Lip Care!

I decided to make a post about lip care! In my opinion, lip care is a very important thing... from lip scrubs to lip balms it's all important. 


All of my lip care products
Most of these products have been accumulated on my travels back and forth from England, it's becoming a bit of a habit to just go into Boots in Newcastle airport and buy a new type of lip balm!

Apple Chapstick
















Cherry Chapstick


Blistex Raspberry Lemonade Blast
















Baby Lips: Cherry Me


Balmi: Raspberry

















































All of the above are my favourite pocket lip care things, my ultimate favourite is the Blistex Raspberry Lemonade Blast, the smell is unreallll! I love the others, and I always have the baby lips in my purse for when I'm out and my lips get really dry! The Balmi is great too, I usually keep that at home in case I lose it, I love the smell of this one, it smells like raspberry petit filous yoghurts, can't go wrong really. As for the chapsticks, the good ole reliable's, I usually find them in random bags/jackets/hoodies, that I haven't worn in ages. All of these lip balms with the exception of the Baby Lips, have no colour payoff. They're all really light and not heavy on the lips, not sticky or tacky. If I had to narrow it down to just one of these to have it would most definitely be the Blistex, it's so fabulous and smells AMAZING!! 



NOW, for my "how did I live without these before I discovered them?" products!



Lush Lip Scrub in Bubblegum

















A lot of people already know about Lush's lip scrubs (they come in other flavours I don't know exactly what they are though) and it's fab! I don't know how much this was, I can't remember it was so long ago I got it! (and as you can see the packaging is in bits from always bringing it travelling with me), If you don't know about this, then let me tell you how it works... You take a lil bit out of the pot on your finger, and scrub your lips, then lick it off! Tastes unreal, and leaves your lips SO soft!! I usually use it before I apply lipstick so my lipstick has a nice smooth surface and so there's no dry bits on my lips! 




Dr. Lipp, Nipple Balm for Lips!

















THIS STUFF!!! I only came across this product because I got a little free sample with an order from Cult Beauty. This stuff is AMAZING for dry and chapped lips, it is quite thick, but not really sticky and tacky. This is going to be my go to balm forever, seriously. Before buying a full size tub though, I did have a little read up on the product and found out more uses than just lip care which is just brilliant, multi use products get a huge two thumbs up from me! Here are some of the uses for it, as listed from the Dr.Lipp website;
