When I swiped one on, it actually surprised me. Not only did it smell of delicious vanilla, it also changed my lip colour the perfect pink tint. Now, I’ve tried on my fair share of temperature-adjusting lipsticks , but found every other formula to be either too bright to be flattering or not noticeable enough to be worth it. This one is the perfect in-between, with a heavy hit of hydration to boot. My lips were noticeably darker, and the colour seriously complemented my skin tone. I didn’t want to take it off — and fortunately, I didn’t have to. Despite it being a balm, it lived comfortably on my lips for a solid three hours (until, you know, food came into the picture).And while nothing could ever replace my trusty Aquaphor in terms of hydration, this balm definitely earned a spot next to it in my purse. So thank you, Winky Lux, for bringing back the ever-elusive element of surprise back to beauty.Flower Balms, $12 (£9.50), available at Winky Lux
