Hello gorgeous ladies,
Are you a lip balm lover? Yes? Then, this post is for you girl! The product that I am going to review is not a new product, in fact, it’s a lip balm that was launched quite some time ago and received all the love! The product that I am talking about is NYX Butter Lip Balm in Biscotti. Let’s get started!

My Experience with NYX Biscotti Butter Lip Balm:
Packaging: The packaging of this lip balm is definitely cute and practical. The tube in which the lip balm is placed is a light brown tube, somewhat the color of biscuit! The balm comes in a usual twist-up mechanism container as most lip balms and the tube is colour coded to the color of the lip balm. The cap shuts with a secure click sound which is a big yay for a product that you want to throw in your purse on the go.
Color and Pigmentation: The color payoff is fairly sheer but you can still get a nice hint of color. Biscotti, is a light n*de shade, and does not show up well on my lips, but still gives them a fair flush of a MLBB tint. I think they swatch considerably less pigmented than they actually appear on lips.
Texture: This is lightly hydrating with a thin, balmy consistency that wears comfortably on the lips. They feel very lightweight, smooth and slick as you’re applying them and feel nice on the lips at first. The texture is not too creamy to slide off the lips, but just perfect! This balm applies very smoothly and I’d say the texture is very close to Maybelline Baby Lips formula, but a bit thinner and they have a slight sheen finish.
Smell: The smell of this lip balm is sweet and fruity. The flavour is pretty light and subtle yet tastes sweet which I appreciate as I hate lip balms that smell and taste horrible.
Longevity: I wouldn’t say I got four hours of moisture from this balm, but I wouldn’t say it isn’t hydrating either. The moisture factor is pretty light here, so if you have super dry lips, it might not be an ideal pick for you, also if you’re depending on them for long-term hydration and moisture retention. I wouldn’t say that it actually dries out my lips, but it just doesn’t leave a lasting moisturizing effect. Compared to the Maybelline Baby Lips, I think that these NYX butter lip balms are slightly less hydrating.

Would I Recommend/Repurchase NYX Biscotti Butter Lip Balm?
I tend to reapply lip balm throughout the day because I have dry lips and also because I am kind of lazy at reapplying my lipstick once it wears off. So, I like to keep a tinted balm handy to give my lips a little hydration as well as color which is one reason these lip balms from NYX can come in handy. If you are someone like me, you’ll definitely enjoy this cute lil’ lip balm. Go get it ladies, at such an affordable price, a cute lip balm won’t hurt!
