Refy Beauty it’s one of those brands that keeps popping up on my radar. I’ve seen so much raves about their brow products so I ordered a few items to try like the brow pencil and while I’ve been loving them, they feel like my tried and true brow staples from Avail the Anastasia Beverly Hills it was more my vibe.
I did a poll on stories asking you if you’ve tried the brand and what you liked. Dozens of you told me to try them Tinted Lip Gloss so I ordered all six shades along with some of the Lip Sculpt. You can find them at Refy Beauty and most of the items also in Sephora.
Here are three things I’ve tried and love.
Tinted Lip Gloss
The Tinted Lip Gloss ($20) comes in six shades and clears. They also released a limited edition red color for the holidays, but it seems to have sold out. The Tinted Lip Glosses it’s smooth with sheer-medium pigmentation, not quite super sheer and not quite medium, but somewhere in between.
They are described as a lip gloss with the benefits of a balm. They feel very comfortable on the lips and while they don’t last long on me, they last long enough that I don’t have to reapply constantly. They have no aroma or taste. I love the glossy finish and every neutral shade is amazing. Some of them look similar to me as seen from my natural lip.
Taupe, Blush and Rosewood are the lighter options, all variations of a neutral pink. Fawn is a beautiful beige tan. Dusk is a beautiful warm pink. Sepia is a cool plum brown. I think it’s hard to pick a favorite, but I really like Rosewood, Dusk and Taupe.
Below are swatches of all the shades, also wearing:
Overall really love it. They have a metal tipped applicator which can get a bit messy when you swipe them over the lips to blend the product. You’ll have to wipe it down after use, but that’s not unexpected. The only thing I would change is the color of the packaging. Right now they are all the same color. If they had some sort of striped or tinted exterior (eg Summer Fridays the Rhodes) would make it much easier to pick up the shade you want just by looking at the tube (as opposed to reading the tiny print on the back). Some shades have started in the Sephora but you can find them all at Refy Beauty.
Swatches in action here:
Lip Sculpt
The Lip Sculpt ($26) has so many mixed reviews and after testing some of the shades I have mixed feelings too. They are available in the same colors as the glossy. I absolutely love the colors. The pigment is quite good. I’m not the biggest fan of the formula though. If you have dry lips (ie if you don’t have lip balm or primer) they will pull. I know with any kind of matte formula there will be some level of tugging, but it’s not the easiest to apply because they set quickly. They have a pencil on one end and a setting product on the other which I don’t like at all. It has a strange texture and an almost off-white finish.
Cream Bronzer
I recently tried one of the Cream Bronzers ($26) in Tan. I love the color and the formula is really good. It doesn’t have the best all-day staying power on my skin type and Florida weather, but it’s nice for a night out or if you have dry skin. For a cream bronzer I still swear by Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream or Rare Beauty Warm Wishes Unassuming Bronze Wand for better formula and wear time, but the Refy Beauty ones aren’t bad.
That concludes my Refy Beauty review! I ordered the Tinted Lip Glosses from Refy Beauty website and some things from Sephora.
