Revolution Organics Freedom Glow Beauty Balm - all 3 shades - swatches, pics, review

Hello, Beautiful!

Back in January I shared with you all five shades of Freedom Gloss from the brand Revolution Organics. I love those glosses and still am getting plenty of uses out of them with my favorite being the shade Truth. In this post I'll share with you all three shades of their Freedom Glow Beauty Balm - which can be used on lips, cheeks, eyes and even the body. Read all the info on this product and my full review after the pics.

My Rating: 4 out of 5 Kisses

The ultimate beauty multi-tasker. 100% natural and created with 85% certified organic ingredients, this beauty multi-tasker delivers an instant healthy glow anytime, anywhere.

The all-in-one balm infuses lips, cheeks, eyes and decolletage with a natural, dewy radiance. Perfectly portable and ideal for on the go, the easy-to-use formula provides skincare and color in one for a hydrating hint of tint. Free of chemicals, synthetics, and artificial ingredients, the balm contains only 100% pure, natural and organic ingredients.

Formulated with cold-pressed organic olive oil and deeply moisturizing organic coconut oil, the all-over beauty balm comes in three glowing shades to complement any skin tone: Blushed, Sunkissed and Bronzed.

I think this formula melts into skin so beautifully; it's soft and easy to blend out and a little goes a long way. The color is well pigmented, so that's why you don't need to use a lot to get the job done. You can use all three shades as a blush, eyeshadow, lip color and body highlight/bronze.

I liked the shade Blush a lot - I think it is a pretty pink that will compliment a lot of skintones for both cheeks and lips. The shade Sunkissed is a peachy coral tone that reads a bit orange - would be pretty on a number of skintones as a blush, also nice for a pop of color on the lips. The shade Bronzed is a bit more brown in tone than bronze in tone, which is the only thing I didn't really care for with this. Still, it can work as a bronzer or darker blush/lip color. You can use these on the eyes, but I don't really like that (unless I put a shadow on top).

Overall, if you're into cream products for cheeks and such, then you may really love these. I'm not a huge cream blush user, so I didn't use these as much as I thought I would. I'd still recommend these because they are what they like to say, guilt-free beauty products, and they are really good quality too.

Revolution Organics Freedom Gloss - all 5 shades - pics, swatches, review

Hello, Beautiful!

I first heard about the brand Revolution Organics through Birchbox, after receiving a sample of their Freedom Glow (which I'll review all four shades they offer in the coming weeks). In this post I'll show you the Revolution Organics Freedom Gloss - which is available in 5 sheer shades (all shades shown below). Formulated with 100% natural and 85% certified organic ingredients. They ensure their products meet USDA standards to ensure the highest level of organic integrity. These glosses come in very wearable shades, with Truth being my favorite. Let me know what shade you like best!

This healthy, good-for-you gloss is rich in vitamins and antioxidants to leave lips beautifully moisturized and gorgeously glossy. Formulated with 100% natural and 85% certified organic ingredients, the product delivers all the benefits of a lip treatment in a gorgeous gloss.

The formula is free of chemicals, mineral oil, petroleum, artificial ingredients, and parabens. Instead, Freedom Gloss uses organic plant proteins and extracts to give lips a healthy dose of antioxidants and vitamins. Vitamin-rich organic jojoba oil nourishes and conditions, while organic shea butter hydrates and moisturizes. Organic aloe vera and olive oil soothe and soften as organic beeswax protects skin.

Packaged in recyclable, biodegradable, eco-chic material.

This lip gloss goes on incredibly smooth and feels very comfortable on your lips. It gave my lips a pretty sheer wash of color with subtle shimmer and plenty of shine.

Out of all the shades, my favorite is Truth. It's so pretty on the lips; the perfect pink! Honestly, they're all very wearable shades since they are sheer. The two lightest shades, Innocent and Integrity, look very similar on my lips with the only real notable difference being that Integrity has more shimmer and is warmer in tone. It could show up different on your lips, showing a great difference in the two shades, depending on your natural lip tone. The shade Vibe is a great caramel nude, while Freedom is a sheer wearable red. You can build up the color on these depending on how much you apply, but I personally prefer their sheer tone (although I think the shade Freedom would look best built up a bit).

Everything about these glosses seem to be wonderful, but I did note that there was an off taste... which I could only describe as a hint of cardboard. It didn't really bother me all too much, and wasn't that noticeable after application. It could possibly be from the way they are packaged (in the eco-friendly recyclable and biodegradable tubes), but I can't say for sure if that's the reason for the cardboard-ish taste or maybe it's just in the natural formula. But again, it's really not all that bad to me and I have no issues using these.

Overall, I was really impressed with these glosses and love that they're made with good-for-you ingredients. I'd definitely recommend checking these out - especially the shade Truth!
