Hourglass outer packaging is FSC-certified for Hourglass‘ core products. The cosmetics company, in the fall, the brand revealed that it’s developing all-new sustainablebeautypackaging , including using tin, aluminum and post-consumer recycled plastic.
Furthermore, the metallic gold outer box, has brown writing. Inside, the Phantom Balm comes packaged in a gold, metallic pen. The pen is not, however, retractable. 
Instead,you need to twist the bottom so the product rises up to the black, slanted opening. 
The opening is slanted to allow for a more precise application.
The Call-out ingredients in the Phantom Formula include Menthyl Lactate, that gives your lips an instant cooling sensation. Also included in the formula is a Conditioning Complex, which is a blend of emollients and oils, such as Spinosa Kernel Oil, Mango Seed Butter Oil, Avocado Oil, Shea Butter and Vegetable Oil, that work to nourish, condition and hydrate your lips. The Phantom LIp Balm glides smoothly on your lips, is comfortable to wear without being sticky or tacky, and is pigmented for full-bodied coverage.
The formula is free of Gluten, Phthalates, Parabens, Sulfates, Synthetic Fragrance, And Talc. The Formula is Cruelty Free.
There are 8 shades in the Phantom Balm Collection. I purchased two of the shades.
The shades I didn’t purchase include 145 Entice, a warm fuchsia shade, 155 Lucid, a soft coral, 175 Lure, a deep berry, 115 Mist, a pale pink, 125 Slip, a Light Mauve, and 105 Trace , a beige shade.
The shades I purchased are 135 Haze, a rose shade, and shade 165 Thrill, a bright red shade. All of the shades have a high shine, glossy finish.
Finally, I love the cooling sensation of the Phantom Lip Gloss, and the way the gloss feels cushiony, pillow-soft, on my lips. My lips felt hydrated, and they looked plump and juicy. Also, I love the high shine, glossy finish, which is lighter than lipstick, feels better than a lipstick, and is perfect for the spring/summer season.
