Hey Beautyholicgirls,
Now, I don't know about you but I've noticed that as soon as the weather has gotten a little colder, my lips have started to get dry and chapped. Ergh. Usually, I am the worst person when it comes to dry lips because I end up biting them and trying to rub the skin away.
In the past, I tried several lip balms and Vaselines which certainly helped but did not give me those smooth kissable lips in an instant. It would usually take a couple of days for my lips to become smooth and to top it off, in order to achieve this, I had to ensure that I kept reapplying them throughout the day. Of course, if you know me, I am the laziest person when it comes to reapplying anything on my skin; the minute my lips would begin to get better, I would forget to reapply my Vaseline and before I knew it , I was in one of those cycles where my lips would get worse and worse to the point where they start to bleed.
After years of searching, I feel like I have finally found the perfect 'lip-rescue' for me and I want to share it with you all.
*DRUM ROLL PLEASE*
This lip-balm has been a complete cult product for me over the past month. Here are a few reasons why:
❤️ Vegan: The packaging and the ingredients in this balm are all 100% vegan. I feel that at this point in time, companies no longer have the excuse to get away with testing on animals. It is possible to obtain a good quality product that is also vegan.
❤️ Scent: The Bali-Balms come in 4 different scents, Bergamot & Grapefruit, Cinnamon & Burnt Orange, Lemon & Black pepper and Sandalwood & Ginger. I personally have the Bergamot & Grapefruit and I absolutely love this scent. I find that it's not too over powering and it just smells gorgeous and soothing.
❤️ The Packaging: I absolutely love the packaging of this lip balm. It is so minimalistic, yet the dark orange internal part of the box adds a touch of luxury.
❤️ "Kiss the Planet Pledge": This is a campaign started by Bali Balm to support eco-friendly, sustainable and cruelty free practices in the production, packaging and usage of their lip balms. The pledge is a commitment to use only natural and recyclable products and processed that do as little harm to the ecosystems and the environment as possible... I don't think I need to add anything else as the pledge speaks for itself.
❤️ Suitable for Him & Her: It's not just ladies who suffer from dry lips. Men should also be able to find products that work so I think it's great that this balm is suitable for everyone...Also, with Christmas coming up, I think they would make an excellent stocking filler for the men in your lives and that's an added bonus! ;).
❤️ Instant Results: For me, this is the most important point. The Bali Balm ACTUALLY works the second I apply it. Not only this, my lips feel moisturised for the whole day without any need to reapply it. I simply apply it in the mornings when I do my makeup and then go over it with my favourite lippy.
The Bali Balms are available for purchase directly through the Bali Balm website. Retailing for £20, I admit that they are a bit pricier than your everyday drugstore lip balms. However, for me, the results are worth the price tag.
I would definitely recommend Bali Balm to anyone who suffers from chapped lips in the colder months. Plus, I don't know about you but I would always be happy to spend a few extra pounds for a product that is ethically produced and most importantly, does what it states on the packaging.
Let me know if you have enjoyed this review and tell me what products you enjoy using to rescue your lips in winter.
❤️
Love, ML x
