Not Sponsored: I've been reviewing products from skincare brand Naturopathica. I've tried products from their Chill Chocolate Vine and Marshmallow Collections. Now I'm reviewing their Sweet Cherry Collection (all reviews are linked below). Yesterday, I reviewed Naturopathica's Sweet Cherry Polishing Lip Scrub and today I would like to review Naturopathica's Sweet Cherry Conditioning Lip Butter, which you apply afterwards. This lip butter is part of the Sweet Cherry Reveal Set. The ingredients for this lip butter include sweet cherry seed oil (packed with vitamins and antioxidants to nourish and protect), pomegranate-jojoba complex (naturally plumps by aiding with moisture retention for continuous hydration), and moringa seed oil (a nutrient rich oil that helps promote elasticity). Naturopathica states this lip butter will "plump ... deeply condition ... and reveal softer & fuller lips." This lip butter has a very soft cherry scent and starts off as a solid. When applied to the lips it softens. As you can see from the picture of my lips below, it gives off a wet/glossy look. I don't particularly like this, because during the day if I want to wear lipstick, I can't while using this lip butter. If I want to wear a liquid lipstick, it will compete with this lip butter. You would have to wear this alone. So, I tried again using this lip butter as an overnight treatment. It feels really good on the lips. Your lips will feel moisturized and nourished (while it is ON). I slept with it on overnight. When I removed it the next morning, I did NOT see plumper lips. I did NOT see fuller lips. My lips did NOT feel moisturized. I tried this several times, to no avail. So, I can't recommend this product. What I can do is recommend to you some really good lip balms that I use: 1. Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Balm 2. Emile Cordon New York Lip Balms 3. Burt's Bee's Overnight Lip Treatment and even Vaseline. I hope this review helps. I have one more Sweet Cherry product to review.

Thank you so much for the honest review as always, Kim:) The ingredients sound great, but am not a fan of the wet and glossy look either. As you said, what if you want to wear a lipstick during the course of the day? I'd rather just get something that works really well, like the Fresh one you mentioned.
