Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain: Review




Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain in Cherish (£7.99) - Boots

Now, I know you've read about a million and one reviews on what seems to be a bloggerosphere miracle product but I would really love to put my pennies worth into the blogging world about this product. I love it. Seriously, it's a lipstick in a crayon that's wonderful for your lips, what more could you actually want?! I chose Cherish because I wanted a colour that I could wear everyday and know I could pull off. The pigmentation is fantastic and lasts a decent amount of time on the lips before turning into the stain you are promised. Now, I have to admit, the stain isn't fantastic on me but I really don't care because I've found that my lips are in lovely condition when I use this. I know a lot of people aren't too fond of the minty scent, but I don't mind it at all and I hope it hasn't put off people from giving them a go because I seriously do think that these are worth the hype surrounding them. 

Have you given them a go? What do you think?

Clinique Chubby Stick in Voluptuous Violet: Review




Clinique Chubby Stick in Voluptuous Violet* (£16) - Boots

As my small Christmas present from my fiance, he got me an absolutely gorgeous Clinique Chubby Stick in a lovely violet colour. I can understand why these little sticks have got the hype they have done because I genuinely love mine, especially as my lips are absolutely horrible at the moment. It's nice to have something that is good to my lips, and looks good at the same time. I do have to admit, £16 is A LOT of money to spend on what is actually a glorified lip balm but I think the colour makes all the difference for me. I love purple shades this winter and it's going to be constantly in my bag this winter as I don't have a purple lip colour that I can use constantly like this but if I'm honest, I wouldn't buy another Chubby Stick but probably just go for the cheaper Revlon alternative which are currently £5 in Boots instead of the usual £7.99 price tag. Basically, I think this is an absolutely fantastic product but just doesn't justify the £16. 

Do you agree, or are you happy to pay the £16?

Apivita Lip Care with Pink Rose Lip Balm: Review


Apivita Lip Care with Pink Rose Lip Balm (£4-5) - Marks & Spencer

Whilst I was in Greece I did get a few lovely products including this Apivita lip balm which is absolutely amazing. Apivita is one of Greece's biggest natural beauty brands and has finally made its way to our lovely shores in the shape of Marks & Spencer's beauty floors. This lip balm is so nourishing and the added rose scent is lovely but I love anything rose related so I may be a little biased. What I really like about this brand is that it uses such typically Greek products, beeswax and olive oil, which we have heard time and time again are brilliant for us! I usually use this after I scrub my lips (usually using my Lush Bubblegum lip scrub) and it really brings my lips back to life after such a beating but I would use this throughout the day as it does leave a slightly tinted look, which is a gorgeous soft pink that I usually go for in a lip colour. Plus, it's down to £4 on the M&S website right now! 

Have you tried anything from Apivita before? What is your favourite lip balm?
