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 :(

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
Sooo drying! 2

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.
Delightful color and texture! 4
Kristi G from Grand Rapids, MI
This is a beautiful gloss that is sheer and moisturizing. I did not lick or eat the stick, yet it tasted bitter in my mouth until it wore off. I was hoping for a juicy watermelon flavor. I loved it, but the taste made me not want another tube.
Not for me 2
Lil brown girl from Ca
It's super cute! Except it actually has a pink tint to it when i wiped it off, my lips looked way too pink and I'm brown so it just looked weird lol
Love this 5
Faith from 66062
Smells and looks amazing
Tastes like hand sanitizer 3
kenna from Seattle
When I put this on my lips, without licking it, I taste it and it's gross
Cute but not useful 3
MM Oreos from Ewa Beach, Hawai'i
The color is gorgeous. Perfect for a natural lip look. It goes on so silky smooth. But it's extremely drying on your lips and tastes horrible!
watermelon? 2
Jeanette from Hendersonville
the color is beautiful!! I have no complaints there. but the smell/taste Oh My Goodness. so so bad. I will tolerate it but not daily and not if I intend to do any smooching. will recommend with warning in the details.
Pretty color but cannot handle it 1
Natalie from US
The smell and taste...oh dear. I'm not one to be sensitive to these things but it was about as bad as you could get. Can't even describe it but stay far, far away. Love other winky lux lip products so this was a surprise.
Horrible taste 3
Ash from WA
It's really cute and I love the shade of pink it turns my lips, but the taste makes it not worth it
forgot to add 2
megs from Illinois
it also tastes and smells HORIBBLE
2 stars for color, but not good product 2
megs from Illinois
does not hydrate at all. I put my lip primer underneath to retain some moisture, otherwise it's very uncomfortable to wear. one of those products that's supposed to be different for everybody but it all ends up the same (bright pink). cute color, fun watching it change, but NOT a lip balm in the slightest. if this is any indication of what their other balms are like then I will not be buying any more from this company.
Feels great 5
Liz from Tulsa
This feels a lot like an oil. I love the color it changes too on my lips. A lot of PH balms are too intense for me, but this one adds a hint of color that looks natural and complements my skin tone. I can't detect any watermelon scent or flavor- but I'm not concerned about that.
It's cool but not flavorful or moisturizing 4
Sarah from California
I love the shade of that this balm gave me but it isn't moisturizing at all. Like all the other reviews, it might be best to put on a moisturizing lip balm before you apply this jelly balm. I wish the tube was bigger and that there was watermelon flavoring. Hopefully this company will invest in R&D and improve this product. Maybe come out with a larger tube. It's a great concept and I can see it taking off with a just a few more tweaks.
Really love this! 5
Air from Jacksonville Beach, FL
I'm on my second one tube of this. I love the subtle stain it leaves and it's hydrating without feeling like a layer of wax is all over your lips. Glides on smoothly and easily like a balm should. The texture feels a little bit like a lip oil or a slippery gloss.
Love this! 5
Amy from NYC
I love the soft pink color this balm turns on me!
