I should preface this post by saying I am a makeup junkie. More specifically, I am a lip product junkie. I have tried so many products it's unreal. I love trying new things and trying new colors! I saw these Almay lip butters at my local Bed, Bath & Beyond and thought I would give them a try. I absolutely love lip butters as they are easy to put on without really needing a mirror and they provide moisture to the lips. Here is my review on the colors I picked up (yes, I picked up a lot) and I hope you enjoy!
What I've done is swatched all of the colors on my arm together and then I have swatched them on my lips so you can see what they look like on. I did not use a lip liner - I just applied them directly to my lips. Below is a picture of my bare lips so you can see what I started with.
First I will start off with the nude colors. I picked up two of them. Here they are side by side.
1. Nude-Light
2. Nude Light-Medium
Next up are the pink shades. The Pink Light-Medium is the shade Carrie Underwood is wearing in the ad in stores. The picture doesn't do the color justice as it is much brighter in person!
1. Pink-Light
2. Pink-Light Medium
I really thought I had picked up more than one of the berry shades, but it looks like I only grabbed one. I really like this shade and might have to look at the other berry options. Again, the pictures don't do these justice as this is more pigmented in person.
Berry-Light Medium
Last but not least are the red shades. These are probably the most pigmented out of the bunch. If you want a red lip, but you don't want something too intense then these might be a great pick for you.
1. Red-Light
2. Red-Light Medium
Overall, I really like these balms. They have a decent color payoff and and are quite moisturizing. I like that they have different color options and it makes it very easy to find shades for your skin tone. They do have some shimmer to them, so if you don't like shimmer I would stay away. Out of all of them I like the nudes the best. These could easily be thrown into your purse to apply throughout the day. I think the Pink-Light Medium will be a great choice for the summer! These retail for around $5-$6 depending on where you buy them. I would keep an eye out for when Walgreens or CVS does their BOGO on Almay. You can find more information about them on Almay's site here: Almay, Butter Kiss Lipsticks- Almay
Have a great week!
