Advantages: Striking smell

Disadvantages: Expensive

As previously described this product is found in most high street pharmacies - boots, superdrug and local independent stores. It is on the expensive side of lip balms at £2.40 plus. It is packed protectivly though, being on a sealed backing card, so you know no-one else hasa hair their mucky little fingers in!

I like the packaging on this product - it has a nice retro feel, the acid yellow and simple graphics really help it stand out. being so bright i can find it easily in my handbag (where the balm lives).

as you can see from the picture this lip balm also has 15spf - not something you can usually find in balm, most of them seem to attract the sunshine! no lip cancer for me.

it also contains salicylic acid - a dream in the fight agaist dead skin.

the smell of this balm is not a sweet cherry - more like cherry tunes! but i like the more medicinal scent, if it was sweeter i think i would find it sickly.

instructions say apply freely to chapped lips. i would agree this is the best way to use it. i think a pot applying 3 times a day would last a couple of months. i do find it hard to judge though as i am always losing them and buying different ones!

i am on my second pot, so the price has not put me off at all. i've never seen it on special offer. my lips are in excellent condition. and other people often comment on the scent and seem to like it.

i would reccommend this product to anyone looking for a new balm.

Summary: Your lips are worth it
