I know that the “butter” lippy phase has been a pretty popular one lately and from Revlon Lip butters to now NYX’s new line of lippies, they can be found everywhere. A few months ago I picked up the NYX Butter Lip Balm in Panna Cotta and decided I would give it a try. I wasn’t very impressed with the other colors I seen online and since getting new NYX products means ordering online, I decided I would only get one. I was pretty impressed with the NYX Lip Balms I tried last year (review can be found here) and had hoped these would be similar but with a better texture but was surprised with the similarities.
The NYX Butter Lip Balms retail on NYX’s website for $4.00 (not a bad price in my opinion) and there are eight colors available to choose from. Each color offers a sheer to buildable wash of color – though because of its buttery texture, I noticed that the balm was not as buildable in pigmentation as I had expected. In comparison to the regular tinted balms they had last year, these seem to be much more sheer in pigment.

The butter balm feels nice on the lips and applied very easily. If I had to compare, they kind of remind me of very sheer Revlon Lip Butters… the feeling felt the same on my lips but lacked the color payoff that Revlon Lip Butters provided. While my lips felt very moisturized, I did feel the need to reapply the butter lip balm several times through out the day, whereas other Lip balms, I need only apply in the morning or at night. My lips didn’t feel dry – but felt like it was needed to have something added to it through out the day (if that makes any sense).
Overall – I think the price point is pretty okay for the amount of product you are getting and I love the wash of color you get from using this. While it did offer my lips a fair amount of moisture, I felt the constant need to reapply it as needed. I keep my balm in my purse and enjoy that while it gets left in my car sometimes, it hasn’t melted on me, like some butter lipsticks or similar textured products can do. I like the Balm and may purchase another in the future if I feel the need, but it’s not something I would run out to get just because and definitely not a product I will rush out to buy just to collect them all (makeup addict). If you are the type of person that wants something moisturizing on the lips, affordable and offers a nice tint of color – this may be something you like.
THIS PRODUCT WAS SELF-PURCHASED!

these are sooooo nice!
I like this one – I’m on the hunt to try at least one more 😉
Such a pretty color, I will need to try this!
🙂 I think you’ll like it. 🙂
These look very nice. 🙂
considering the price – they are pretty nice 😉
Do you know if these have any SPF to them? I’d like to wear them as my outdoor lip coverage.
I was told they do not have SPF… and I’m wondering if that is the reason why I feel like my lips are moisturized but I need to apply more – because my lips are not protected.
I’ve been wanting this exact shade! It’s hard to find a sealed one at my ULTA lol.
I was told it was the most popular. 🙂
I loooove this lip balm— sooo great for no makeup days but when you want color 🙂
I agree… that’s why I keep it in my purse… I love to use it. 🙂
I am really liking it 😉
It really is a nice product… but I was just telling someone that I think that because it doesn’t have SPF… that may be the reason why I feel the need to constantly apply even if my lips are moisturized. And, yes – the color is nice.
thank you love 🙂
I think you’ll like them 🙂
I am bad with tinted lip balms too – I always have 3 or 4. I just like that I don’t have to worry about not having something to use 🙂
I enjoy it 🙂
I only have one tinted lip balm, and I just don’t reach for it that often. If I want balm, I’m going clear – If I want color, I’m going stick. If I want tinted, then maybe a gloss. Maybe I’m too regimented!! lol
Hmmm… I don’t know why but I pull for lip balms and then lipsticks… gloss is usually last for me. It could be that you are a creature of habit – but nothing is wrong with that 😉
I have a few of these & really like them! I liked their old line too though.
Same 🙂
Very pretty!
It is! 🙂
This looks like a nice product to try. For some reason, I don’t think I’ve seen this yet at Long’s or Walmart
I haven’t seen it at Longs yet and our Walmart doesn’t sell NYX… I had to order this online. Does your longs get the new NYX stuff, mine never does. :/
I’m pretty impressed 🙂
I think you’ll like it.
I think you’ll like it.
our CVS and Walgreens has them, but they don’t bring anything new in… it’s only their standard – older stuff.
oh – if you reviewed, I’m gonna head over and check it out.
I think you will like it. 🙂
Yes – it would!
perfect for every day
it’s a nice one!
