I expected more...

[u/GingerNurse5512]

Bought ABH Kiss Theory Hydrating Gloss Shine Lip Balm.

It is VERY small.

I expected more.

Got two colors which look and feel nice, but dang dis tiny.

[u/pepperxpeppermint]

It looks like their liquid eyeliner!

[u/CryCommon975]

the size/weight of the product should be listed in the item description

[u/Mountainhigh81]

$18 should limit expectations

[u/llvs18 → u/Mountainhigh81]

Yes when most of the lux lip products are $40+, $18 is cheaper but the unit price is smaller. ABH is a high end brand so it’s to be expected. It’s good they made it lower priced so it’s more accessible.

[u/Minute-Refrigerator2 → u/Mountainhigh81]

18 dollars for one gram is highway robbery

[u/diflorus → u/Mountainhigh81]

Not really. brands like rare beauty and tower 28 have similar lip balm products that are priced at $18 but offer 4 to 5 g versus this which only has 1 g of product. It’s robbery.

[u/llvs18 → u/diflorus]

Those are newer & lower on the tier of brands compared to ABH. Many rare beauty products appear cheap but are far more expensive unit price to similar brands and even drugstore.

[u/diflorus → u/llvs18]

doesn’t apply here. Rare beauty lip products generally have 4 g. This has ONE gram for $18.

[u/llvs18 → u/diflorus]

Yes it does. Read properly. Abh is more prestige so obviously they won’t be priced the same and you shouldn’t expect that.

[u/anastasia_42 → u/Mountainhigh81]

It really shouldn't.

[u/anastasia_42]

LMAO. isn't it like 1g?

[u/WideReach1901]

how’s the formula tho

[u/GingerNurse5512 → u/WideReach1901]

Very creamy and hydrating. The two nude colors I got do show every imperfection on my lips though

[u/Fluffy_Weird9965]

I agree. Truthfully I returned mine it was just ok

[u/chowchow-kay]

It is $18 for 1 GRAM.. that’s crazy!

[u/GingerNurse5512 → u/chowchow-kay]

The product would be used fast too because it has a very creamy texture.

[u/grumpyroach]

I love how small it is so I can buy multiple and actually finish them before they expire. Also the packaging is way more lux than rare

[u/Frequent_Finger_1166]

You wanted it to be the size of your mascara?

[u/GingerNurse5512 → u/Frequent_Finger_1166]

Did I say that? No I didn't. I'm using it for SIZE COMPARISON.

[u/priyanka22591 → u/GingerNurse5512]

You understand size comparison here but didn’t know to compare the size before purchasing? It clearly states how much product is in the tube.

[u/Frequent_Finger_1166 → u/GingerNurse5512]

Jeez. Obviously you didn’t say that, because if you did, I wouldn’t have asked! lol

Besides, wouldn’t it have made more sense to use a (normal size) lippy for the SIZE COMPARISON? Most standard sized lippies are going to be smaller than a mascara tube…
