Todays review features a higher end lip balm that I have been using for the past month or so. The First Aid Beauty lip balm retails for $15 at sephora, and is formulated without parabens, sulfates and phthalates.
It is advertised as a lip treatment that hydrates, nourishes, and protects and is formulated to “bring the healing power of First Aid Beauty’s bestselling Ultra Repair Cream to a balm that moisturizes, nourishes, and protects your lips.”
I have never tried the ultra repair cream from First Aid Beauty, or any other first aid beauty products for that matter (this lip balm is my first!) However I have heard tons of great things and would love to sample more from the brand.
Back to this lip balm: If you read my Maybelline Color Elixir Review you’ll know that I am super picky when it comes to any lip products. I am constantly applying them because the feeling of chapped lips drives me crazy. Because of this I am always scrutinizing lip balms and how well they do their job.
Pros:
– I really like the smell and the taste of this balm. It has a light, sweet minty smell and taste that isn’t too much or too overwhelming .
-The rounded plastic applicator is really comfortable to run over the lips and makes applying the product feel extra soothing.
Cons:
-I find the balm to be quite thick. You really have to squeeze the tube to dispense any product on your lips.
-Although this is a moisturizing balm when first applied, I fell like the moisturization does not last a very long time on me. I find myself having to reach for this to reapply after only about a hour of wear even when I have not been eating or drinking anything.
Conclusion:
Although I think this is a good lip balm, I don’t think it is anything amazing. I will definitely use up the tube that I have but I will not be in a hurry to repurchase once it’s gone.
Thanks for reading 🙂 Please leave any lip balm recommendations that you have in the comments down below, I’d love to hear from you!
Try Luca’s Pawpaw Ointment if you have chronic chapped lips like me!! It’s the best one I’ve tried yet.
