Here are two more Jouer Essential Lip Enhancer Shine Balms, Peony and Rose, with Rose being from a Lip Care Duo along with the original Essential Lip Enhancer in the squeeze tube.

Lip Care Duo
To my surprise, despite the same lovely formula, I didn't love either of these. First of all, both colors were way off, IMHO. I don't know about you, but when I see peony, I think pink. Same with rose. With these peony and rose, I instead got apricot and peach. Like, huh? I seriously thought both of these tubes were mislabeled somehow. Secondly, unlike the previous three Shine Balms I have that were deliciously translucent, these have white base. Yes, white base. Urgh. Yep, you guessed it--I stopped buying more colors.
- Peony: swatched an apricot on the back of my hand but applied a pale coral on my lips. This one has white base and made me look absolutely ridiculous. I tried it once and passed it right over to mum-in-law.
- Rose: swatched peached on the back of my hand but applied with some nude on my lips. This one has less white base than peony but I still didn't love it, so I passed it on as well.
You can actually see the white base in the peony swatch. Urgh.
