Product Of The Week #1
A new series on A Yellow Brick Blog is here! A little thought that popped into my head this week - to share 1 product a week that I have found really amazing, useful, helpful or just generally loving.
It might be something brand new, it might have only been used once or twice or it could be something I've owned for years and years (and I'm not just talking about beauty products here!)
It may not be up every week but I thought they would be fun and quick posts for you guys to see and read (kind of a mini review!).
So here we are - #1 of my Product Of The Week and it is....
If you've read my blog in the past you know that I am a sucker for well... more or less all lip products! Balms, sticks, glosses, crayons - I own way too many!
I featured this in my Body Shop haul at the beginning of the year, and too be honest nearly forgot about it until I picked it up and put it in my bag about 10 days ago!
This has a lovely sweet strawberry scent to it (a bit like the strawberry natural collection products from boots) which I love - but it might be an acquired taste.
It is easy to apply and keeps my lips so hydrated! I love popping this on when I'm on a break at work, a nice little pick me up and no drastic colour - just smooth, sweet smelling lips!
These Born Lippy balms don't break the bank either - only £3 each.
I also bought the plum flavoured one which I can't wait to try out aswell, it is safe to say that this stuff is staying firmly in my handbag.

Balmi Moisturising Cute Lip Balm - Strawberry Review
With the weather suddenly taking a major dip in the temperature... it is a bit bloomin' nippy out there - I'm sure, like alot of you, lip balm is now one of my best friends!
I always like to try out new ones out and I'm sure you're all thinking... another lip product? really Kirstie?
But yes, I'm doing it, another post about another lip product is here and this time it is the Strawberry lip balm from Balmi.
I saw this online and I'm not going to lie I was immediately attracted to it because it is fairly new and looks kind of like an EOS lip balm. Something I've been wanting to try in forever and as it was only £4.99 and had a few glowing reviews I thought I'd give it a go!
I bought this from boots.com as they aren't in my local store and aswell as strawberry there are 3 other flavours available - raspberry, mint and coconut.
I was tempted by the coconut (and think I'll order that next) but settled for Strawberry as it's a scent I always like and it had the best reviews.
The smell reminds me of the natural collection strawberry products from boots - you know the ones! Super sweet and fruity, I love it!
Now this is unlike anything I've used before, in a cube container this product is seriously unique.
All you do is twist the top undone to reveal the triangle shaped product. Now this shape looks a little awkward but it actually makes application so so easy. A quick circular motion with it and your lips are fully covered - and this stuff feels lovely.
Probably not the best if you have a seriously bad chapped lips problems (as it isn't a hard core balm like vaseline or carmex) but just for a lip balm to keep you moisturised, smooth and smelling great this product is fantastic. I think I am actually addicted to applying this.
It also comes with a keyring attachment - perfect for keeping it in an easy accessible place in your bag or attached to your keys!
Like I said before there are 3 other flavours so I definitely think I'll either be adding them to my Christmas list (can you believe it's that time already!) or purchasing them real soon!
But what I still REALLY want to try is an EOS.... I think it's time I bought one!
What are your favourite lip balms? I swear I carry about 18 in my bag 24/7 in the winter!
