Kiehl’s Scented Lip Balm #1

I've struggled a lot with dry and hard lips because i lick and rug them so much. I have also tried plenty of lip balms, lip scrubs that have felt good for a day but didn't solve the problem of my dry lips.  I used blistex which dried out my lips completely, nivea which felt super heavy on my lips, paw paw which worked for a day and didn't smell too nice and many more.  I got sent the kiehls mango lip balm and have fallen in love! I've been using this for about a month now and can feel and see results already.  The formula is super creamy, easy to apply and smells Amazing!!! (I own the mango one)  It really absorbs into your lips and makes them feel hydrated. I use one coat in the morning and it makes my lips feel soft through out the whole day.  I will continue to use this in hopes that it wil get rid of the hardness on my lips. 

As far as how this feels on my lips, this would be the most luscious lipbalm I've ever tried. I first tried this years ago & have repurchased it a few times in a variety of flavour options - I find that I especially enjoy using it in the cooler weather, when the thick, rich coating it imparts gives me hydration my lips crave. Unlike other brands I use in a tube i.e. Carmex, Blistex, Nivea etc, this product coats quite heavily with a single swipe.  It leaves a dense coating that feels hydrating & protective from the moment it's applied, and stays feeling that way for many hours. It's truly fabulous if you're outside in cold winter weather & want to really feel your lips can withstand anything the elements throw at them. Definitely will be packing some of these in my luggage when I finally go on that Alaskan cruise that's on my bucket list. It also lasts ages on both levels - on my lips, and the tube itself seems to go on and on and on.  I guess a thick formula means I'm only using a little each time, making it great value for money. I use it minus a lipstick or top product of any sort - it makes my lips look & feel soft & hydrated & is not a formula that I feel would adapt well to a further lip product. The flavours are moderately strong, but not too overwhelming.  I find them to be quite pleasant in taste & smell.  And there's one for every sort of flavour you enjoy ie a variety of fruits and coconut. All in all, this is a lip balm that really shows other lip balms up, in the best of ways.  Once you try it, you'll never go back.

After being a long time user of paw paw and having tried everything in between (Carmex, burts bees, blistex;  the list goes on). I made the change to this lip balm about 6 months ago. It's now one of my HG products! Doesnt leave my lips with the sticky/thick feeling you get with other highly moisturising balms but keeps my lips the softest/smoothest they have ever been, even when working indoors with heating constantly on! Perfect under lipstick, perfect on its own, once you use it you'll never go back. Pear is my favorite!
