Charlotte Tilbury Crystal Happikiss, Enchanting Kiss, Happipetal Happikiss Lipstick Balms Review & Swatches

Formula Overview

$34.00/0.08 oz. - $425.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be hydrating and help lips look smoother while having a "high-shine finish with medium coverage." It had a denser, thicker consistency with light tackiness that didn't feel heavy, but it was thicker than most lip product son the market. The shades tended to have mostly opaque to opaque color coverage rather than "medium coverage."

The finish was exceptionally shiny, and it did give the illusion of plumper lips. Whether the product looked smoothing depended on the shade as some were more flattering to wear than others. They lasted between three and five hours, were hydrating, and didn't feather/bleed on me despite being a creamier, more emollient consistency; they seemed to adhere better than a true lip balm, but they were still comfortable to wear. The formula had a subtle, sweet vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Worth noting, the packaging used thinner plastic and was much lighter-weight (to the point of feeling a little flimsy) compared to other Charlotte Tilbury lip products. It also has a clicking, twist-up mechanism that doesn't lalow for the product to be twist back into the tube, so take care when twisting product out for use. I'm guessing that the more balm-like formula needed that type of mechanism in order not to break at the base.
