Not so peachy.

Hey dolls. Everyone settling into the horrible weather we’ve been having recently? I don’t like it, I miss the SUN & the WARMTH! I’ve noticed that I always forget to moisturise my lips :oops: so I went out & got myself a new lip balm that I said I would use religiously. I made sure that it SMELT like heaven. I guess you could say that I found it but MY GOSH! It’s the worst lip balm I’ve used in YEARS! It did make my lips soft & yada yada. But I thought I’d share this because personally I wouldn’t want you to waste your money on it - yes it really is that bad!

RRP: £8

I got it from a BLOOM stand in Superdrug. Sorry about the state of the pot - I REALLY did give it a try. I’m sure you’ve all walked past the brand. It’s nice, bright & pink every time I walk past. I hadn’t got anything from them so I thought I’d give their lip balms a go. It’s an AROMATHERAPY lip balm, with all your essential oils made from beeswax & nourishes your lips with vitamin E in their too. Not to mention that it’s made with natural peach flavour. Okay, it does smell LUSH! The peach one smells like real peaches! But this is what happens every time…

There’s basically not much space AT ALL for you to pick up any balm with your fingers. I have to use my NAILS every time to use it!! It’s such a pain to use!! Maybe it’s just me? Maybe… I didn’t think before I got it but I feel like kicking myself for getting this… I really can’t believe I wasted £8 on this junk!! I think I’ll just stick to CHAPSTIKS or VASELINE! Unless there is an amazing lip balm out there that I don’t know of :)

Anyone else had any problems like this? I want to know your favourite lip balms :)

      I’ve seen an advert for vaseline with cocoa butter in it! Brown little tub - I want!!
      I tried this really shiny Blistex one once - but I wasn’t feeling it it was too watery?

      Ahhh thank you :) My cousin sorted it out for me in the end! He did it in seconds :blush: x

    Aveeno chapstick with SPF 15 is the best. It makes my lips so soft and it smells great. If you don’t have the brand over there, I can mail it to you.
