In photos below L-R: Peach Parfait, Cotton Candy, Candy Apple.
I love the packaging of these, they look sleek and stylish but also with a pop of colour which represents what is in the tube and I also love that the top of the tubes are clear so you can see what's inside!
I don't think these are meant to have fantastic colour pay off as they are so creamy however the red shade "Candy Apple" can be built up to be a very pigmented red.
025 Peach Parfait
Apologies for my face/hair/outfit, the weather is miserable today!!
Peach Parfait was the first lip butter I bought and is a shimmery and glittery nudeish peach colour. Of all the colours I have, this is the most glittery so if you don't like glittery lip products stay away from this shade!
045 Cotton Candy
Cotton candy is a shimmery (though not as much as Peach Parfait!) light blue toned pink. The colour is build-able from sheer to a fairly decent coat of baby pink colour on the lips.
035 Candy Apple
Candy Apple is my most recent purchase. I chose this colour as I had been wanting to try out a red lip again but didn't want my lips to feel dried out. This colour is definitely build-able to a bright red colour but can also be applied more sheer. I find that this is the only lip butter I would need to use a mirror to apply as this is the most pigmented of the 3 I own.
Pros
- Very moisturising
- Build-able colour
- Good colour range
Cons
- Too expensive for a tinted lip balm (especially in the lighter shades, the red I think can be justified)
- Some shades are very glittery
- Stay power could be better
- Some shades are very sheer
Overall, I would recommend these if you don't mind topping up your lip colour throughout the day and are looking for a moisturising lip product with build-able colour. If you want staying power, there are better lip sticks and lip stains than these products.
Thanks for reading!

I really want the creme brulee lip butter but you're right they are expensive!

They're on offer in Superdrug atm for £5.99! Helps the price issue slightly :) xo
DeleteI really want to get my hands on the Creme Brulee and Candy Apple, but they are ALWAYS sold out at my local Superdrug/Boots. I can't believe they're still so high in demand!

I'm always uncertain about ordering makeup online in case it gets damaged in the post. Do you know what Superdrug's delivery service is like?
