Ulta Butter Balm

Ulta Butter Balm is on sale this with for Buy 2, Get 2 at $8 each. I actually purchased a few of these earlier in December and really loved them so now that they are on sale it’s time to go in for a repurchase of other shades!

Although short wearing, Ulta Butter Balm is one of those beautiful treats for drier lips as the formula is so delightfully hydrating.

Take a look!

Ulta Butter Balm comes housed in a clear chubby little tube (0.13 oz) and is available in 10 shades. This promise a mix soft texture and a glossy shine that make lips as supple as a baby’s.

I’m one of those people that likes to lick, chew, and bite at my lips! This is especially a bad habit in the cold so you can imagine how dry, cracked, and flaky my lips get. I’m always looking for hydrating balms or glosses and lipsticks that will look smooth on my cracked lips. Ulta Butter Balm is one of those great products that should make dry lipped folks very happy.

Ulta Butter Balm Swatches (Ariel and Rapunzel)

These have a straight sponge applicator that applies and builds color very, very well. The formula is thin yet creamy and buttery! It feels like they melted down a lip butter and poured it into a tube. It applies flawlessly, with a slick, easy glide that has a smooth, shiny plush finish on my drier lips.

Two of the shades I purchased had fairly nice pigmentation and applied decently opaque so my true lip color was not showing through. I love how they look on as they have a really shiny finish with a plushy kinda feel. The wear is very comfortable as these aren’t sticky or tacky in the least. The formula feels very, very moist, soothing and hydrating on my lips. Beware though as these like to migrate a bit on the lower lip area and they don’t wear very long at around 1 to 2 hours.

If you don’t mind the shorter wear, Ulta Butter Balm are a nice pick up for those with drier lips that want shine, color, and something that’s moist and hydrating! This formula is really a treat for those with drier lips! I just wish there were a little longer wearing!

Ulta Butter Balm are available now at Ulta and Ulta.com.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.
