"The most viral one is Rhode. I bought this because I already have so many transparent lip balms and I'm done with that, I wanted a little more deep color, so I got it in the salted caramel color, but it still looked like no color on me. I love the packaging though, you can put it in your phone case, so trendy, I love it as a Pinterest girl. I wanted to give it an S but the color payoff was a lot less than I expected, though it's very very moisturizing, so I'm going to give it an A."

"Rhode's peptide lip tints used to be my absolute favorite lip product, [...] but for at least a year or longer now they've been so grainy. [...] On paper and at launch they were iconic, with peptides, babassu and shea butter, [...] but the shea butter [...] has started to crystallize. When the brand finally released a statement they said you just need to warm it up, so people are basically boiling their lip balms. I'm not a chemist, when I buy a lip balm I want it to be a lip balm, [...] and these aren't cheap. [...] It's been years now, Rhode, please fix the problem."
