Review: Shell Lip Balm

I'm one of these girls, who must always have a lip balm everywhere I go. Lip balms, I think, are an absolute essential. Especially for me as I tend to always have dry lips during both winter and summer months. It's annoying, but nothing that a good lip balm won't sort out.

When I was looking for a knew lip balm saw one of these gorgeous shell lip balms handmade by the brand owner, I was extremely excited. Not only is it such a lovely, unique idea, but i saw how adorable they were! Each shell is individually sourced from the beach, and the lip balm itself is handmade from all the most beneficial and organic ingredients. The balm contains coconut oil, rosehip oil, beeswax, lanolin wax, jojoba oil, macadamia oil and mango seed butter. As well as containing everything that a good lip balm requires. It's not a lot of good having a gorgeous shiny shell balm sitting pretty on your dressing table, or being elegantly pulled from your handbag if it's not actually going to nourish or moisturize your lips. I think the scent and flavour of the balm is mostly unscented, although it probably does have that slight beeswaxy scent to it. I think it would be amazing if they branched out and offered various different flavours to choose from, as I personally would prefer something a little more fruity.

I think these shell lip balms are such a cute idea. Every girls needs a lip balm right, and why not a high quality one inside a naturally sourced shell WITH a mini mirror? If not for yourself, I think they'd make the perfect gift. There are 4 shell styles to choose from; Tiger crown, White frangipani, Mocha and Oriental fan, and they each cost £12.99 and are shipped in their own little grey drawstring bag. There is currently an offer on their website where you can buy 2 for £22, so that's one for you, and a present for someone else.
