With the cold weather beginning to set in so my need for a good supply of lip blams starts to grow and this particular lip balm from the Boots Number 7 range is a good product however it is a bit hard to get hold of in the store so you may have to look online for it. Priced around the £10 mark this is not the cheapest on the market but it is good quality and has a great moisturising quality to it.

There are a number of shades to choose from and I opted for a pale pink colour which suits my complexion, although the colour is very subtle it is still nice and rich and the gloss effect leaves my lips looking very full and soft. There is also a slight glitter effect to the blam that gioves my lips a little extra sparkle however just like the colour this is quite a subtle effect and you will not be left looking like Jesse J.

The plastic tube that the balm comes in is clear so you can see how much of the product you have left. To apply the balm you simply squirt a little bit onto the tip of your finger and then smooth it into the lips, this I find easier than using the plastic tipped applicator which is a bit rigid and not so easy to use as it seems to release too much balm which is wasteful and a bit messy.

There is a smoothness about this balm when applying it that I really like, it has a nice thick texture which means you do not need to use a lot of it for a single application. The look of my lips is really good, they are moist and full which a nice tint of colour to them. It also alsts a long time on the lips, a good three or four hours by my reckoning which helps spread the cost a bit.

Overall this is a good product and I'm pleased with the results.
