I'm the same way. Not a major lipstick person and love looking at the pretty h lipstick cases for a smile-factor while stuck at home.

I have both lip shine and balm. I use the balm more often and will need to replace with refill soon. Light scent. To me not that noticeable but that's me. I love the poppy lip shine. Use just one swoop and it gives me a little shine with a very light tint of orange. Not much orange IMHO just enough for me. I have a hard time with the other lipstick colors because it's bold for my style. I have them but use tiny tiny amount. I wish I was like others here that are gorgeous wearing their lipstick colors.

I have purchased the lip shine refill on h.com. At times it sells fast. I only purchase from h.com but know some department stores sell them also. Hope this helps!

This is exactly the info I was looking for, thanks! Do you think the balm is "worth it" compared to just an average chapstick?

Also something just occurred to me... have you ever considered having two refills but only a single exterior case and swapping them out? I really love the all white case for the balm and figured maybe I could get the balm plus a shine refill and occasionally swapping the bullet out. It looks like swapping out the bullet is no biggie so is this something others do or just me being nuts ;) I usually have a TPM handbag most of the time so two lippies would be crowded.

Glad it was helpful ! To be honest I haven't used chapstick in many many years. Of course back in the day there weren't many options. :P H lip balm works for my badly chapped lips so to me it was worth the try and have been happy with it. No you are not nuts! I am doing just that!! I love the limited edition cases but can't really use the colors as mentioned before. So, I plan to use the cases I love with other refill colors or lip balm. :biggrin: I also love the TPM! I've not tried to take to lip cases but I think it could be doable if theres a need or you are not having to carry a lot more. I prefer not bulging my handbags no matter the size.

I agree, bulging a handbag is off the table for me!
I'm also glad I'm not crazy to think about swapping out the bullet :) Thanks for your advice, I'm going to try to swing by my boutique soon and get both!

I bought several of the limited edition cases & I wasn't loving several of the lipstick colors so I thought
I would use other shades of H lipsticks that I prefer but I also use the empty cases to carry Advil
so the case can be multifunctional with some imagination...LOL

Oh my gosh this is straight genius. Would you be willing to share a photo of the inside of the case without a bullet in it? I am sorta obsessed with the magnetic closure so even if not balm, would definitely find a use for it like you have :)

Peonies, I have your pictures. I hope they are timely enough. The fit of the sleeve is not too tight in my case, as you might see in the last photo. Very easy to get the actual lipstick case in and out.

Thank so very much! These are great and totally "in time" - waiting for my next visit with my SA :)

Your sleeve is rouge piment right?

When you say your sleeve isn't tight and it's easy to get the lipstick out, I'm wondering if you wish it were actually tighter? My concern would be the tube slipping out - I'd want it to be a pretty snug fit.

No, absolutely not. It’s tight enough. A few weeks ago someone mentioned that it was really hard to get the bullet in and out. It’s not like that for me. But I cannot imagine the case slipping from the sleeve at all. Definitely tightness there. I think it’s a very good fit, as one expects from H, and at that price :)
