My Top Lipbalms

Sunday, 7 June 2015


I love lip balm and I can't go a day without it, in fact I struggle to go a few hours without applying some. I have a breathing problem which I think I have mentioned before, it's mainly to do with my lungs but I also breathe mainly through my mouth which causes dry, flaky lips.
I use lip scrubs to get rid of flakiness and when I want to wear certain lipsticks but I find the best way to keep my lips looking good is to reapply lip balm all the time.
By Terry Baume De Rose-£39.00

My top lip balm of choice is the By Terry Baume De Rose, it is pricey stuff but it is the thickest, creamiest, most loveliest lip balm in the world! It's definitely one of my holy grail items. I did a fuller blog post recently so you can read more about it here. I can honestly say though if you have very dry lips then give this a go and hopefully you will love it as much as I do, it's worth every penny.

Nivea Lip Balm-£1.55 and Nivea Lip Butter-£2.00
The next few lip balms are all high street, the first are the Nivea lip balms in stick form. I love these and they come in a variety of different colours and strength of hydration. These are so easy to get in deals at the super market, I make sure I always pick them up when they have an offer on. They are great to have chucked in your make-up bag or in you handbag. I have a few of these dotted all over the house!

This next lip balm is one I got in a gift set for Christmas by Marks and Spencers, I actually really loved the gift set but I was so surprised how lovely and soft this makes my lips feel! I just didn't expect to love it as much as I do. They actually do a cute little set of three lip balms for £6.00 which would make a great little present for a friend or family member. ps. I didn't take a photo of mine because my dog chewed the lid and it looks a bit gross, but luckily it's still usable.

Finally I have another lip product by Nivea, this time it's the little lip butters they do. They smell delicious and are lovely and thick so they feel like they are actually working on your lips. I've not been trying these as long but I think I might be hooked! I want to get some different flavours so I can hide those round the house too

What are your lip balm musts?

By Terry Baume De Rose-£39.00
Going into the shop knowing I was going to purchase this was probably one of the hardest things I've had to go and do. Ok, a tiny over exaggeration maybe but it is not easy parting with £39 for a fricking lip balm I can assure you! It's one of those 'beauty bloggers made me do it' purchases, the vlogger that did it for me was INTHEFROW, I'm currently obsessed with both her and her blog, I mean damn look at that gorgeous purple hair. I just want everything she recommends lately, not good for the bank balance.

I've always struggled with dry, flaky lips and nothing seems to cut it except for a few that I've recently been trialling. (Let me know if you'd like to see a post on my favourite lip balms in the comments below.) So when I bought this I hadn't set my hopes up  too high, I mean yes I wanted it to god damn work because it cost so much.

I walked into SpaceNK knowing it was coming home with me, I went straight over to find it, smelt it, dashed to the till out came the card, out came my money and there the little black bag of guilt was mine!

But was it worth it? Well that's the worst part. I absolutely adore it! I could NOT be without this now, the smell is delicious, the texture is thick and creamy, the packaging is oh so posh and what more is that it works!! It doesn't get rid of my flaky lips entirely but medically I don't think they ever will be, but this leaves them soft and preps my lips perfectly for lipstick.

So there we go that's an addiction I may live to regret! Anybody else tried this? Thoughts?
