Soap & Paper Factory In The Nude and Moulin Rouge Lip Butter Review and Swatches

PR Sample: Soap & Paper Factory has such a beautiful assortment of products. The first thing I noticed was their super cute the packaging. I can look at their packaging all day. When taking these pictures, I paired them with another smaller beauty brand I love ... Tokyo Milk. I consider them both boutique beauty brands! Just a little background. As the name suggests, Soap & Paper Factory started out making handmade soaps (2001). Their products are made in the USA. They believe in limiting waste and using the most natural ingredients. They also like unique, artful and inspiring packaging. I was sent two of their lip butters $12. These fall under the category of Lip & Cheek Tints on their website. One is called, In The Nude. The other is called Moulin Rouge. They contain NO Parabens, NO Phthalates, NO Animal Testing and are MADE IN THE USA (Congers, New York) Both come in the cutest jar. You won't mind leaving these on your vanity. In The Nude is a pink-peachy color. Moulin Rouge is a berry color. When I swatched these on the back of my hand, In The Nude was transparent and Moulin Rouge remained the berry hue you see in the jar. Both had the same scent. It's a medicine scent to my nose. Very herbal. Earthy. The lip butter itself is hard. I swiped mine with my finger, but you can buy lip applicators to apply these lip butters. They're super lightweight. I like these, but I do not love these. Why Kim? Why? It's the level of moisture (or lack of) that I'm not getting from these that made me give them a bittersweet rating. On the package, it says it's a LIP BUTTER. When I see that, I'm thinking I am getting MAXIMUM HYDRATION. When in actuality I'm only getting light hydration. On their website, these are under the category Lip & Cheek Tints! As TINTS, I give them a sweet rating. I LOVE the color of Moulin Rouge. So I wanted to explain my reasoning. If you get these, you get beautiful & sleek packaging. Beautiful color (Moulin Rouge). Remember In The Nude swatched colorless. YOU GET VERY LIGHT HYDRATION. I see it more as protection (a barrier) if you're in windy conditions. To me, it's more of a cosmetic than a skincare product. Soap & Paper Factory makes bath & body products and home fragrances. I definitely want to try some of their other products. This lip butter also comes in Rose.
