Most Helpful Positive Review Pretty Good The tint on this is quite nice. It's a subtle but flattering peachy pink. I find a lot of color changing balms/lipsticks tend to lean toward purple/magenta and can either be too much in color payoff (Essence Kiss is a good example of this) or not enough color payoff (I find some of the Lipstick Queens are disappointing in this regard). This is a nice amount of tint in a flattering shade. It does smell like watermelon in the tube, but not on the lips, and there is no watermelon flavoring. It has that sort of artificial taste to it that all the other jelly balms have. It isn't very moisturizing, however, and doesn't last very long. My lips felt dry within ten minutes or less after applying, without drinking, eating, or speaking. Overall not bad, but not amazing, and probably worth a little less than the asking price, especially for the small size.
Most Helpful Critical Review Sooo drying! So I impulsively bought this right when it launched on the winky lux website about 2-3(?) years ago. It smelled delightful when I got it but after several months of use it started to turn. I think the scent doesn't last as long as the actual formula...so if you're buying one that has been sitting in a warehouse for 4+ months after being made (which I'd imagine most things are) this probably isn't going to smell the freshest :( maybe that's why all of these reviews are what they are...just a theory!
As for my experience, this is one of those classic "ph activated" lip balms that just turns everyone's lip the same shade of bright pink. If that color won't look good on your skin tone, don't buy this. Fortunately the color worked for me but every time I wore it my lips would be sooo painfully dry the next day, no matter what I tried to do to prevent it :( (lip balm before, after, didn't matter!) like worse than the worst matte liquid lip. I had to toss it because it wasn't worth the stinging. Also worth noting: it keeps its shape but turns kind of gross in the heat...lol it gets to be in the high 70s in my house during the summer and that was enough to change its consistency :(

Danielle Joy from California
This product tastes disgusting! Especially if you put a mask on shortly after! It was so much worse! I also feel like it chapped my lips. Definitely will be returning!
Presentation is great 3
Barbie from Sylmar
The product packaging is lovely. However, the product does not last long and it's expensive.
So cute and fun! 5
GiGi from Colorado
I love the color changing aspects, but it might not be for everyone.
So Fun!! 5
Beth from NE
I love this product! So fun and always makes me feel like summertime
Fruit Kisses 5
Krix from CA - California
I've used many of the floral Winky Lux lip products before this watermelon blend and this flavor is SO delicious and by far my favourite. Leaves a gentle pink hue and simply edible scented lips. All the YES! 🍉
Fun lip balm 4
Jessica from New Richmond, Wisconsin
Winky Lux is so much fun! The color is so pretty and it's a fast fix to add color without any messes. I like to wear this when I don't feel like wearing a full face. Mascara and this balm and I'm good to go. Only bad thing is it dries your lips out in the winter.
perfect glide 4
Jenny from Florence, SC
I'd have given this 5 stars if it wasn't so pricey. I love how smooth it glides on. I've had no issues with the scent or taste. Will probably purchase again.
Really bad taste 2
Amanda from Albuquerque
The taste is awful and it doesnt go away. I love the tint and everything else is nice. But for product so small with a pretty high price tag, i expected much more. There are wayyyyy cheaper lip balms that dont have an awful taste, thats the least they couldve done for such an expensive lip balm 🤷♀️🤢
Not worth the money $$ 1
Teresa from Pennsylvania
It tastes horrible & I don't think it's worth the money. It gives of a slight color but it doesn't compliment every complexion. Save your money!
I liked the color but the taste was horrible! 1
Ali from Arkansas
Loved the color and it was great as a balm. But the aftertaste was like strong petroleum. Almost made me sick
So smooth and lasts all day 5
Nikki from Miami
Bought this because it looked so cute and not disappointed. Smells like a jolly rancher and the tint lasts all day, even with a mask. My lips didnt dry out from it and I use it all the time. Really cute gift idea
Terrible taste 1
BJCarsen from Aberdeen MD
I want to like Winky Lux. I've bought several tubes and they all taste terrible. Until the can make their lips sticks not taste so badly I will not purchase again.
Yuck 1
Pinky from Milwaukee
If I could I would give it 0 stars. Tastes like poison, drying, expensive, so many bad points. There are cheaper and better ph-color changing lippies out there.
Not worth the money. 3
Izzy from Texas
It is pricey but the color last all day and it is super cute. The glossiness of the lipstick is short lived but my lips remained soft. Overall it is an okay purchase.
Loved it!! Wish it was cheaper 5
Nina from Rockville MD
Gives a perfect tint
Smells delicious, looks delicious 5
Mel from Nashville, TN
My friend and I both tried this and it looks a bit different on both of us so the Ph part really works. My favorite part is that it stays on your lips all day without feeling super sticky. It's my go to lipstick now for a person who prefers matte lip products.
Not Watermelon 3
K from NC
Cute packaging and smooth application but absolutely no watermelon scent or taste. Disappointed for the price. I'm not sure if this was an older tube, but nowhere near as good as other Winky Lux products that I have used.
Good product 4
M from USA
It absorbs into my lips fast and hydrates them. It smelled like a flower candle or flowers, not candy. It has a cute package and I like the pink tint it has.
Obsessed! 5
Carmen loves all things cute! from TX
I love everything about this product! It turned my lips into a very juicy, sweet smelling and inviting pout!
Nice color. Feels like bare lips. Nice fragrance! 4
Melissa from Lady Lake, Fl
Was looking for a splash of color for every day use.
Eh 1
HR from Tx
The color was pretty but it dried my lips out really bad. Probably won't use it again.
Winky Lux is the bomb 5
Nancy from Aliso Viejo, CA
I love winky lux lip sticks, glosses. They change color with your skin and are so fun. The lip sticks are amazing. I know it is a winner I'df a 12 year old TimTok watcher loved the color

Impulse buy 5
Skyebaby from Jackson, MS
I bought this on a whim and it's ended up being a true pick-me-up. I'm a watermelon lover and this smells and tastes like a watermelon candy. The color is surprising. It really does tint my lips and honestly I think it makes them feel pretty soft!
Smells horrible 3
Sam from Columbus, Ohio
The color is great, but the box says it smells like candy. It does not smell like candy it smells absolutely horrible. I was hoping it would smell like watermelon.
