#LipGlam - Review

Hi Everyone!

I was lucky enough to meet the brand #LipGlam at the Bloggers Love Fashion Week event last month. 

A story you may, but probably haven't heard me tell is that of the demise of my favourite lip balm, the Anatomicals 'Stop Cracking Up' lip balm at the hands, or rather the paws, of my cat Freya. I took this lip balm everywhere with me as I found it to be unraveled. It was while I was sat on the sofa, lip balm (& cat) on the side table that it happened. Freya likes to bat things about with her paws & decided to take a break from playing with the coasters & instead focus on my lip balm. This game didn't last long on the table before it found its way to the floor. All of a sudden I heard a crash & Freya shot upstairs. The lip balm was nowhere to be found & Freya remained in her basket upstairs for the rest of the day.

So now you know the story of the lip balm. I still am yet to find it despite my husband's & my best efforts to find it. I went to repurchase it but it is no longer stocked in Selfridges stores. You'll now understand my pure delight when I tried the #LipGlam lip balm*.

My first application was not a pleasant one it has to be said, but that was because I applied WAY too much & got a lot of it in my mouth - it doesn't taste nice & leaves a lingering aftertaste. It did however, really moisturise my lips, which were very dry at the time. Subsequent applications were just as impressive.

I found the product to be very 'stiff' to get out of the packaging. My initial thoughts were that this must have been down to the product being new. There are instructions telling you to warm up the tube in hot water for 1 minute if the product is cold or hard. I assumed that this would be something I only needed to do once, particularly as my bedroom is often rather warm. The application of the product warm definitely gives the best results/experience, but isn't practical when out & about. I felt a little disappointed by this, a feeling that quickly passed when I reminded myself that the lip balm works very well regardless!

I found that when I put the #LipGlam lip balm on in the morning before my shower & then cleaned my teeth, there was still a significant amount of product left on my lips!

I am so glad I've finally found something to replace my Anatomicals lip balm! the #LipGlam lip balm can be purchased for £9.99 from Birchbox, Forever Beaux, Magpie Beauty & Avenue22.

Have you tried #LipGlam?
