Now that the nights are getting dark and the temperature is dropping it's time for me to find a decent lip balm. Now I've tried a wide selection and the problem is they only work for a short amount of time. So the money spent has been completely pointless. It is probably the only product which I buy according to the brand. Aside from now that is. The Boots Essentials lip balm comes in two other flavours as well as strawberry. Them being original and spearmint. Not liking mint, this was the obvious choice for me. It comes in a little plastic tube, just the same style as your average lipstick. Whilst the packaging is a deep pink the actual balm is ...  Read the complete review

As anyone who regularly reads my reviews knows - I use a lot of lip salve! I cannot stand my lips being dry and I suffer from this problem all year round in sun, wind or in doors in the central heating. I find myself constantly licking my lips and then wiping them dry which just makes my lips feel even worse. Consequently I have a collection of various lip balms in drawers around the house and more in my handbags. The one that I am currently using is Boots Lipsalve in the Strawberry flavour and it cost me the princely sum of 99p! It is also available in spearmint, original and lemon flavours - there may be more but these are the ones that I have ...  Read the complete review

This lipsalve has to be one of my ultimate childhood memories- purely because of the amount of my friends (who were very young at the time) who found out that lipsalve does not taste at all like it smells! It costs 99 pence from Boots and apart from strawberry you can also buy a range small range of other 'flavours' and an original version that contains sun protection factor 15 and all have been dermatologically tested. The lipsalve comes in a little tube that is 7cm long and lid forms the largest part of the packaging, which is good if you need to use it whilst you're skiing or walking because it's easy to use with gloves on. Lipsalves with tiny little lids ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to products to protect my lips I dont think you can ever have to many. And a few weeks ago when I was clearing out my many make-up boxes and cases I found about 20 that I havent used for a while so I thought Id start reviewing them and hopefully throw a few of them out in the process - only the rubbish ones! So I thought Id start with this 'Boots Lip Salve Strawberry' which I picked up just before Christmas when I was simply wondering through Boots not looking for anything in particular. My main lipbalm (The Bodyshop variety) works really well for me but lately Ive been looking for something cheaper that hopefully has the same effects and results and I was .  Read the complete review

I often end up with a few lip-balms lurking in my make-up bag, handbag and bedside drawer at any one time. Lypsyl always used to be the standard one I used, and I've also tried ones that are tinted, ones that also act as a lip-gloss, and ones that are intensive moisturisers, etc. Boots Lipsalve is definitely my favourite, though. It only costs around £1 for a stick, and they're available even from small branches of Boots, although seemingly not on the website, which is odd. Although this review is for the strawberry salve (in a pinkish red tube), it also comes in spearmint (green), 'original' (blue) and sunblock (yellow) varieties. When it's ...  Read the complete review
