CoverGirl "Blush Twist" Jumbo Gloss Balm Swatch + Review

In the past I've said some pretty harsh things about a few of the colors in this range. Need proof? Just check out my reviews for the shades "Ballet Twist" and "Coral Twist" and "Watermelon Twist". But this particular color has me swooning. It would be a wonderful addition to a lot of women's everyday makeup bag.

"Blush Twist" is a soft, delicate, baby pink. Like all of the Jumbo Gloss Balms I've tried, the color swatched on the skin doesn't quite match the color in the tube or on the cap. It isn't glossy (the finish is more akin to a satin or lustre) and I wouldn't recommend using this product to replace your lip balm...I still love it. The formulation isn't very pigmented but it applies smoothly and easily to the lips. It is just an effortless product.

For the last week this product has been a staple in my purse.This is something that I can apply without thinking and I don't have to worry about what it'll look like as it fades. Unfortunately, it does not have the best lasting power (somewhere around one hour). It is something to wear when you have time for touch up--so I probably wouldn't wear it if I knew I was going to have a long day at school or work. In conclusion, not all of the colors from this range are fantastic but this one is better than others.
