Jo Malone Vitamin E Lip Conditioner

Although I love my Nuxe lip balm, I'm always on the hunt for an even better lip balm. I also feel the Nuxe lip balm is more suited as a night treatment because of its thick consistency. It is also quite matte which is not what I usually want my lips to look like during the day.
Jo Malone is such a smart luxurious brand, selling lovely candles and shower gel along with many other products that are well known and loved. The lip conditioner is part of the Vitamin E Collection that Jo Malone offers. I have not tried any of the other products from the collection as of yet but I have been using this lip balm for quite a while now and am quite pleased with it.

If you didn't know already, I suffer from Eczema and have extremely dry cracked lips all the time, which means not only do I have to be careful what I put on my skin but I also have a large interest in finding products that work well.

The lip balm is extremely soothing on the lips and doesn't sting at all when you apply it. It has a subtle vanilla scent and a syrup-like consistency (although I wouldn't describe it as sticky). It keeps my lips moisturised for a long time and doesn't need to be reapplied multiple times throughout the day. It is presented in a simple yet elegant black tube which is the perfect size to store in small handbag if needed. I quite like that its not in a tub because I hate having to dip my fingers in which is actually quite unhygienic especially if I'm out for the whole day.

There is something really addictive about this lip balm that I do not think other cheaper lip balms have. Yes, it is extremely expensive for a lip balm and you could easily make do with Carmex or Vaseline but it is always nice to treat yourself sometimes and buy things on the one off. You may even find, like myself that this lip balm actually significantly improves your dry lips whereas the cheaper brands are just a temporary fix.
