As a self-proclaimed lazy girl, I love a makeup product that is easy to apply, has convenient packaging, and throws in some skincare perks, too. The Crème Shop just launched two new lip products at Ulta that check every box for me, plus come in some seriously adorable packaging. (Psst: if you love bag charms, you’re going to want to keep reading!)
The Kiss & Blush Lip & Cheek Balm and the Shimmer Pop Clip-On Lip Gloss are two lip formulas designed for on-the-go nourishment with a pop of color for good measure. The lip and cheek balm features bag charm-inspired packaging (and it’s literally shaped like a purse), so you can clip it onto your purse or tote straps and reach for it as needed. And the lip gloss is encased in a clip-on compact that you can easily slide onto the back pocket of your jeans or tote for easy access.
The Crème Shop Kiss & Blush Lip & Cheek Balm Review
We love a multi-tasking product! The new Kiss & Blush Lip & Cheek Balm from The Crème Shop is a pigmented salve designed to give a pop of color to your cheeks and your pout. The 2-in-1 lip and cheek tint boasts a blendable formula that allows you to customize the color, whether you want something soft and subtle for a low-key no makeup-makeup day or a bold, full coverage finish.
The balm comes packaged in the cutest purse-shaped bag charm for on-the-go application. It is also formulated with skin-nourishing ingredients such as aloe and squalane, making it easier to adhere to the lips and cheeks for a natural-looking finish. And, it’s available in three different colors, including Watermelon Sugar, Cherry Squeeze, and Berry Milkshake.
Despite the product description, I didn’t expect it to be that pigmented, so I was pleasantly surprised when I swatched all three colors and realized they pack a punch. They have a consistency that melts into the skin and makes it very easy to blend, and the pigment is so good that it has a stain-like effect (especially the darker red hue).
The Crème Shop Shimmer Pop Clip-On Lip Gloss Review
In addition to the Kiss & Blush Lip & Cheek Balm, The Crème Shop just dropped the Shimmer Pop Clip-On Lip Gloss. Similar to the balm, this trio comes in three shades—Gravity Glow, Nude Orbit, and Cosmic Dream—and features a nourishing, glossy balm texture that is non-sticky and formulated with lip-benefiting ingredients like shea butter, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E.
When testing the Cosmic Dream shade (which has a mauve-like pigment), I expected it to have a richer pigment and a higher gloss finish than it actually does. While this might not be ideal for some preferences, I actually loved this since I am a big no-makeup-makeup girly and don’t love the look of an overly glossed pout. So, if you love a little less pigment, this is the product for you.
This clip-on gloss was also super nourishing—like instantly soaked into my parched pout in a way that my actual lip balm does not. I was actually dealing with chapped lips before applying, and they were instantly soothed after application.
