When it comes to looking after your skin with regard to UV rays there is a wide range of products to help ranging from creams, sprays, mists, pouches and even wipes. However, when it comes to protecting your lips - which are the most delicate of areas there does seem to be limited products. I spend a lot of time outside even when in the UK I feel the need to use products with an SPF to keep my skin safe and this goes my lips too. I have previously used the Vaseline Lip Therapy formulated to keep your lips safe in the sun (the yellow tin) but find it hard to apply in the heat I wanted something else, so the search began. After having a look in various ...  Read the complete review

Before I went on holiday I was in Boots sniffing at the amazing Hawaiian Tropic sun lotions, when I noticed a 'NEW' Hawaiian Tropic lip gloss. Being a lip care junkie I was immediately attracted to it and it smells lovely so of course I subsequently bought it. *I should point out first of all that the product I have is a little different to the one pictured - mine did not come in a box and it is SPF 25 - not 20 as shown.* So, this Island Berry lip gloss comes in a fairly standard 20ml 'Juicy Tubes' type, er, tube, with a screw top and a slanted application end so it can be applied straight to the lips with no need for an applicator.

A couple of years ago I got sunburnt lips whilst travelling around the West Indies. This was unexpected (as I had stupidly never given my lips much thought when applying sunscreen), uncomfortable and inconvenient.

The lip gloss cost me 99 pence in my local independent chemist for a 20ml tube. If you ...  Read the complete review

I bought this lip gloss, as i hate when the sun causes your lips to dry out and go all cracked, and i am in love with the Hawaiian Tropic suntan lotions and after suns, so this seemed to be the perfect solution. When i wear it, it gives my lips a lovely shine, whilst keeping them incredibly hydrated. The length of time it stays on for really depends on where you are, i wear it occasionally in England it stays on for quite a while, but when i wore it on holiday i did have to reapply it a few times as the sun dried it out. It has a very lovely berry smell but does have a funny aftertaste, and love the idea that im protecting my lips at the same time with ...  Read the complete review
