I saw this lip balm going around on Youtube and many people have said how fantastic it is. I have a couple of Nuxe products which are lovely so I thought I'd try it out!
Firstly I should probably give you a little bit of information regarding the state of my lips generally.
I suffer from ridiculously dry lips due to a mix of Eczema and just a complete lack of hydration. All year round they split at the sides (gross I know) and flake constantly. I have gotten completely fed up of products promising to hydrate and smooth out lips when they don't help at all. Normally, I use vaseline or a Burts Bees lip balm which seem to temporarily hydrate my lips.
After the first few times of using this lip balm my lips felt instantly different. The soreness and flakiness has gone! My lips feel soft and hydrated, so I'm really pleased with this product. I've found myself less and less needing to moisturise my lips during the day and enjoying more wearing lipstick.
Appearance/Smell
The lip balm has a strong citrus-orange\grapefruit smell and it has a thick solid-like consistency that when applied forms a milky clear layer thicker than a normal lip balm (therefore I recommend applying at night time). The pot is made out of glass.
It costs £9.50 for a pot that contains 15g of product. I've barely made a dent in mine after using it for nearly a month now, so I think it will last me a long time. I would really recommend anyone with dry chapped lips to try this out.
- 'This concentrated formula helps nourish, repair, soothe and protect lips (Honey, Plant Oils, Shea Butter, Grapefruit Essence)' (quote from the box).
- 80.2% of the ingredients of natural origin.
- It also says on the box that this product has been tested in the extremely cold conditions in Canada.
- £9.50 - 15g.

I too suffer with splitting at the sides of my mouth, my doctor says this is an infection and prescribed bactroben which helps but leaves my lips really dried out. I have just ordered this and hope I have similarly good results!
