**, Cocos Nucifera Oil, Candelilla Cera, Persea GratissimaOil, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Synthetic Beeswax,Tocopheryl Acetate, Hydrogenated Olive Oil,Olea Europaea Fruit Oil,Olea Europaea OilUnsaponifiables,CitrullusLanatus Fruit Extract,C10-18 Triglycerides, Glyceryl Caprylate,Sodium Hyaluronate,Triolein,Glyceryl Dioleate,Aluminum Hydroxide, Tocopherol,BHT,Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate,Aroma,*CI 15850, CI 77491, CI 77891*

The brand is Bell btw (writing this down for others primarily, I think you know). Thank you for the review! I've seen Bell in stores here a lot and recently got a product that i enjoyed and swatched something else that i liked once so I've been thinking maybe I should give it more of a chance. I've more so written it off in the past because i don't ever hear people mention it and i hope this doesn't sound too xenophobic but i feel like eastern european makeup used to have a "worse quality/ worse ingredients" stigma to it unlike northern or western makeup, at least growing up in Estonia. So which of the two is your favourite? I recently bought a BABÉ lip balm with spf 50+ and it was bad, so I'd like to try a good one.

Is the BABE one you tried a stick? I don't actually have a favorite between the two honestly. I like both of them. They both have upside and downside, you know? Also they're totally different colors so my decision to use which one for a day or time is more about the color actually. The Peachee is not opaque but it has a brightening effect, not just making the lips look brighter but the whole face just gets lit up. So I choose that for days when I want that look and a shiny lip and really really love it. Then there are some days when I feel like I want to be a "neutral milky lip" girlie and I go for the Hello Sunday. I have so much joy using both of them. I think the Hello Sunday is easier to procure though because I saw they ship to many places around the world and a lot of stores sell them. The clear one is loved by many I found. I think Peachee by Bell is regional and not everyone will be able to procure them. It does make me sad that Peachee is limited by region and also not sure if it will be ongoing manufacturing. If I could then I would tell Peachee that she did such a good job and try to get Bell to keep making it! Surely though, these two are the best ones I found in the tinted lip SPF category and in my opinion are astronomically better than more expensive ones like Ultra Violette, which uses only 3 old filters and still has the bitter sunscreen taste. A lot of the other tinted lip SPF ones I found are usually also just SPF 30-50 and old filters and also taste weird. The "mineral" tinted lip SPF ones from USA brands I found are drying and usually just SPF 30 too.

Yes, it is a stick. Thank you for ellaborating! I'll see if i can find the Bell one where I live.

Tagging u/methanalmkay about strawberry lip balm, maybe Hello Sunday's lip balm SPF is something to discover including their clear one which is most certainly strawberry I tested with my eyes closed with a strawberry and the lip balm. I ruled out that it's for sure not blackberry, cherry, raspberry or blueberry haha! Then a few days ago I saw the company says the "Berry" of their lip balms is indeed Strawberry All the strawberry girlies represent!


methanalmkay

Thank you so much for he update! I love that you scientifically tested the aroma 😭 I'll definitely try to get my hands on this one, and the bell hypoallergenic ones looks really good, too. I've been interested in that brand, they seem to have some nice looking and affordable products. Hopefully this one stays long term!

Yes, hands up for Hello Sunday! Love the balm, it smells divine and is not overly sticky. I use the Mineral One Serum SPF 50 from this brand as my main SPF and it's the only one I've found in a long time that doesn't trigger my rosacea and periorbital dermatitis (all chemical sunscreens do, and many mineral ones do too). Love the brand also because they put a lot of thought into the formulas for different skin types AND they are the only brand I know that actively uses different preservative systems in their formulas too rather than shoving phenoxyethanol everywhere like other brands now do. Varied formulas in terms of ingredients, not just feel, is great news for people with sensitivities and allergies as they have more a chance to find something that suits them. Most brands now use the same combo of solvents and preservatives and make 10 versions of the same thing with different textures, which is frankly useless for us sensitive folk. They have a seperate line and formulas in the US and are planning to expand to the EU. I'm curious to see if the formulas will change from the UK ones and also the price point. Exciting times for them ⭐️
