By Terry's iconic Baume de Rose (Reviewed HERE) has been one of my very favorite luxury lip balms since I first began using it years ago, and the new limited edition By Terry Impearlious Baume De Rose Set ($65.00 for five 0.08 oz. balms from Space NK, Space NK in Nordstrom and Space NK in Bloomingdale's) is the ultimate By Terry luxury lip set. Each 0.08 oz. (the full size features 0.238fl. oz) ultra-chic lip treatment boasts the effective lip-saving Baume de Rose formula, but 4 of the 5 shades are infused with subtle color and gorgeous luminous pearl. 

The creamy textured balms leave lips soft, supple, hydrated and silky smooth. The limited-edition pearlized shades offer a sheer wash of pearlized color, a gorgeous shine, and they are absolutely gorgeous on the lips. I do not have particularly pigmented lips, and therefore you can detect a definite difference in each of the shades. However, these are sheer-leaning balms, and if you have very pigmented lips you will likely detect very little difference between them– instead you will see sheer coverage with a hint of color and the beautiful pearlized luminescence. 

Baume de Rose has a rather thick consistency that thoroughly coats the lips without feeling heavy or uncomfortable. It is not sticky in the least bit, and has the perfect amount of cushion. It has the quintessential By Terry rose scent, which I find delightful, but may be problematic to those who avoid scented lip products.

The original Baume de Rose imparts a sheer milky pink hue, and it makes my lips appear more plump, and in addition to being sumptuous all by itself- it also makes a lovely base for lipstick.

All of the Baume de Rose balms in this set can be worn alone, or paired with your favorite lipsticks.

Set Includes:

Nº 100 Frozen Queen: is described as, "evanescent, like a pearl of the South Seas." I would describe this shade as a sheer taupe-like hue with shimmering silver pearl.

Nº 200 Fresco Rose: is described as, "pink, delicate and refined, like a freshwater pearl." This is a stunning pink infused with silver pearl.

Nº 300 Frost Fire: is described as, "red baroque, fiery like an Oriental pearl." This is a gorgeous burnished copper with peach undertones and golden peach shimmer.

Nº 400 Freezy Berry: is described as, "bitten-lips effect, inspired by the rare purple pearl." This balm has a gorgeous purple base that is punctuated by lilac or lavender shimmer.

Original Baume de Rose: is described as, "the inimitable luster of a natural pearl." It is mostly sheer, but it does impart a subtle, milky pink hue on my lips.

Features:

• The Hydroskin complex, a combination of filling spheres and active ingredients of lipid origin, provides optimal hydration.

• Biotechnological ceramides deliver youthfulness and density thanks to their restructuring and firming action and their smoothing effect.

• Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, and Sun Protection Factor 15 protect the lips against the harmful effects of light and help to fight against aging.

• A lipo-regenerating complex made up of Rose Flower Essential Wax with softening and astringent properties, Pastel Oil to boost cell renewal, and Shea Butter with healing and soothing benefits, supplies strength, nutrition and comfort.

If you are interested in trying By Terry Baume de Rose, but prefer to buy a full sized, or mini single– then here are other choices to consider: BY TERRY Baume de Rose Crystalline ($28.00 for 0.08 oz. from Space NK and $53.00 for 0.238fl. oz from Space NK).

Overall Assessment: As a huge fan of By Terry Baume de Rose, I am utterly smitten with the By Terry Impearlious Baume De Rose Set. I find the formula, sheer wash of color, and pearlized luminescence absolute unmitigated perfection. If, however, you have particularly pigmented lips, and are seeking more opacity, then you need to be advised that this set is definitely more sheer than opaque.
