I stumbled upon these new Juicy Bomb Glossy Butter Balm’s while I was mindlessly wandering around Ulta the other day. I in no way needed another lip product but in true girl fashion I didn’t have any of my many lip products on hand so I grabbed the green one. When I got in my car and used it for the first time I immediately walked back inside and bought the other 5 balms. This is the closest I have gotten to finding a solid stick version of the Laneige lip mask (my holy grail) and for only $3.99 a piece, I bought all of them on the spot. I have zero regrets. They are smooth, hydrating, buttery, lightly tinted, smell great, and last forever on the lips. I’ve been using them non stop for the last 4 days. 10/10 buy them if you see them. I will definitely be getting more.

After my initial haul, I've had even more time to put these amazing glossy butter balms to the test, and my love for them has only grown.
First off, let's talk about the Laneige comparison. I know it's a bold claim, but the way these colorful lip balms feel on my lips is uncannily similar to my beloved Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. They have that same plush, cushiony texture that just melts in, providing instant relief and a lasting hydration boost. While the Laneige is a thicker overnight treatment, these Essence balms offer that incredible comfort and smoothness in a convenient stick form, perfect for daytime. For just $3.99, it's seriously a game-changer if you're looking for that luxurious feel without breaking the bank. The shine is just right – not overly sticky like some glosses, but enough to make your lips look juicy and healthy.
Now, about the shades! The original post mentioned them, but let me tell you how they actually *wear*. These aren't opaque lipsticks; they're truly sheer, enhancing your natural lip color with a hint of tint.
01 One in a Melon (Sheer Watermelon Red): This gives a beautiful, natural flush, like you just bit into a berry. It's my go-to for a 'my lips but better' look.
02 So Berry Cute (Sheer Lavender): Don't let the lavender scare you! It's super subtle, adding just a hint of cool-toned pink that brightens up my whole face.
03 Time to Pitaya (Sheer Magenta): A slightly bolder tint, perfect for when I want a bit more color without committing to a full lipstick. It's vibrant and playful.
04 Kiwi to my Heart (Sheer Kiwi Green): This one is fascinating! On my lips, it doesn't look green at all, but rather a very subtle, cool-toned pink that makes my lips look incredibly fresh and awake. It's like magic!
05 Choco-Lot to Handle (Sheer Chocolate Brown): I was hesitant about this, but it’s a gorgeous warm nude tint that gives a sophisticated, understated vibe. Perfect for a minimal makeup day.
06 Wake Me Up Before You CoCo (Sheer White): This one is essentially a clear balm, providing maximum shine and hydration without any color. It's fantastic for layering over other lip products or just for a truly natural look. The OCR mentioned "a white lip balm is shown open," so this one is likely what they were referring to.
What I really appreciate is how comfortable these glossy butter balms are for all-day wear. I keep one in my bag, one on my desk, and one by my bed. They're perfect for a quick touch-up, keeping dryness at bay, or just adding a polished finish to any look. The scent is light and fruity, never overpowering, which is a big plus for me. Plus, the packaging is so cute and compact, making them super easy to throw into any purse or pocket.
If you're on the fence, trust me, grab one (or all six!). For the price, quality, and the sheer joy they bring to my daily routine, these Essence Juicy Bomb balms are an absolute must-have. You'll thank me later!
