This retails for around $5.00 at your local drugstores where you can find a handful of colors. Yet, On Rimmel's website here you can find a total of fourteen different shades. At my local Target I could only find six, unfortunately.
Rimmel claims that these balms are long lasting and will give you an intense color payoff. Just as you would expect from a balm, they also say that these will give you a surge of long lasting moisture.

No matter what I tired, the camera showed the packaging of this product orange, when in reality, the packaging is a mauve color.
I like how this twists up just like any other chubby lip pencil, because you do not have to sharpen this sucker! Seriously, it is so hard for me to find a beauty sharpener big enough to sharpen some of my other lip pencil lipsticks. So, I am all for twist ups!

Yet, once again, the photo above where it shows the tip of the balm up close, it is photographing ORANGE! The picture above that one shows the product and packaging more true to color, a mauve.
There is a subtle sugary scent to this balm, but it is not overwhelming strong at all. You can't really smell it unless you purposefully put it up to your nose to give it a smell test. After it is applied, you can't even notice the scent, that is how faint it is.

This is definitely a glossy product and gives your lips a beautiful shine. When it is applied, the texture feels more waxy and doesn't glide across the lips with as much smoothness as some balms that are out there. Yet, the moisture is apparent and it leaves my lips feeling moisturized and smooth, which is what I want from a balm product.

I will say that for this particular shade, I did not see a lot of pigmentation. It seemed to add a subtle amount of color to my lips, but I was expecting more of a color saturation, because part of the name of the balm says, "...Intense Colour...". I will confess, even though it is a subtle amount of color, it is pretty for a natural look!

After the glossiness and shine wears off as the day goes on, there is still a hint of color left to the lips, which is nice! I never felt as if I had to apply more or apply a different balm for more moisture, because my lips still felt soft and hydrated. I love how this did not dry out my lips!
Overall, this was a nice lip balm and applied easily with no fuss. I like this for those days when I want a natural looking lip with a hint of color added to my look. I would definitely purchase more in different shades to see what their color payoff is, because I love how moisturizing this color balm leaves my lips through out the day!
I highly recommend that you try these out!
Have A Wonderful Day!
