Well hello there,
I am going to tell you something, it's about difficult but here is goes. I am obsessed. Lip balms I hoard them, entirely addicted. So when I hear lots of people raving about a particular one, well there is an inevitable result...
Nuxe Reve de Miel Baume Leveres Ultra Nourrissant Ultra Nourishing Lip Balm.
What they say:
A repairing and nourishing lip balm creating comfort for chapped lips.
It comes in quite a heavy glass pot and costs £9.50 for 15ml.
At first I must say I was a bit unsure about this, it's got a really waxy finish to it and so feels quite heavy on the lips unlike a traditional lip balm. It also means if you put too much on it kind of congeals at the corners of your mouth (not the best look).
But it does what it says on the tin (glass pot) - my lips feel soft and nourished and I find myself now reaching for this when my lips are really dry instead of my Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream (which I never thought would happen).
Pros:
Works great - can see this being my go to product in winter.
Looks lovely.
A little goes along way.
Cons:
Quite waxy, easy to over apply.
Not really handbag friendly. It's surprisingly heavy for a lip product.
£9.50 for a lip balm... Enough said really.
The big decision:
Yes I think I will buy this again. I really like it as almost a deep conditioning mask for my lips, left on overnight you wake to find wonderfully moisturised lips and I find the waxy finish actually really helps with it's staying power so it's not all over your pillow 10 minutes after you get into bed. Yes £9.50 is a lot for a lip balm but I have been using this for over a month now and as you can see from the photo have barely made a dent in it so I am kind of justifying it in that I am sure it will last an awfully long time before I even need to think about buying another one.
What is your beauty obsession?
