Beautiful bottle, beautiful fragrance...

No7 BB Lips in Blink Pink

No7 have expanded the BB bandwagon with their new BB Lips Beauty Balms.
I have to confess that aside from skincare, i rarely venture towards the No7 stands unless I have one of Boots' infamous vouchers and this is no exception . I find that many products are expensive for what they are in comparison to other drugstore brands.

The BB lips comes in shades ranging from neutral to red. I was deliberating between a coral and a pink and in the end i plumped for 'Blink Pink'.

The balm is a non glittery and natural pink when applied. The colour payoff is minimal when blended out but it does enhance the natural lip colour with a nice glossy shine. The formula feels moisturising and smooth and offers an SPF of 15. It lasts no longer than any normal gloss but it wasn't too quick to disappear.

I'm not sure I would be willing to use this instead of a more pigmented gloss but it makes a nice alternative to a regular balm.
I don't feel any desire to explore other shades either as personally I prefer a but more colour pigmentation.

The BB lips range is £8.50 from Boots but I purchased mine for £5.50 with a voucher.
