Hey Guys,
I wanted to make a post about this lip balm I've stumbled across. This drew my eye because I had heard
essie button talk about it on her channel and I've come to really trust her option.
Lets start off with the
pros,
- super rich on your lips
- the balm itself lasts forever so you can smack your lips together and still feel that 'I just applied lip balm feeling just 2 minutes ago' for over an hour
- VERY moisturizing, I can put this on at night and when I wake up the next morning my lips are perfectly smooth
- holds up in the cold cold weather. The day I purchased it I went for the walk:
'gander 'round the seawall' it was cold and super windy and by the end of our 2 hour walk my lips were still perfectly moisturized and had the feeling that I had JUST applied the lip balm
- goes perfectly under lipstick or lip stains, actually I completely recommend it as it is the best base I have found so far
- I have gotten complements by my boyfriend for how smooth my lips are with this on so that's kinda a big deal..
And now the the
cons,
- you use it up so quick, I've had it for less than a month and I'm almost 1/4 of the way through
- normally I wouldn't think the above point is that much of a con but because of the price it puts a dent in your wallet. Now Essie had warned everyone its very expensive so when I saw it I kinda expected the worst and to my surprise it wasn't a ridiculous price but still very expensive for a lip balm - $17.00 CAN
- it's hard to find, Essie lives in the UK so they do carry it in drugs stores, I believe, over there but we only have it at Shopper Drug mart in Canada. Now I have no idea where to look for this in America, sorry!
- it doesn't help with cracked dry lips, the job it does best is
nurious your lips but if you have any dry cracking or anything you'll need to use a lip scrub then apply this afterwards and that fixes that con
Overall, I think this is a wonderful product, the pros defiantly weigh out the cons. I do see myself buying this again in the future, especially since my lips are a huge problem area and it makes it difficult for me to wear any lipsticks. This however to me is considered a luxury item so I won't be using it every night and day and try to savour it for the year. But, its a really really great product and I haven't heard about it that much through blogs and youtube so this is me getting the word out to you guys!
