Your Dry-Lip Disasters Solved!

If like me, you suffer with probably one of the most annoying habits in the world, this may be the post for you! For as long as I can remember I've had the terrible habit of lip biting, I'm actually biting them as I type this, that's how bad it is. I'd never actually noticed I did it until last year when it was pointed out to me, how embarrassing! Anyway, as a result of this, my lips are almost constantly dry, I can only recall one point in the last year when they've actually been lovely and soft... Not biting them during this time was torture!

I'm constantly on the look out for lip products which are hydrating, but not greasy, runny, sticky or foul smelling... Up until recently, I'd only ever found one product that came close to my little list of demands and after I'd finished with it I couldn't find it anywhere to repurchase it! So my search continued... And then I found one! YAY!

The product collecting all this build up is Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula lip balm!


 The one I have is dark chocolate and mint flavour - but you could always get the original if its more suited to you! There isn't a word that exists to describe the amount I love this lip balm, it is amazing. The only way to describe the smell of the chocolate and mint one is to say it smells a bit like... After Eight Mint Chocolates? Ever had those... They're lovely. It also tastes a little bit like them, sooo yummy. It's a nice consistency, creamy but not heavy, it feels so weightless on the lips but you could build it up if you wanted, which I do at night time, just to keep them hydrated. I've had this now for a good three months, and I still have about a quarter of it left which is amazing, as I tend to find that things like these run out fairly quickly.
This miracle product also has SPF 15 which is handy, it's important to protect your lips from the sun! It leaves a nice sheen on your lips too, it isn't overly glossy, it just gives them a healthy little sparkle.

I really love this lip balm, I will definitely be repurchasing it, its one of the best I've ever used. It's such a luxurious product and for a bargain price. They're available in Boots and I assume any other good pharmaceutical store and should be between £2-£3 however I am unsure about prices and stores in the US!

If anyone would like to recommend any others, feel free to leave me comments! :)
