And that's what I did when a couple of these landed on my doorstep last week...
The coloured variants were nice, but the shade that really stood out was the one called 'my pink', a shade that adapts to your lips... nothing new in theory, but the formulation, scent and performance of this balm really blew me away.
It's super smooth and really soothing on the lips. It has a sweet, candy scent that I fell in love with instantly, and the shade really does show up on the lips. On me it's quite a deep, glossy, translucent-looking pink. I was instantly obsessed and have been using it almost every day since.
I also love the fact that the packaging isn't identical to all the other lip crayons out there... it's definitely sleeker. I love the gold caps. These balms are available now, priced at £18 each.
Colour looks lovely, I got a rimmel one last week, its lovely but I do find them a little drying :-)
ReplyDeleteThese look incredible! I love your reviews Fleur, always so honest and real :) you are one of the people who's blogs have inspired me to start my own (endlessattraction.com), and I love that you have always stayed true to your own style of writing and products, even when you've been given things! xx
ReplyDeleteThe packaging looks stunning and it's really flattering on your lips. I like it because it makes a difference but it's not in your face! On a side note, i've just popped up a new vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6ubtpXm194
ReplyDeleteThanks Fleur! x x
This looks gorgeous, I've also got so bored of the lip crayons (matte, glossy, whatever, it's just a new way of packaging a lipstick right?!) but if you say this one is worth checking out, I'll trust your judgment! xxx

The colour is absolutely beautiful - I think that this is perfect for everyday. The packaging is wonderful - I love the fact that it is a little different to the other lip crayons out there.

Ok definitely picking this up haha. I seem to never have enough soft pink lip products and this looks quite similar to the baby lips lip balm by Maybelline?

Color looks great! I'm also a bit bored by the crayon trend - but then again always excited when I see a new version. It's a love-hate thing I guess!

I love the tarte version of this! It's called "energy" and it's the perfect your-lips-but-better color, with a slight sheen. Plus is smells minty fresh. I always have it in my purse now!

I know what you mean by being bored with the lip crayon trend since new ones keep popping up from all brands drugstore and high-end! This looks like it would smell nice though so I'll definitely keep an eye out next time I'm by a Clarin's counter!

The lip colour trend is admittedly a bit played out at this stage. But this crayon looks gorgeous and hydrating :)

That shade is great. Really subtle but totally daytime wearable when you don't wanna go crazy with colour!

Definitely gonna try this product!

Looks great!!
ReplyDeleteI just started blogging and would love some of you guys to check me out :)
GORGEOUS, absolutely GORGEOUS shade of pink!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love! I'm the same when i see a new lip crayon come out I naturally sigh they are mostly packed with glitter or so bold and matte that you would have to be very brave to wear. But from these swatches they look nice and glossy and give the right amount of color. Defiantly the next buy are all the other shades as glossy?
ReplyDeleteDreamoftraveling.com
These look so good on the lips! I feel the same with the lip crayon trend, seems to be that everyone has jumped on the band wagon.

You roll your eyes when brands send you free stuff? That comment left a bad taste in my mouth for sure.
ReplyDeleteThese look so good, and different to all the others i've seen around. I agree with your opinion on the packaging, looks very posh and sleek

I love the color, it looks really nice and sweet!
ReplyDeleteSometimes lip crayons don't really apply well onto my lips unless I've really exfoliated them before! May give this one a try though, the colour is gorgeous! Beth | Bethy-T x

I'm with you about being over the lip crayon epidemic. I haven't even found one that's been that great anyway. This is a nice shade on you!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty shade ... will surely try this one .http://beautyndbest.com/
ReplyDeleteThis post is so good, I have a lip crayon and it is amazing! Your colour is so fresh and pretty for summer I might have to rush out and buy it! Love your blog! www.bloglovin.com/annalily xo
ReplyDeleteI really like that shade, have you tried the Tarte one? That one is suppose to adapt to your lip color as well, just wondering if you were able to compare the two. That would be interesting because this one looks a bit more glossy than the Tarte.

Oooh I really like the idea of this one, may have to invest in 'my pink' this sunday at the Trafford Centre :)
ReplyDeleteAh, i'm utterly devastated. My husband took it upon himself to throw out some stuff I had lying about the bedroom. In one particular bag he picked up without looking in it!! (who does that). Was last weeks Boots haul which included two of these Clarins Lip Balm Crayons.. gutted , will have to go repurchase. This shade looks perfect for you. But then you always look flawless. Love Laura, Scotland. A Scottish Lass ❤️
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the Dior Addict Lip glow - which I also luuuurv..but looks more peach on me. Love chubby stick packaging for almost anything but this one looks so pretty I could almost eat it!! Very pretty colour on you!
