This or That Beauty Featuring Ulta Butter Balm

Ulta Butter Balm

Butter Balm is currently a trending at the drugstore. Everyone from Maybelline to Almay has some sort of liquid balm slash lipgloss hybrid formula at the moment.

So here’s a little this and that beauty featuring Ulta Butter Balm!

Looking for a cheaper alternative to some of the newfangled butter balms that are popping up at the drugstore lately? I quick run through CVS recently revealed how crazily priced some of these products are lately!

Many of these new formulas act as a lip color, stain, and gloss all in one. They have thicker, creamy formulas with a highly glossy shiny and excellent pigmentation. Sort of like a butter slash gloss slash lipstick all in one!

L’Oreal Extraordinaire Lip Color comes in at the most expensive at $9.99 (and in some cases as high as a $11.99 depending where you purchase it). Maybelline Color Elixir creeps up next at $8.99 and in some cases as a high as $10.99 with Almay Color + Care Liquid Lip Balm being more affordable at $5.99!

But the one who really wins this deal at an even cheaper price that NYX’s budget friendly Butter Gloss is the brand new Ulta Butter Balm.

Now I dunno if they are any good but the sweet $4 price makes them a fairly nice budget pick up compared to these other offerings.

Available in ten shades Ulta Butter Balm promises weightless color with a smoother, buttery formula that’s part gloss, part lip balm with the color of a lipstick. They market them as being infused with a mix of vitamins and antioxidants that conditioner lips and give them a baby soft finish!

Sound interesting to you?

These are available at Ulta stores now or online at Ulta.com.

Anyone try them yet?

I’ll have a review upcoming shortly!

Hope they will prove brilliant!

We shall see!

    I’m really looking forward to trying the new Ulta Butter Balms! I think, though, that they’re regularly priced at $8 and are on sale for four? Granted, Ulta puts their line on sale constantly, so no one should EVER pay full price for anything!

    I think I may pick up some of the butter balms from Ulta. But I have the one from Almay, it is very sheer but not buildable. It’s far too dlick. It’s a nice glossy balm thingy.
