I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- Unhygienic because have to dip fingers into product
- The Raspberry Rose one is not pleasant to use in the evening before bed because it has a bit sickly smell, also for day it doesn't even tint lips even though it has this pink color
- I don't think they are that moisturizing, they are good for slightly dry lips for a moment, but the effect goes away quite soon and lips don't stay moisturized/soft after that (but they are not painfully dry anymore)
+ Actually a lip balm that didn't seem to make my lips dry in the long run! Quite many do with frequent use and even right after you apply them
+ Nice, soft, smooth
+ The tins are cute, I'll give them that!
+ They are easy to carry around, the size and shape are nice for pockets

* These lip butters are good but not irreplaceable, anyway they're not for cracked lips, then you need something more heavy duty like Bepanthen.
* I think the Raspberry Rose one I regret buying, because it's scented and colored I can't even use it for hand/nail balm because I don't want to swim in that smell. Original version works for that very well!
* The question is really, maybe I could just use vaselin instead of these? Lately, or actually for a while, I've used L'Occitane's Shea Butter and it's been excellent, I quite enjoy its thickness more than these Lip Butters that are thinner
Price:
Maybe about 4 € / 19 ml
Bought from:
Grocery store
Buy again?
Might be discontinued? If not, the original version maybe, depending what it really cost. Raspberry Rose, no.
Worth the money?
I think they cost a bit more than I would have liked for lip balms but as you can see I still haven't even finished them so they last a long time. Or maybe they last a long time because I still rather went for Bepanthen.
