Blistex Lippies

My body shop lipbalm is running out (as if I haven’t consumed the others yet) I went panic buying for lipbalm. I initially want to buy Venus and mars Lip detox but haven’t figured out yet what soaps to buy so it wont be a waste to pay shipping charges just for kipbalm,.. Anyweys, I’m replenishing my toiletries and these lippies got my attention.

Blistex Lip Infusion Moisture Splash

Comes in liquid form Have a silver roller tip for application. I tried to dot it on my lips but my lips thirsted for more moisture, I applied generously and it left a shiny bit oily but not heavy feel. I see this is good as lipgloss as well. Good for me since I’m not a fan of matte lipsticks. Its got the basic SPF15 so kudos for that.

Blistex Ultra protection SPF30

I bought this one coz I was so into summer that I think if Im putting higher SPFs on my face and body, I might as well put some on my lips too.. And so what attracted me to this is the SPF30 (Only to find out that Hawaiian tropics and Nivea offers SPF45 to 50.. geez). Nweys, this fell short on moisturizing part too,. Leaves a “matte” finish but velvety feel. This will be good for swimming days wherein you don’t want an oily gloss for your lips coz it will just smear. Or under a matte lipstick, well to keep it matte, or again under a lipgloss so your lips will not be overly greasy. Saying all that I guess It’s a good investment after all.

Will I but again of any of these two? Hmm, still thinking. I wanna try V&M next and kiehls. Burts bee too perhaps..

The body shop cocoa lip butter

(Encircled)

While enduring my chapped lips, I researched and got across some writings that lip products with petroleum will only worsen chapped lip. I looked at my 10 (yes ten) lipbalms majority of which have petroleum as ingredient. And so I went for my TBS cocoa lip butter

Ingredients: Hydrogenated coconut oil, beeswax, Olive oil, Candelila wax,Cocoa Butter, sweet almond oil, tocopherol acetate, propelene glycol, water, Matricaria extract, ammonium glycyrrhizate, calendula officinalis extract, tocopherol.

Verdict: I’d been using this even before had chapped lips. The finish is satiny soft, not oily. Good base for lipsticks. It did heal my chapped lips. Aid the tightness and dryness. In weeks time my lips were back to normal. Effective and really conditions my lips. It claims to restore elasticity iof skin, and I agree to it, a week of religiously using it made my lips baby soft, plumped, not wrinkled and reddish again. Good lipbalm for me

Rate: 5/5

Magic lip SPF 25

Bought this bcoz of its SPF25. This one glides on lips and leaves a thin oily film on lips and turns pink. The moisture part comes of short for me for after awhile my lips begins to dry, in fact using this for 1 week straight gave me a horrible windburn/chapped lips.. Im bound to think that lip product with high spf tends to dry lips. So what I did is use lipbalm first (my good old godiva) then swipe this on top. But still my lips hurt when using these, I think im having allergic reaction to this. Im not buying another one. This may work for others but not for me..

Rate: 2/5
