These colour balms for lips are on a good offer at Boots at the moment (HERE if you are interested) in the ‘buy one get the other half price promo’.
I genuinely like these for the simple fact that they’re not too bright. I’m seeing a lot of lip product right now that is uber-bright and that’s not a look for everyone. Much as I am wowed by ultra brights, I wouldn’t necessarily wear them myself, but with the Rimmel Colour Rush I would.
They’re just all really easy shades to wear – you can build intensity to a certain degree but if you literally just want a quick impression of colour, they’re excellent. Good value, too at £5.99.
They have a little sheen to them as well which is more evident in this picture (the reason I have shadow crossing is because if I’m not quick enough in the morning when the sun is high, I have so many trees in my garden there is not one place of pure light inside the house, instead just dappling.. which I love as a living arrangement – not so much from a photo point of view!).
So the line up is: Drive Me Nude, On Fire, Keep Maldiving, Not an Illusion, The Redder The Better, Rumour Has It, Give Me A Cuddle.

Love the look of the Redder the Better!
I’ve already ordered these a few days ago (the redder the better and I think rumour has it, or not an illusion… I’ve got an awful memory!) I’m quite excited to see them!
I love Lip crayons but I think you are right in that most of them all seem to be bright colours. While I like bright colours sometimes it’s nice just to opt for a netural shade.
I need to try these!

Ooh these look nice! For a quick splash of colour when there’s no time to faff about with liner, lipstick and gloss!

I love the fact that the colours are not bright too. I feel like all my new lipsticks are bright colours.
