Body Shop's Born Lippy Balm: A Love Hate Relationship

Last year, as a farewell present, one of my friends got me a Born Lippy Lip Balm in the flavour strawberry.. At first, I didn't like it... The sickly strawberry scent and sticky texture were not my favourite things that added to the balm..

After applying it, I found that it gave my lips a scent of strawberry liquorice, which irritated me throughout the day.... The actual balm only moisturised my lips for about 2 or so hours before drying up  and making my lips even more chapped than they were in the first place....

It was only after my Baby Lips Balm ran out that I started using it again.... After remembering what it had previously done to my lips, I was cautious about using it. Vasaline was applied underneath it and in weeks I was amazed at the moisture that my lips contained....

I only have the strawberry one but I know that they come in other fruity flavours such as raspberry... The balms come in 10mL tubs which is enough to last you a long time, as you don't need to apply too much... After returning to it, because my lips were probably going to go chapped again, I have noticed that it adds a lovely pink tinge to my lips without making it look like I'm wearing a lip gloss or butter...

The only thing I still don't like about it is the application... Because it is in a small tub, you have to use one of your fingers to scoop it out... I have no problem with this when the balm doesn't smell like sickly strawberry liquorice... The balm leaves a sticky, flavoured residue on my finger that smells so weird that I have to wash it off or mask it with another balm or perfume..

Overall, my relationship with the Body Shop's Born Lippy Lip Balm in Strawberry is purely, Love Hate...

Baby Lips: A Force to be Reckoned With

Last year, after hearing about it from one of my friends, I purchased Maybelline's Baby Lips in Smoothing Cherry.... I was reluctant to try it after it promised smooth results in 7 days AKA a week.. But after using it for almost a year, I have grown to love this plain lip balm for reasons that I would have never imagined...

Although Baby Lips has no real colour to it, they come in a variety of fruity flavours such as Smoothing Cherry, Anti Oxidant Berry and Energising Orange... They each have a heavenly scent of what the balm is called... I love scented products almost as much as I love nail polish which is truly saying something.....

The balm moisturised my lips for about 4 hours and provided protection from the weather. I also used it under lipstick my lips never once felt dry or heavy.... They are also very cheap: retailing at around $4 in Australian dollars which is quite cheap for a good lip product....

I know that in America and other countries Baby Lips come in colours which I woud love to hear about in the comments section below...... In Australia, (for all you Aussies out there) Baby Lips can be purchased from Priceline and probably any other beauty/chemist kind of store....
