The Body Shop Candied Ginger Lip Balm was a limited edition product for Christmas 2011, and I bought it along with the Spiced Vanilla and Merry Cranberry balms. It was originally priced at £4 but I managed to get it cheaper on one of the store's frequent special offers. The balm comes in a tin and you get quite a lot for your money. The design is an orangey-brown background with a paler brown pattern of gingerbread men and what looks like wheat. Based on my experience with previous tins, I didn't put it in my bag in case the lid came off - I kept it at work and used it there. Inside, the balm is a pale brown colour and has a pleasant fresh ginger ...  Read the complete review

I get really dry chapped lips especially when it is cold and windy so I am a little bit obsessed by lip balms and have literally hundreds lying around as I go through them so quickly and am always buying new ones to try them out. I bought the Body Shops candied ginger one as it was one that I had never seen before and after trying it out in the shop I quite liked it.

I bought a Lip Butter from the Body Shop before Christmas time. I was passing the shop and couldn't resist a little look in. I had decided that when I was out I should be picking up a Lip Balm as my Lips were pretty dry and when I saw the Lip Butter range then I thought that would be perfect to try and treat pretty dry lips. I'm sure that any Balm would be good to deal with dryness but I guess the Butter part got me thinking that it would be nice and moisturising (and perhaps a bit greasy too). This comes in a little plastic tub which is pretty sturdy. It makes a change from slicking this on from a tube and I like the idea of dabbing this on with your finger, ...  Read the complete review

I bought this from The Body Shop website during one of their sales. The lip balm was originally £4. There is 10ml of balm in the pot. The lip balm has a strong ginger scent that comes across as a little sickly. It may be a little too sickly for some. Also, it comes in a pot so you have to dip your finger into the pot to apply the balm. This isn't as hygienic as the lip balm sticks. The lip balm is easy to apply though. Simply scoop up a small amount with your fingertip and apply it to the lips. The balm is a little sticky and waxy so you don't need a lot of it. If you use too much it will make your lips stick together! The balm soothes ...  Read the complete review
