The Born Lippy range by The Body Shop have had an image over haul,
gone are the cutesy fruit prints that featured on the labels and in are graphic pop art designs.
But the glazed cherry on top is that the you can now get the Born Lippy balms in stick form,
perfect for those that loved the Born Lippy range but hated dipping their fingers in a pot.
There is 6 shades in total I plan on collecting them all, much like Pokemon...yes I went there.
Each shade has a colour co-ordinated tube casing with a lip motif, very cute indeed.
The great thing about these balms is not only do they hydrate and condition the lips
but they also add a subtle hint of colour and a light sheen to the lips.
Each shade is also subtly scented which is typical of The Body Shop scent range.
The strawberry version is a mid toned yellow pink that has a sweet strawberry scent,
if you are a fan of strawberry ring pops then you need this in your life, they smell so alike!
Okay the scent is a little artificial but really pleasant and sweet by every definition of the word.
On the lips the shade is subtle and quite light, the sheen is more apparent than the colour
making it perfect to layer over another lip product to add a layer of moisture and shine.
This balm does not heal the lips nor does it have any medicinal purposes not that it claims to,
so if you have really dry or chapped lips you may require something more intense.
I found it to lightly hydrate my lips, comfortable to wear and to last around 2 hours per application.
You can pick this or any of the other 5 shades at your local Body Shop
or via their web store - link 5G/£3 (S)
So glad these are in stick form now! Seems like the colour pay off isn't as intense as it was in 'pot form' though. I'll have to check them out :)
ReplyDeleteThats what I thought but I was like maybe my mind is playing a trick on me as I haven't had a potted one in ages haha! let me know how you get on :)
DeleteEh. I'm not a fan of balms that don't have medicinal properties. But i'm REALLY glad they don't claim to.
ReplyDeleteAgreed 100 billion percent!
DeleteI'm in the market for a new lip balm so I'll definitely check these out xx
ReplyDeleteCool :) there is lots of flavours so to speak of to pick from :)
DeleteAs a self-confessed lip balm addict I'm so happy to see one of my favourite bloggers write a post about a product I'd been contemplating! Great review as always, but I think I'll get through my 19/20 balms before I purchase this x
ReplyDelete19/20 lordy that is a lot of balm haha :)
DeleteHaha it is indeed, and I still have chapped/sore lips. Damn toothpaste allergy!
DeleteI will go and check these out, they sound great and I'm a lip balm junkie. You can never have enough lip balms, haha.

Haha you really can't have to many :)
DeleteYum! I'd probably be stuck on the choice of flavours though. :)
ReplyDeleteTell me about it, the actually smell good enough to eat! :)
DeleteThis is so cute! I want to get a few of these now! lovely blog by the way xoxo
ReplyDeleteI used to use this when it was in pot form but gave it up for that reason and switched to The Body Shop's Hemp lip balm. It's good news that they've switched it from the pot. It's just too sticky and messy otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI agree the sticks are so much better less waste and mess :)
DeleteOh yay, I used to use the potted version but gave up on it! gonna get myself off to get this now!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I awarded you a blog award thingy! http://www.lisaphilbin.co.uk/2012/03/blog-award.html
Thanks Lisa :)
DeleteYes me too mainly due to the sticky finger element and the mess haha :)
the sticks are so much better in that sense :)
I LOVE the smell of these lip balms but I find them so sticky and hate using them :( much prefer the lip butters by body shop! x

LOVE LOVE LOVEEE the lip butters :) I agree the potted ones were a tad sticky but luckily the sticks don't seem to have that problem :)
Deletethis one is nice.. i have one in my purse and if you are on the go.. you can apply this even without a mirror.. well i do apply a lip gloss even without mirror. and you are also. this one smells yummy and taste even yummier :)
