Review : Balmi Lip Balm / EOS Lip Balm Dupe ?
20:23
I
love lip balm. I always seem to reach for a lip balm over any other make up
product and find that it is an essential in my bag.
When I first heard about
Balmi I was very excited as these are very comparable to the EOS lip balms that I have never tried and are less readily available in the UK.
Balmi comes in a spherical
egg like container that twists to reveal the dome shaped balm. It also has an opportunity
to use it as a keyring.This packaging makes
application easy and fuss free and also more hygienic as you don’t have to keep
dipping your finger in.The lip balm contains
UVA/UVB SPF 15 which is a
great bonus, especially in the summer months ( or weeks in Englands’ case).
When I use this I find it
very smooth to apply and moisturising on the lips. I can apply this and after
an hour or so my lips still feel moisturised however you can’t feel or taste
the balm after 30 minutes.
The strawberry flavour is
very pleasant, not sickly and I find is much like the edible paper you can find
on cakes, this isn’t tingly on the lips. The mint flavour is very
tingly and refreshing, much like toothpaste, but isn’t painful.
Although these are not my
favourite lip balm ( I love my Medicated Chapstick for really chapped lips!) , I really like these balms and would consider repurchasing
them in the future or buying them as a gift for somebody as my friends are
often intrigued about them.
