I absolutely adore the minimalist packacking this gloss has. Its so sleek and very well made. The color is perfect for blends or just wearing alone. There is no scent or taste although it does have a soft of minty feel to the gloss that plumps the lips. Try it!

Roen’s take on balm is anything but basic. Charlie is a warm, earthy red that applies like a gloss but feels like skincare—hydrating, silky, and never tacky. The pigment is soft enough for daytime yet bold enough to dress up with liner. The texture is lightweight and moisturizing, hugging lips without settling or feathering. It’s comfort first, but the color payoff gives it that editorial edge Roen is known for. This is the lip you swipe on when you want polish without effort—hydration, pigment, and a little attitude all in one.

4.5 stars rounded up. I am really surprised at how nice this balm is. It leaves a pretty shine without being sticky at all, and stays on for hours. It does a really great job moisturizing my lips. I also really like the applicator and minty scent.
