Description:

An ultra-intensive lip treatment to nourish and seal in long lasting lip moisture. Featuring papaya, to dissolve dead skin cells, combined with cocoa butter and vitamin E, for the ultimate hydration, and Botanical extracts such as pure essential vanilla oil, carrot, castor seed, coconut and jojoba seed which has been used by Native Americans for hundreds of years. Free from synthetic fragrance and colour.

This has become a fast staple in my makeup bag, and I bring it with me everywhere I go. It’s a lovely lipbalm to use, and makes a good base for lipsticks and lipgloss (I don’t wear lippies without lipbalm first). It has a creamy consistency, not drying like many lipbalms I’ve tried and it keeps lips moisturised for hours.

Now for me, lipbalms can be all kinds of moisturising, but if it tastes awful (or of coconuts), then I’m never going to use it. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way. That’s why I’m happy to say that this lipbalm gets an enthusiastic thumbs up from me in that department. It tastes yummy, all vanilla-y but not sickeningly so.

*stamp of approval* PASS!
