I also think the packaging is a bit of a return to Benefit’s roots – I love it. Each balm is a mini of the full size California Kissin colour balms in shades Spiced Red, Ruby and Berry.

And in the same order in the swatch. The texture is more moisturising lipstick-like than balm and actually I find them too pigmented. If I’d wanted a moisturising lipstick, that’s what I would have got. I expected a more sheer finish from a balm and although it’s juicy looking, it’s not glossy as such. What I’m discovering with my new balms is that the word ‘balm’ is a very moveable feast. However, if you don’t mind more pigment in your lip balm, it’s a great buy – Escentual has it for £16.55 instead of £19.50 HERE.
This is Berry 🙂
