This is a truly beautiful balm. It's a luxury product but worth every cent. Mine was a gift from my beautiful Emma, I used it sparingly to savour it, until the boys discovered it and fell in love. They used it up within a week!
As much as I didn't want them using my precious balm, it did wonders for Chai. He licks his lips so gets really dry, sore lips that usually take weeks to heal, even with lip balm applied every few hours. Using the Chantecaille balm his lips were healed in five days, the fastest they've ever been healed. Magic!

Rich in macadamia oil, shea butter, vitamin e and aloe, with rose and lavender flowers, Lip Potion heals and regenerates. It's one of the best healing lip balms I've ever used.

The texture is very unique, it's so soft that you'd expect it to be in a tube. It would be so much better if they did release it in a tube, the pot is bulky and the lid opens easily so you can't carry it around in your handbag. I only used mine at home, due to those factors. If it came in a squeeze tube it'd be perfect. 

If you're in the market for a luxe lip balm or searching for a present, Lip Potion is worth a look!

If you like this, try: Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask, Lanolips, By Terry Baume de Rose.

Ingredients: It's a mystery. They aren't listed on the pot and I couldn't find them online either. 

This is a beautiful balm and I'm so sad it was discontinued. I'm not sure it was ever available in Australia, I bought mine online from the US. It was a beautiful, rich night time lip treatment, I'd layer on a thick layer at night and wake up with soft, hydrated lips.

It's quite similar to the Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask, so if you're looking for a good night time balm give that a go.

I'm obsessed with anything that smells like roses, especially lip products. Do you remember the rose scented Juicy Tube? 

Glam Balm Lip is a rose lovers heaven, it smells beautiful. If you've been lusting after By Terry's Baume de Rose but can't afford it, try Glam Balm Lip. It's not as good but it's a great alternative. 

If, like me, you wear lip balm more than lipstick or gloss, this is a great one because it has a soft, shiny finish which makes it look like you're wearing a gloss. It works really well over lip liner or lip stains too, and the top is a mirror which is ideal for touch ups on the go.
