If you're a regular reader of my blog then you know that I absolutely adore lip balms and they definitely take up a massive amount of space in my make up drawer at university. I always, always have one on me whether I'm just popping to the shop or going out on a night out. So obviously when I was offered to try out Blistex's brand new Lip Brilliance in Blushing, I jumped at the chance.
This lip balm nourishes the lips as well as the other Blistex products do however, it has a hint of colour - a beautiful, shimmery pink. It's perfect for wearing on its own for a toned down look or for added shine and another dimension on top of lipsticks. It also contains SPF15 to protect the lips against nasty sun damage and boosts lips fullness.
As you can see from the swatch above, the lip balm is a beautiful, girly pink colour with a hint of silver sheen. The 'glitter' in this product isn't chunky and you can't feel it on your lips. Also, a big must have for me when choosing my lip balm is the taste - you don't want to be putting anything that tastes vile on your lips, do you? Well this lip balm tastes lovely.. I'm really useless at describing tastes but it kind of reminds me of Lush's Bubblegum Lipscrub - not exactly the same taste but along those lines.
So if you're a fan of lipbalms or you're looking for a new colour to add to your lips then this is one for you. It's perfect in every way. And it's available now at Boots for just £2.49!
