I am becoming a bit of a churner today. I wrote a review about our Christmas tree and then realised that it was an archive category and so not paying. I then decided it was time that I wrote my review about coping with my father's Alzheimer's disease hoping that my own situation might help others. After working on it for an hour or so I found it was posted in yet another archive category! Still that one needed writing so that's not so bad. Now I'll write in a paying category as that is what we're here for whether we like to admit it or not! While we have been staying in Edinburgh I have been able to do something that I can't do in Llandudno and that is to ...  Read the complete review

The Lite lip balm doesn't have cocoa butter in it so I was interested to see how well this would work on my lips. It is a lot less sticky than Lip Service and it does absorb well, however I find that I need so much of this too make my lips feel soft the pot goes down rather rapidly. It has a very subtle smell of roses - great if you like flowers, I don't! I really didn't like this one, I ended up using so much of it to make my lips feel smooth that they turned out really sticky and gloopy! I also really do not like the smell, even though it is subtle I find it yucky. I like to be able to lick the lip balm off my ...  Read the complete review

No matter how well this product might or might not work its main prolem is its price compared with other options, as it is it does not justify the high price tag of £3.50 when you compare it with lip balms for half that price that do just as good a job. This lush lip balm uses a combination of natural products like plant mallow and beeswax and it is designed to protect your lips against the cold and wind and leave them nice and soft. Ideal I guess for all those campaigners funded by the Lush owner who sat out on that cold runway last week and disruped all the flights at Stanstead. The balm itself comes in a small pot with a screw lid and is an off ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this lip balm a while ago now when it was for sale in Lush. It has now been discontinued. My balm came in a small 10g metal tin which had a red logo. It was different to the one above but it was still the same product. The balm didn't have any cocoa butter in it so it wasn't as sticky as some of Lush's other lip balms. The smell of the balm was quite floral and delicate, sort of sweet but a delicate sweet if that makes sense. The colour of the balm was cream and it was suitable for all skin (well, lip) types as it was 100% natural. I found the balm easy to apply. It went on my lips well and it didn't feel sticky or greasy. It left my ...  Read the complete review

The choice of lip balms is pretty bewildering these days, but personally I don't like the more gunky, oil-based products, so I was tempted by the description of Lush's Lite lip balm. It uses plant mallows to provide softness and protection. The balm is a rather unusual texture, feeling slightly tacky on the fingertips. But this aspect seems to disappear when the product is actually applied to the lips, and it feels fine. Your lips do feel nicely moisturised, and slightly plumper. The balm has a pleasant but neutral taste and scent, and would be fine to wear over or under lipstick. Perhaps because of its formulation, I also find it lasts longer ...  Read the complete review
