Covergirl Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balms are “chubby crayon” style lip pencils. I was hoping these lip crayons would be a good budget friendly alternative to the much raved about Clinique Chubby Sticks but they didn’t fail to disappoint. The finish of these lip crayons is a healthy, creamy finish I wouldn’t class these as a gloss, as moisturising the finish looks I also found these dried out my lips. These lip crayons also clung to ever tiny little dry patch on my lips and accentuated them so in order for me to wear these my lips have to be 100% flake free and in perfect condition. There are some beautiful shades available but they do lack on the pigmentation front. The staying power of these is average and I really wasn’t a fan of the heavy chemical scent. Overall I really wanted to like these but they disappointed me, the only thing they have going for them is the price and some pretty shades but at the end of the day I prefer the Bourjois Color Boost Lip Crayons

205 Ballet Twist is a pale pink shade with a hint of shimmer. This shade is my least favourite out of the range as it had a tendency to apply unevenly and seriously clung to and accentuated dry patches on the lips.
210 Blush Twist is a pretty, light pink nude shade with no shimmer. This shade is perfect for those with light lips/light skin.
215 Watermelon Twist is a medium pink shade with no shimmer and would suit all skin tones.
230 Berry Twist is one of my favourite shades, it is a gorgeous berry colour that almost appears fuchsia on the lips. Looks amazing on those with light skin.
235 Coral Twist is a gorgeous coral shade and my favourite shade out of the whole range. It has no shimmer and reminds me a lot of Bourjois Lip Crayon in Peach On The Beach.
250 Scarlet Twist is a sheer red shade with no shimmer. Would look great on all skin tones but perfect for those with fair skin due to its cool undertone and would also be great for those who are scared of red lipstick or find it too high maintenance.
260 Plum Twist is a beautiful deep berry shade with no shimmer. I found this shade applied unevenly in comparison to the other shades. It is quite cool toned, hence it makes teeth looks whiter.
275 Mauve Twist is a dark nude shade with a hint of shimmer. It appears as a very red brown on those with light skin but would be great nude shade for those with medium to dark skin.
