They're really moisturising which makes them easy to wear, and the pigmentation is much better than I expected from a lip balm type product. I also really love the packaging- the self-coloured lids are not only pretty but they help me grab the right colour when I'm in a rush too.
The colours I have from left to right are Cotton Candy, Sweet Tart, Lollipop and Creme Brulee.
I love everything about these lip butters and I'm going to buy some more colours when they're next on offer in Boots.
Cotton Candy - a pale pink - is very pale on me, but it works well over lipsticks so I am still getting lots of use from it.
My favourite is the one I didn't originally intend to buy - sweet tart - a warm almost coral pink. It's been my go to every day colour lately and again is great layered over lipsticks too.
Lollipop is just what I expected from seeing other people's swatches - it's such a rich bright cool pink shade - amazing for a lip balm type product. The staying power of this one is pretty amazing too - I get a good few hours from it.
Creme Brulee is my disappointment - it's a very pale nude colour and too subtle on my lips for my liking. But, I have been wearing it over some nude lipsticks to give the colour a bit more of a pop, as I do love the texture formula.
Next on my shopping list are Strawberry Shortcake - another pink shade, and peach parfait - a peach unsurprisingly!
You can get these from Boots for £7.99 but they sometimes have offers like two for £10 or 3 for 2.
Have you tried these? Which colour is your fave?
Sweet Tart is one of my favourites too, but Raspberry Pie tops it for me!

Thanks hun, I'll check that one out xx
DeleteThe texture of these is so worth it. They ARE like butter! I was surprised at how sheer they are, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteI know, so lovely! I'm a little worried about how they'll hold up in Summer if we get hot weather though!
DeleteThese are gorgeous!!! Been wondering whether to get them or not but I think I will now!
ReplyDeleteLet me know which colours you get xx

DeleteGreat review, your pictures are brilliant! I really like the look of Peach Parfait, so when I get round to trying these lip butters (might wait for an offer!) that's definitely the shade I'll be buying! x
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI have Creme Brulee and it was a little disappointing probably cause it was such a light colour it doesnt seem to stay on for that long! xx
ReplyDeleteSame here - not bad over a nude lippie though xx
DeleteI really love these, I have peach parfait and cotton candy, but think I will have to get sweet tart too after reading this!
