Covergirl lipperfection jumbo gloss balm

My first product review! I picked up three of these covergirl jumbo gloss balms at my local Walmart. They were $6.94, much cheaper than at CVS. Little fact I learned this weekend, you CAN return used cosmetics to Walmart as long as you still have to receipt! For years I thought they would not accept them so I was glad to hear that I could return the color 205 "ballet twist". I did not swatch it but I will tell you why I did not care for it. The color appeared very satin-y when applied to my lips. I prefer a matte or slight glossy finish in my lip products, I just can't do satin.

The three colors I do have swatched are 210 "blush twist, 215 "watermelon twist" and 235 "coral twist". I love the formula of these gloss balm. I get great color payoff from the watermelon and coral twist. I do not love the blush twist, I might exchange it. The color gives off a slight satin finish similar to the "ballet twist". I'm not a lipstick gal, mostly because I can't really wear it on a daily basis. I go to college so I am going to class ever day. Wearing lipstick is a little too much so I prefer something I little more casual and easy to apply, something I can throw in my backpack and apply without a mirror if need be. So, without further adieux here are swatches of the three colors I own and a picture of the packaging. The only problem I have with the packaging is that they do not include the name of the color on the bottom, just the number. I find it easier to remember a name instead of a number when I am looking to repurchase the color. So a word of advise, remember the name of the color you are purchasing!


From top the bottom, 210 "blush twist", 215 "watermelon twist", and 235 "coral twist". I know I am not the best photographer but I'm working on it! 


Here is a picture of the packing, this is in 235 "coral twist".
