ByTerry has fast become known for its Hydra-Range collection as we have recently seen new additions such as a Foundation, a Concealer, a Global Face Cream and now ... Lip Balms! Had my name all over it really didn't it?
In my opinion, no one fuses skincare and make-up together like Terry does. Her knowledge and creativity really have become legendary in the beauty industry. I mean only Terry could make a powder that feels wet and hydrates your skin ... simply genius. I have covered all of the hyaluronic range already here on the blog so I will link in this post should you want to try something you haven't yet tried as it really is a collection you must get to know.
So, the latest addition for Summer is the Hyaluronic Hydra Balm. I was on the zoom event for the launch with Terry and knew I would instantly love them. I was sent two of the shades to try, a nude and a red ... but do have two more on the way that I knew were so me, which I will update you on as they arrive.

Hydration, Colour and Shine ..... all in one! (linked here)
Using the hydrating powers of a lip balm and the colour and shine of lipstick ... meet the new Hyaluronic Hydra-Balm. Infused with the intensely hydrating benefits of hyaluronic acid, the lipstick provides a wash of colour for soft and plumper-looking lips. The creamy, nurturing formula is made with a uniquely hydrating hyaluronic acid that holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, it provides a moisture injection for full & healthy-looking lips.
They are combined with a water gloss complex to deliver glossing agents for a sensual wet look, while crystal colour micro-pigments create a clear, even colour for natural-looking lips.

PACKAGING ...
I love the new stylish ByTerry logo casing that has had a bit of a revamp. It looks sleek and stylish and is portable enough to throw into your handbag, pocket or beach bag! The shape of the bullet makes it really easy to just throw on effortlessly. I also love the new Terry logo design in the actual lipstick itself.

RESULTS!
These balms will be your summer bff because this is the most hydrating lipstick you will find. Summer lips should be glossy, hydrating and sexy after all! These are insanely creamy yet so pigmented and give you that ultimate balm/lipstick/gloss hybrid finish and feel. They also have that gorgeous ByTerry signature delicate rose scent. They glide on like butter and definitely make your lips look plumper (which I'm totally in for) and I love just how buildable these balms are to and up the colour pigment. If you are careful, you can definitely wear them under a face-covering too. They are the ultimate summer lip.
As for staying power, bearing in mind they are a balm texture you obviously will need to reapply them but seeing as they have a really good pigment they last considerably well on the lip I have to say.
I think #SexyNude is a definite all round nude for many skin tones and will be a very popular one. #LoveAffair will be a great one for the autumn/winter time as well as the summer but is a great deeper take on a red/nude that isn't so in your face for those that want a more understated look. Obviously, being fair they are both quite prominent shades on my lips hence they will differ depending on skin tone etc. I just love how both shades really do change a whole look.

These two shades below are most certainly my favourites and most worn. #Nudissimo is the perfect everyday coral that is not too pink and not too peach and works with every look. #Teatime is even better on the lip than in the tube being a perfect apricot/nude. Both of them mixed together make the prettiest shade and in fact, this is how I have been wearing them!
