Essence Backflip Lip Balm – Review, Swatches & Photos

by Tavia

Hello sweeties!

Essence Backflip Lip Balm is a new shade released this month as part of Essence Ice Ice Baby Collection (info & photo). A few days ago I gave you a preview with some of the products I got from this collection and the new Essence Ice Ice Baby Lip Balm in #01 Backflip has quickly become my favorite lip balm.

Availability

International Launch Date – Now until end February 2014 exclusive to the following countries: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Kuwait, Palestine, Bolivia, and Chile.

Essence Backflip Lip Balm (€1.29 for 0.14 oz/ 4 g) is a soft baby pink shade with a delicate touch of raspberry and a cool tone. It comes in a pink tube with a transparent case on top, so you can easily see the color through it. It has a sweet fruity smell, something similar with raspberry and strawberries but it tasteless.

The color is absolutely gorgeous, it looks lovely on me as a light skin tone but I can see it on medium and darker shades as well. It is applied easily and evenly across the lips, ensuring velvety and soft lips. The color offers an opaque color coverage and a glossy finish, making lips look fuller.

Essence Backflip Lip Balm feels so lightweight and comfortable, without being sticky, keeping the lips hydrated and moisturized. Sometimes I noticed it has the tendency of settling into lip lines but because of the glossy finish is not so obvious.

I’m really liking this shade and I’ve been wearing it often in the last couple of days. I have around 5 hours wear with this formula before I feel like I need to reapply and even after I have a meal or a drink the color resist on the lips but is not that intense. This lip balm stains the lips a little bit and after the color and shine disappears it remains a soft and evenly pink raspberry color.

It’s so interesting to see the new essence collections & LE. In certain areas of the US, it is almost impossible to get essence LEs. However, Ulta is doing a buy one get one 50% off to make way for the new spring products. I just bought 2 of the regular Kiss Care lip balms. Love the look of your Ice Ice Baby, so pretty!

I got this lip balm from a friend in Germany as the LE collections don’t get here. I’m really happy to have chosen this lip balm as it is really good, moisturizing, hydrating and also in a sweet pink color. 🙂
