These were first launched in the USA
and I remember waiting for a while for them to arrive in the UK. When they
finally arrived I knew I had to try them out. I waited until they were on offer
at £5.99 and I wanted to pick shades I knew I would wear and because they are
not lipsticks I thought I would be safe to pick up a brighter colour I wouldn’t
usually choose.
The packaging is made of plastic and
has a sort of quilted design on two sides of four and the colour of the
packaging corresponds to the shade it is housing. The base is black plastic,
which has the shade sticker. The cylindrical tube the product is dispensed from
is made of reflective silver plastic. To dispense the product, you pull the
packaging off and twist the base. The butter is slanted in shape and has a flat
base. It is a gel formula with mango, shea and cocoa butter. You get 2.5g of
product in each tube. There are many shades ranging from light to dark, but I
currently only have two.
The two shades I have are Peach Parfait (025), which is a light
nude pink with a golden sheen and Sweet
Tart (090), which is a bright slightly coral hot pink.
This product is supposed to be buttery
in texture so that it glides onto your lips. It should be moisturising and
hydrating, as well as making your lips feel soft and giving them a beautiful
sheer to medium colour and a healthy shine.
First of all, the packaging is lovely
and very practical and you can easily see the different shades. It glides onto
your lips like butter, but it doesn’t give full coverage, so you may be able to
see your natural lip colour through the shade you put on. The colour payoff is
sheer to medium for the beautiful shades and your lips are finished off with a
healthy shine. It does feel like a lip balm when you have applied it to your
lips and it makes them feel soft. It only makes your lips feel moisturised and
hydrated when you are actually wearing it. When the product has worn away the
effects wear away with it. The major plus point is that they are very easy to
build and the brighter the colour, the more vibrant it will look on your lips
after being layered. The lip butters last around three hours on the lips
without food and drink. The brighter colours tend to last a little longer.
Overall this is a great product and it
perfect for people who would like to wear bolder colours on their lips, but
find that lipsticks can be too harsh. The only downside I find is that since it
is a lip butter, you would expect your lips to still feel a bit nourished even
when the colour has worn away, but they don’t, having said that I have already
got my eye on another shade called Berry
Smoothie.
