Spotted this little beauty in Boots the other day.... Spa Paradisa Sweet Coconut Lip Butter. Anything with Sweet Coconut in the title, is put immediately in the basket where I am concerned! Coconut is my most favourite scent for body products....it's divine!
I'm in love with the quirky packaging....makes you instantly think of a holiday in paradise. Certainly something you need here in the UK at the moment, in the midst of this dreary, cold and very unpredictable weather. It is because of this dreadful cold weather that I am even perusing the lip balm stand at all. My lips are suffering badly and constantly need moisturising throughout the day to prevent them from splitting. Oh, the joys of winter!
I usually use Carmex when my lips are really dry, tight and sore. It immediately soothes, and sorts out any problems within a few days. However, lately the scent of Carmex is knocking me sick.....just one whiff makes me feel nauseas (no, I'm not pregnant!), so I have unfortunately, had to move away from it for a while and try other brands.
The balm comes in a cute little metal tin, and it is the perfect size for my pocket or handbag. It smells gorgeous.......of......well yes you already know.....coconut! Funnily enough, I never get bored of a coconut aroma. I'm in olfactory bliss when this is around, and it never makes me feel nauseous, strange!
The lip butter feels lovely on application and is is the perfect consistency, not greasy at all which I love. It stays on the lips for a long time afterwards, and feels really nourishing, moisturising and after a few days of using, my lips feel thoroughly hydrated.
It is enriched with Vitamin E, Shea Butter and is paraben free which is a bonus. I highly recommend!
Sounds lovely! Coconut is one of my fave scents too; I've always thought Carmex smelt like furniture polish :S
ReplyDelete@Beauty's Bad Habit, Completely agree about the Carmex...it works..but stinks! x
ReplyDeleteI had the driest lips in the world for YEARS until I started using Nivea lip balm. I JUST started using it about 6 days please get it now, I've been turning everyone on to it and it is the ONLY one that works. I've tried everything and found it to be mediocre and drying. I'm going to write a review because I am SOOO ... amazed. Instantly my lips were better and now I have plush, normal, moisturized beautiful lips that I used to be confused on how to get them! NIVEA is the answer. By the way I love sweet coconut stuff too heehee and this lip balm is A-dorable. Pick up some Nivea you will not be dissapointed. All of them are great but I am using the Milk & Honee one. O-M-G I just can't SHUTUP about it. I want to spread this msg to the world!!! Lol. Please try it. Xo
ReplyDeletePlease check out my new blog =^-^= would appreciate a follow!
