REVIEW: Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm in Pixi Pink, £8

Standard

THE TRUTH:  Smells of your childhood, more specifically Swizzels Lip Sticks (now sold as Loveheart Lipsticks) and candy necklaces. The bright bubblegum pink colour comes from a similar childhood past.

The balm is fairly pigmented and the colour isn’t natural, so you can only really put a light sweep on unless you want bright pink lips. The colour is also a bit light for Oriental skintones, but if you do apply the lightest sweep, it gives a pleasant matte pastel flush when combined with the right makeup can make for a pleasingly fresh look. It’s just about passably moisturisingly but we’d expect more from £8 especially Pixi.

Pros: Overall usable
Cons:  Not conditioning, price

SCORE:  2.5 out of 5
