Hello there and welcome
to my first ever product review, yay! I’m so excited to officially start my blog and I
hope you will come back again and again to read more reviews heading your way. So let’s not waste any time and get down to
business!
Lately I’ve seen so many bloggers rave
about this product, that I just had to try it myself (the tins are just so damn
cute!). I was staring at the lip balm display for quite some time, trying to
decide which one I wanted to try out first.
The Labello
Lip Butters comes in 3 flavours:
♥ Original
♥ Raspberry
Rose
♥ Vanilla
& Macadamia
Since I absolutely LOVE anything
vanilla, the Vanilla & Macadamia one was the winner. I must confess, I was
a bit disappointed when I opened my tin. To me it smelled more like coconut and
nothing like vanilla… sigh
Thankfully the texture made up where
the vanilla lacked. It has a creamy, smooth texture and not greasy or sticky at
all. It also gives a nice glossy, clear finish when applied to your lips. The
lip butter also doesn’t taste like anything and the scent isn’t as strong on your
lips.
Price: R29.95 each
for 19ml (I bought mine at Checkers, but you will probably find them at Clicks
or Dis-chem, as well). If you'd like to purchase it online, head over to Dis-Chem Online
The other day I was watching Dr. Oz (I
must confess, I’m a little bit obsessed with his show), when I learned that
applying too much lip balm can actually cause more harm than good. You are
supposed to only apply lip balm a max of 3 times per day, anything more can
cause an addiction… say whaaaaaat?
The science – The cells on our lips
are designed to shed and make new ones. When you apply a lip balm, it blocks
the shedding process and slows down the production of new cells, so your lips
can’t perform its natural rejuvenation ability. Now imagine what will happen
you are applying lip balm constantly…
The good news is that these babies
comes jam packed with shea butter (dr. oz approved) and almond oil for long
lasting moisture. Since summer is fast approaching, it would have been an added
bonus if these lip butters contained some SPF (are you taking note Labello?).
We all know our SA sun can be quite harsh at times. The tin will also last you
quite some time as you only use a small amount for each application.
♥ Final
rating: ♥♥♥
(3/5)
The lip butter lacked vanilla and SPF.
Not a bad product, but I have tried lip balms that are more effective at moisturising my lips.
♥ Repurchase: Maybe,
but probably the original flavour.
