Finally, a lippie that doesn’t make my lips dry!
All the pots of Blistex, Vaseline, and Nivea among others
have failed to nourish my lips and keep the promise on their taunting little
tins! It seems the more I use them, the drier my lips get. I’ve been told in
the past that some lip balms actually contain ingredients that dry your lips so
you buy more. (I’m sorry... What?!)
I am a lover of lipsticks, balms, crayons and tints but this No7 high shine lip crayon £9.00 is really outstanding for me. After Revlon’s lip butters every brand seemed to go mad for a slightly pigmented and moisturising balm that looks effortless and subtle on the lips but to me No7 have cracked the secret recipe!
I love the
shape of the crayon for precise application and flawless touch ups. It applies
like a lipstick, looks like a lip gloss and feels like a moisturising balm! Barry
M have just released their high shine gelly pens but there is something
uncomfortably sticky about them, like a gloss.
The No7 pens don’t feel sticky at all just perfectly
moisturising. Many people may avoid these as the colour does come off sheer but
this is just what I wanted for my everyday lippie! I choose the shade ‘Delicate
Pink’ but just want to go back and buy all of them! Don’t get me wrong I love
my Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate in 101 but throughout the day it does sink
into my chapped lips (not pretty) and as it is a matte look I find it hard to
pull off with dry lips.
Recently to combat my all year round chap problem I have been gently exfoliating my lips every night with a toothbrush and some mint, after this I pat on some coconut oil and hit the sack for a good night’s kip. This has worked a charm but as soon as I apply my daily lip product the moisture is quickly sucked away and back comes the chap, you can imagine how pleased I was to find such a gorgeous product that I can apply every day!
I would recommend this product to anyone and if you are a regular
Boots shopper like me you will know how many No7 vouchers they distribute. I
grabbed this beauty for £6 (cheaper than Revlon!) The shade delicate pink is
ideal for any skin tone but there are bold colours available that would be
great for dressing up a neutral makeup look as they still appear subtle.
My only criticism is they aren’t long lasting, the moisture
last for hours but the colour doesn’t stand up to my chatterbox mouth. However the packaging makes them so easy to
reapply when needed, just a twist of the tube releases more product, no
sharpening needed! I actually picked this up by chance when purchasing the No7
Total Renewal Microdermabrasion face exfoliator but couldn’t be happier with
the results.
Thanks for reading my lip babble! What do you use to keep
your lips luscious?
