Jurlique Lip balm - Review


I am a lip balm addict. I am constantly moisturising my lips. My pet peeve is that dreaded white film that some lip balms can leave. I don't have that problem with this product. It’s the first lip balm I don’t need to reapply every half hour, it lasts for ages!

The Jurlique Love balm isn’t really a lip balm, but it can be used as such. It’s a multi-purpose product, marketed more like an upmarket Vaseline, like Elizabeth Arden’s 8 hour cream, but without the chemically smell and taste. It has a light tangerine scent, the texture is so smooth and being made by jurlique also means it’s a natural product, without the nasties. I also found it useful for chapped nose during the winter.

The packing is super cute, but when I’m on the go, I don’t like sticking my fingers in a pot, having said then, its lasting power is so good, I can wait a while before I need to top up. I have been using this consistently since I bought it. This was easily my fave beauty discovery from last year.

To me this is staple product that is always in my bag.
