Balmi Lip Balm's

Hello everyone!

Well, it definitely has been a while!

I thought I would get the ball rolling again by talking about the Balmi Lip balms.

Now, the last lip balm post I did was about the Nivea Lip butters and I do still think they are fabulous but I feel as winter is drawing to a close (hopefully!) I want to still keep my lips hydrated but without that heavy feeling of the Shea butter. This is where the Balmi's come in to play!

I recently got the minty one and I really like it. It has a lovely minty smell that isn't too overpowering and leaves a lovely cooling, tingling effect on the lips. In fact, this product is quite similar to Carmex but Carmex is a more thicker product.

The Balmi comes in a ball shape with a key ring attachment so that you can attach it to your keys or handbag which would be really handy if it worked! This is the only down side to balm, and to be honest, I'm probably being a bit picky! The key chain is quite flimsy in fact when the key chain was attached to my keys it kept unclipping from the bottom of the Balmi just leaving you with the open bottom of the balm and if that was left in my handbag, it would definitely not be recovered as a balm!

So, on to the good points! The case that the balm comes in is quite petite for the amount of product you get which is super good! The balm is encased in a circular shape tub where the lid screws off as a semi circle leaving you with the balm.

I found the shape of the balm quite odd at first but it makes it super easy to apply straight from the tub for a quick application on the go.

Although the balm is quite light weight my lips felt hydrated for at least a few hours without the need to re apply.

Priced at £4.99 from boots. I may have to try a couple more flavours!

Let me know which lip balms are your favourite!

See you soon!

NIVEA LIP BUTTER

Good morning my lovelies!

Just a quick post this morning to tell you about the new Nivea Lip Butters!

I heard many other beauty guru's reviewing them saying they were really good and I was a bit skeptical to try them as I do simply love my Carmex.

I got mine from boots and it was £2.25 for the little tin, which I think is roughly the same price for Carmex.

As you all can see in the picture I chose the Vanilla and Macadamia flavour as I thought the smell was just simply divine and so luxurious! I wasn't actually planning on getting this as I was out and about and was in need of a lip balm when I had lost my usual lip balm so I ran into boots and picked up this.

I think that this is the perfect lip balm for the winter months and it feels so luxurious when I apply it! There is no tingling or cool sensation when applied just complete luxury!

The only thing I'm not so keen on is the packaging. It's a bit flimsy and I think it can be easily damaged when it i knocking about with all the rubble in my handbag! Apart from that I'm in love with the actual product!

I particularly like to use this to make a tinted lip balm! I apply this to my lips first to make them smooth and soft and then my lip stick on top, as it will just give a nice wash of colour for a daytime look.

What's your favourite lip balm? I always love to hear from you!

Enjoy your day!
