REVIEW: ChapStick Lipsations Shimmer


When you see my lip balm collection, I don't think there's any doubting my addiction. There's something so satisfying about throwing a new lip balm into your bag and keeping your lips hydrated throughout the day. And there's something even more satisfying about that lip balm providing a pop of colour and a little bit of shimmer. The original (I think) and the best, ChapStick have released a new range of lip balms; ChapStick Lipsations Shimmer. This new duo aims to provides a combination of "moisture, softness and protection with a beautiful pearlescent shine." These lip balms come in two flavours, Berry* and Tropical* and they have 10 different moisturisers to help keep lips looking healthy and feeling soft. ChapStick also recommend using the lip balms as a top coat to your lipstick to give it an extra shine and radiant. I've been using these for a few days now and I adore them; especially the Tropical taste but tastes like coconut. They're really good at keeping the lips hydrated without leaving behind any nasty residue. They also, of course, taste and smile nice and leave a little sheen on the lips to add something else. You can see from the swatches below how shiny - but not chunky - it leaves your lips.
The lip balms are available from Superdrug and they retail for £1.99. You can also "like" ChapStick on Facebook.
What are your favourite lip balms? Have you tried these out?
