When I was offered the chance to try the new lip butters from Chapstick, I jumped on it! I’ve always kept at least one form of balm in my purse, on my bedside table, in my car, etc. My lips get so incredibly dry, especially in the colder months, and I can’t be without something super moisturizing or I start biting them, even to the point of making them bleed (Yikes!)
I received three Chapstick Lip Butters to test out – Green Tea, Sweet Papaya, and Pink Grapefruit. The Sweet Papaya definitely spoke to me first, as I was craving at the time something fruity but not too citrusy. It has a fairly subtle scent that is slightly sweet and a bit tropical. The Pink Grapefruit is definitely a lot brighter and almost like grapefruit rind versus the fruit itself, but still quite pleasant. The Green Tea is the most subdued scent, just a touch floral and barely there.
The texture is a very luxurious, rich balm that glides on. I especially like it for wearing over stains, my fall-favorite lip product. It hydrates without blurring or smudging the color, which I have often experienced using a lip gloss. It also works great as a prepping product. I’ll put on a bit to soften my lips and plump up the little lines in them before brushing on a perfectly on-trend deep plum or burgundy shade. One thing that really detracts from a dark pout is dry, cracked lips! If you’re interested in trying the new Chapstick Lip Butters, they’re available for just a couple bucks at your local CVS or any other drugstore.
