Advantages: ok as a lip balm

Disadvantages: doesn't do what it claims!

This intensive balm claims if you leave it on overnight when you wake up they are meant to be left very soft as it works as an intensive mask.

I know that Johnsons are respected for all their baby products and i use their wipes and a few creams so I thought id give it a go.

Its from the moon care range.

I applied the balm before I went to bed and the first thing i noticed was how bad it tasted, it was almost tasted like the stuff you put on your nails to stop you biting them, it really is a disgusting taste!

The balm itself is in a 15 ml tube with a round applicator. Its a very thick balm and when you put it on your lips it feels very thick and almost uncomfortable, and I felt as though all I wanted to do was to wipe it off.

When I woke up it had all dried into my lips and my lips felt very very dry rather than moisturised and soft!

I can see how it could be a quick fix on a cold day if you had chapped lips where its so thick but to leave on overnight as a mask just dries the lips out.

It stayed quite thick on my lips for quite a while and I felt I couldn't get my lips near the pillow as the balm would go all over it!

Its clear in colour and has a matte type finish.

I bought this product for around £1.40 so it isn't too expensive if it was to do what it claims but its a bit pricey for just a lip balm

Summary: i didnt realise a lip bal could dry your lips out!
