Henne Organics Lip Serum/Balm/Tint ($19-$45)

I surprisingly have a lot to say about these gifted* items from Henne Organics. All of Henne products are made in the US and focuses on making Swedish-inspired minimalistic yet luxurious lip products. Let me first start of saying that I enjoyed all 3 of these products. But whether of not all of them are worth the money in my opinion is another story. This is an important topic because at the end of the day, as a fellow consumer, the relationship between pricing and whether or not you perceive a product as "worth your money" is a difficult one.

*Lip Serum ($45): Throughout the months of using this I felt the most torn about this product, therefore haven't shared much about it until now. $45 is $$$ to me and for a person who is a cheapo and will almost never pay full price, dannnng. I really do enjoy it; it nourishes the lips, the ingredients are awesome, and it does contain a rare oil from the cloudberry plant that can survive harsh conditions. Quality of organic oils can really drive up the price, which is understandable but despite the luxe feel and beautiful blend of awesome organic oils,I can't picture myself spending $45 on this. Lips oils are the best but tbh it's not enough of a gamechanger for me to splurge on something like this!

*Luxury Lip Tint Coral($21): I was never that into pigmented lipsticks or liquid lipsticks so sheer lip balms are totally my jam. I totally think you could pick up something similar for less, but imo $21 is totally justifiable for an organic, on-the-go sheer balm that you'll be using everyday. My absolute favorite lip balms are from Fresh and their lip tints are $24.

*Luxury Lip Balm ($19): I think I was the most disappointed by this one, not because it didn't work to nourish the lips, but because I didn't feel like it was worth $19. It felt like just putting shea butter on the lips, and although there's other oils like coconut, avocado, and jojoba oil, I can't help but feel like most of the cost comes from the weighty packaging and not the formula itself.
