In the summer, even the ones where I was still wearing makeup, I've always been a fan of a lightweight, somewhat sheer lip product that provides some colour but doesn't feel too overwhelming, something I can toss in my purse or beach bag and just throw on. There's a freshness to a sheer pink lip that always feels young and effortless, but it can actually be a pretty tricky product to find in a really good formula, but this one has really knocked it out of the park for me. This applies really smooth and creamy and gives a good punch of moisture and nourishment to the lips that sticks around, maybe not as long as a rich balm but definitely quite well. 

The intention of the tri-colour of this product is to concentrate most of the most colour at the center of the lips and then have it fade out towards the edges, and I think this does a really good job of that. There's definitely more pigmentation in the dark pink strip than the lighter pink and the nude, and though it's still quite sheer I do think it has a bit of a staining effect so that the gradient sticks around even after you've mashed your lips together or the shine has faded away. If you don't want the I-just-ate-a-popsicle look to the lips, you can easily just flip the product over and do a second swipe to get and all over pink, but I really do think that the gradient adds a look of fullness to the lips that looks great. 

I have the shade Triple Pink here and, as you can see, it has a really rich berry pink, a very light bubblegum pink, and then a sort of rosy nude shade. Like I said, the two lighter colours are definitely more sparse in pigmentation than the deeper shade, but all three do impart some colour onto the lips. Overall, this is a really cool toned pink shade that I think will work best on people will cooler undertones. For someone with warmer undertones, I would probably say go with the Triple Red or Triple Peach shades.
