The latest from Fresh is a new sheer hot pink lip tint called Sugar Tulip ($22.50 for 4.4g/0.15 oz). It’s currently a Sephora VIB Online Exclusive (one of the perks is early access). I just hit the VIB level a couple weeks ago so this was perfect timing for me. If you’re not a VIB, Sugar Tulip is also available in this new Flower Power Kit (on my wishlist even though I just bought the Tulip, I’ll pass along the extra one to my mom).
For those new to Fresh Lip Treatments, there are 9 tinted shades and one clear option. They all have a blend of oils, including meadow foam seed, black currant seed, avocado, and jojoba. They also have SPF 15 and have a sugary sweet lemon scent. These feel fresh and lush on my super sensitive lips and hydrate well.

Sugar Tulip is a gorgeous cool pink. I’ve had several Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments in the mini sizes over the years. I also adore the Fresh Sugar Honey shade although I don’t use these as frequently as I’d like to because of the super soft texture. I’m one of those women who is extra gentle with her makeup products and I take care of my items, but these are still on the soft side. Sometimes I stick them in the fridge for a couple minutes before applying on my lips. Color and pigment varies per shade, some I’ve found to be sheer and glossy while others have full coverage. Sugar Tulip falls somewhere in between. It’s not as rich in coverage as Sugar Honey but not as sheer as Sugar Rose. You can layer it for more coverage but I find it to be semi-sheer. The color adheres better to the lips versus a hand or arm swatch.

Compared to the Sugar Petal and Sugar Rose, Sugar Tulip has a lot more blue and fuchsia in the color. I’ve swatched them side by side and also added lip swatches for reference on how they look on the lips. (Minis shown below from holiday sets that I stocked up on.)

Overall love. It is on the soft side but mine hasn’t broken at the base yet (keeping fingers crossed). If you’re looking for a sheer hot pink that is super moisturizing, Sugar Tulip is a good option.
Currently available at Sephora, VIBs have early access for the individual shade. It’s also part of the Flower Power Kit.
Do you have any favorites from Fresh? I just got a sample of the Lotus Face cream from a recent Sephora visit that I’m testing out. Would love to hear about your thoughts and recommendations on anything from the line 🙂

I'm so gonna get this! the color is gorgeous 🙂
I can't wait to try Tulip! I absolutely love the Fresh brand and use most of their products. i have had great experiences with other Fresh Sugar Lip products so I know this won't disappoint. Tulip looks so pretty on you! Thanks for sharing!
It looks like such a beautiful stain on your lips! To be honest I've never paid much attention to Fresh products just because I don't find much interest in them. Aside from the brown sugar lip scrub that I love, I don't own anything from the line.
I tried this brand when they were a Sephora gift a while ago! I definitely want to use it again!

Beautiful colors, they both look so fresh. I really like the way you photograph beauty products, I love tulips.
I love fresh! Beautiful brand and this balm is just too good to be true.

I have heard so many good things about these three lip products! The Tulip shade is pretty but my favourite has defiantly got to be Sugar Petal shade, that is gorgeous! 🙂

I had those as the complimentary birthday gift from Sephora… but I can't find where I put them 🙁
I am a long time fan of Fresh. I just ordered the Tulip lip treatment because blue reds look good on me and I already have all the other colors, so why not : )
In addition to the lip treatments I also love their lip glosses (especially Flirt,) cleansers, masks, toners, and perfumes. I also love their shampoos and conditioners, even though they discontinued my favorite shampoo (Milk and Rose) sometime ago and I haven't found a good replacement yet.
I'm not that crazy about their lotions though, usually too thin for me.
Their holiday gift sets are awesome. And you won't get better service than at the South Coast Plaza store.
I don't work for Fresh, just a loyal fan.
Hi Sabrina,
What a gorgeous shade! I'm surprised at how pigmented FRESH Sugar Tulip is — did not expect that from a balm 🙂
This color is gorgeous! I can't wait to try it!
What a beautiful color! Sheer Rose is my favorite… I saw the email sent for Sephora VIBs and now I'm thinking I should really kick it into gear and buy it!
