Review: Carmex Strawberry Lip Balm Tube

If I could choose one thing out of my full lip collection, including lipstick, lipgloss, lip cream the full lot.
I would choose this!

I couldn't get the SPF15 bit in so here's another photo;)

There you go!

Taken from Boots website:

" Not only does this fruity balm heal dry, cracked lips, it also acts as a sunscreen with the added protection of SPF 15."

 

 Ingredients list

This lip balm has a rounded applicator , so its nice and easy to apply with no mess. It comes out in a sort of jelly form, but applies to your lips as more glossy, like a lipgloss. 

The lip balm definitely does what it promises! I found my lips much more moisturised after about just a week. Also I found they had less cracks, which has definitely made a difference in the application of lipstick and lipgloss. And as for the SPF 15 bit, well i haven't really had the chance to test that because well...

Come on dudes I live in England since when did we get the sun!;)

I usually apply this after I've been in the bath at night times, or sometimes when i moisturised my face in the mornings. Most of the time though I apply it before i go to bed. I've only got one con about this product though, and whether its normal or not for this particular product, I haven't experienced this in the past before with previous lip balms or lip gloss tubes I've tried. 

Basically, after about a week of using it I had already noticed a "dent" in the tube. Like this,

 

Either I've been applying to much when I first got this product, or its just how frequently I've been using it I don't know. Or maybe its just how this product works? 

Either way I would still recommend this product if you want a great lip balm that moisturises and contains SPF. I got this from Superdrug for little over £2, you can also get this item at Boots for roughly the same price. 

Thanks for Reading! :) xxx

 

 

Review: MUA Love Hearts Range Lip Balm's

Since I haven't posted much , and for me its now the Easter school holidays. I'm going to try and post every single day , maybe one or more posts so hit the "Follow" Button for more reviews , tutorials, hauls and more! :)

Today I'm going to be reviewing the lip balms , from the MUA love hearts range.MUA and Love heart sweets collaborated and created the "Love Hearts Range" Obviously based around the love hearts sweets. The range consists of 6 Nail Polishes and 5 lip balms.  Each item in the range is £2 each  and available from Supedrug , but you can buy them online on MUA's website. Today I will be reviewing 4 of the lip balms, so lets get on with the review......

The packaging on these is adorable, I just love it!

Great lips - nude , natural , beige colour
Sugar lips- a bright pink
Kiss me- a REALLY bright bold red
Sweet Kiss - a light baby pink 

Left to Right : Kiss Me , Sweet Kiss , Sugar Lips, Great Lips

These amazing lip balms could only be described as Little Gems! There is absolutely nothing bad to say about these lip balms. They are extremely moisturising , they make the perfect base for dry lipstick or even just a base in general. You could even wear them on there own! The colours show up great on the lips, i usually apply these lip balms with a lip brush and the show up really well. Especially "Kiss Me". For £2 your getting a fantastic quality product , adorable packaging and a more then fair amount of product! This product would probably last you ages.

Overall , these lip balms are beyond expectations! I would definitely buy any of these again if i ran out , my personal favourite is probably "Sweet Kiss". I just love the colour of it and how it shows up on my lips. I would definitely recommend these lip balms to anyone who wants a moisturising lip balm with great pigmentation and adorable packaging. The only bad thing is the range is limited edition , but is out through the summer months , i think.
