CoverGirl Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balm in Blush Twist, Cupcake Twist and Coral Twist

Are gloss/stain/balm lip crayons still a thing? The CoverGirl Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balms ($7.99) in Blush Twist, Cupcake Twist, and Coral Twist are three more of those. The Balms are available in 16 colours, all glossy with varying degrees of pigmentation and shimmer particles. 

Blush Twist (medium pink with gold shimmer)

Cupcake Twist (warm pink with gold shimmer)

Coral Twist (sheer orange coral)

CoverGirl's rendition of the jumbo lip crayon is quite sheer with a gloss-like sheen. It's not vinyl, just a natural looking shine. They're just a lipstick/lip gloss hybrid with no staining properties, as the product lasts a decent 3 hours on the lips. 

It's important to note that the CoverGirl Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balms are no consistent shade-to-shade. The shades with shimmer particles pull slightly at my lips. I'm not a fan of Blush Twist or Cupcake Twist, as they both contain shimmer that catches onto dry areas and seeps into the lines of my lips. Coral Twist is more my speed. There's no glitters in sight and it smooths over the lips nicely. 

If you're in the market for yet another gloss/crayon thing, then consider the CoverGirl Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balms a viable option (just avoid the ones with glitter/shimmer).
