My Winter Essentials : Lip Balms

Can you believe it's December already? Advent has started - yay! and it's time for another 'Winter Essentials' post!

Lip balms I think are probably on the top of everyones list as a winter essential! Cold weather, air-con and windy wind make our lips chapped, dry and even a bit gross and flaky!

Here's 4 of my top picks for lip balms  - these save me from getting that awful trip-lip that we all dreaded as children.... you know what I mean right?

Vaseline - Limited Edition Queen Bee

Vaseline is a classic, I'm sure 99% of you either own one o these handy tins or have done in the past. This years limited edition is called 'Queen Bee' - I love the name and the packaing alike! The scent is honey... obvs and alot nicer than I was expecting - another one to add to my never ending collection of tins! 

Carmex with Jasmine Green Tea

Carmex is a product I have used for years and years so when I see they've bought out new version I always want to try them out. You may remember me sharing this on here a few months ago! I'm a huge Green Tea fan so this is a win win for me! (plus it's my Mum's fav!)

EOS Strawberry Lip Balm

I got this in Florida along with a blueberry version and they have become a huge favourite of mine! This is the lip balm that is currently in my hand bag! It's easy to apply, smells amazing and keeps my lips hydrated!

Nivea Blueberry Blush Lip Butter

Nivea Lip Butter's have been something I've raved about for months and months. They all smell amazing and are just as good as vaseline for keeping the lips chap-free, smooth and soft! A total bargain too at only £2.20ish each!

Vaseline Limited Edition - Paint The Town Review

Vaseline is one of those products I will always love and own! I've used it for years and years and the amount of uses for this stuff is endless, I always have one in my bag!

So when there are new pots, scents, colours that come out I always want to get involved and try them out.... and this newbie is no exception!

I was browsing the Boots website the other day when I suddenly noticed this - a new Vaseline.
A new limited edition Vaseline! So obviously, I had to order it!
This is the no.3 Limited Edition Vaseline and it is called Paint The Town. It is your usual yummy Vaseline but with a gorgeous red tint for a bit of extra glam!

Now in the tin this stuff looks super bright and a real deep red BUT putting it on your lips is a different story!
It is a very very sheer red - which makes it great for anyone.... especially those who find a bold lip a little nerve-wracking! Like having your usual Vaseline feel but with a tiny bit of glam!
Saying that though there is something which is majorly different..... the scent.
The scent of this stuff is incredible! Like sweets, I cannot explain how much I love it, I can't stop sniffing it everytime I get the chance! I urge you just to go and have a look at this just too have a sniff! By far the best Vaeline scent yet in my opinion!

These pots are £3.49 each and I'm guessing are going to be in most Boots stores (and most likely others too) over the next couple of months! 

If you are a Vaseline lover like myself I highly recommend it, especially with all this cold weather we are having - avoiding chapped lips AND look cute whilst smelling amazing? - deal!
