Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Intensive Repair Lip Balm

I was lucky enough to receive this Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Intensive Repair Lip Balm as a freebie from LookFantastic, who I work for, and after using it for a few weeks I can definitely notice and improvement in the condition of my lips.

Formulated with vitamins and emollients, as well as natural ingredients including watercress extract and honey, it locks in moisture and heals dry, chapped skin. It has a slightly odd menthol taste and leaves your lips tingling slightly when first applied, but you can really feel it soothing any areas of dryness.

I apply this before I go to bed and my lips feel so soft and smooth when I wake up. It's quite pricey, and retails around the £20 mark, however a little goes a long way so a pot will last you a long time.

Figs & Rouge Cherry Blossom Lip Balm

Nothing beats the feeling of kissably soft lips, and this Figs & Rouge Cherry Blossom Lip Balm certainly keeps its promise of being 'nourishing, soothing and multi-tasking'. I was introduced to this little gem when I received it in a GlossyBox a couple of months back, and it's been my go-to lip care product ever since.

Made from 100% pure and natural ingredients, it's packed with antioxidants and omega fatty acids which keep your lips smooth and supple, keeping them hydrated long after you've applied it. It also has a subtle yet noticeable pink tint, which looks absolutely gorgeous on your lips, as well as having  yummy taste that's just like those Haribo cherry sweets!.

 

Another thing which I really love about this lip balm is that it doesn't leave your lips feeling too sticky. I almost always choose lipstick over gloss, for the very reason that I don't like anything that makes my hair stick to my lips, however this feels really light and still gives your lips a stunning sheen. It also works well dabbed over the top of pink lipstick, giving you the perfect pout.

A little goes a long way with this balm, so a 12.5ml tube will last you ages. I've had it for around 2 months and wear it almost every day, and there's hardly even an indent in the tube! The pretty floral packaging is absolutely beautiful too.

You can buy Figs & Rouge Cherry Blossom Lip Balm (12.5ml) for £4.95 from feelunique.
