Happipeach
Charlotte Tilbury Happipeach Hyaluronic Happikiss Colour BalmCharlotte Tilbury Happipeach Hyaluronic Happikiss Colour Balm ($34.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a brighter, muted medium orange with strong, warm undertones and a high-shine, cream finish. The texture was moderately dense, slightly thicker than I’ve come across in most lipstick formulas, and felt like it melted against the warmth of my lips.
It had nearly opaque pigmentation, which was more than marketed, that applied evenly over my lips but had a touch of product that settled into my lip lines. Thankfully, the settling wasn’t noticeable in person. This shade stayed on nicely for four hours and felt hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$34.00/0.08 oz. – $425.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be hydrating and help lips look smoother while having a “high-shine finish with medium coverage.” It had a denser, thicker consistency with light tackiness that didn’t feel heavy, but it was thicker than most lip product son the market. The shades tended to have mostly opaque to opaque color coverage rather than “medium coverage.”
The finish was exceptionally shiny, and it did give the illusion of plumper lips. Whether the product looked smoothing depended on the shade as some were more flattering to wear than others. They lasted between three and five hours, were hydrating, and didn’t feather/bleed on me despite being a creamier, more emollient consistency; they seemed to adhere better than a true lip balm, but they were still comfortable to wear. The formula had a subtle, sweet vanilla scent but no discernible taste.
Worth noting, the packaging used thinner plastic and was much lighter-weight (to the point of feeling a little flimsy) compared to other Charlotte Tilbury lip products. It also has a clicking, twist-up mechanism that doesn’t lalow for the product to be twist back into the tube, so take care when twisting product out for use. I’m guessing that the more balm-like formula needed that type of mechanism in order not to break at the base.

Romance Kiss
Charlotte Tilbury Romance Kiss Hyaluronic Happikiss Colour BalmCharlotte Tilbury Romance Kiss Hyaluronic Happikiss Colour Balm ($34.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a vibrant, medium-dark coral with strong, warm orange undertones and a glossy, cream finish. It had a vinyl-like shine, which was the standout feature of the formula. It was intensely pigmented with nearly full coverage in a single layer, rather than the medium coverage described by the brand.
The consistency was thicker, denser, though it didn’t feel particularly heavy to me and wasn’t tacky, but it was thicker than most products on the market. The color applied evenly to my lips, and the formula seemed to smooth out my lip lines for the most part. It lasted well for four and a half hours and felt moisturizing over time.

Passion Kiss
Charlotte Tilbury Passion Kiss Hyaluronic Happikiss Colour BalmCharlotte Tilbury Passion Kiss Hyaluronic Happikiss Colour Balm ($34.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a slightly muted, medium-dark brown with subtle, warm undertones and a glossy, cream finish. The texture was moderately dense and thicker, though it glided across my lips comfortably as it wasn’t tacky or heavy to wear.
I did feel like it melted, though, so it was easy to over-apply product. This shade had rich color payoff in a single layer, which was more than marketed, and the color applied evenly and smoothly over my lips. I felt this shade did smooth out the appearance of my lip lines. It wore well for four and a half hours and felt hydrating while worn.
