Oh how I love this beautiful balm. I love it so much I bought a back-up, which is a little crazy considering my out of control lip balm collection.
There's so much to love, the beautiful texture, the gorgeous flavour and how great it makes my lips feel.
This is designed to be a lip plumper and to reduce fine lines around the lips. It can also be used around the eyes and on other dry patches. I have only used it on my lips, so can't say how effective it is as a multi purpose balm.
The reason I didn't give Lippe five stars is two factored. Firstly, the tube is short and chubby so not convenient for carrying in my pocket. Secondly, I used it up so quickly. I only used it whilst I was at home (so probably three times a day or less) and it was gone within a month.
If it wasn't for those two factors I would have given it five stars.
Aside from the gorgeous buttery texture, the flavour is wonderful, it leaves my lips tasting beautifully sweet even after the balm has worn off.
I didn't notice any reduction to the lines around my lips, however I wasn't really applying it to those areas. With my next tube I'll apply it on my lip lines and see if it makes a difference.
I also didn't notice any plumping effects, but really, what balm does plump? If you know of a lip balm that really does plump lips I'd love to hear about it!
