Chapstick Lip Balm with SPF4

This is a complete waste of my S$3.  I’m throwing this yucky stuff away.  It’s THE WORST I’ve tried so far.  Smell, taste, texture.  Everything.  How can the others have good things to say about this?  Sometimes cheap is really bad.  Okay, let’s not waste any more space here.

Bourjois Parisian Chic

I’m so taken by the packaging of Bourjois’ new range of eye makeup and lipsticks.  Pretty!  Especially their new Petit Guide de Style which comes in six pretty booklets, each consisting of a pair of eyeshadow and liner complete with eye makeup tips!  At S$23 plus a 20% discount from a special promotion, I just couldn’t resist getting the shell pink and dark violet named Coquette Rosette.  

Za Vitamin Lip

The packaging for this lip balm reads really impressive. 

  • Citrus flavour with pure Vitamin C
  • Vitamin E
  • SPF 26 PA+++ UVA/UVB
  • Dermatologist-tested.

And at S$6.90 for a 4.5g, why not?

So I gave it a try and got a nasty surprise.  How can they say that this lip balm is citrus flavour?  I can’t for the life of me make out the flavour but it is salty (yes salty) to the tastebud and smells funny.  Not exactly awful, but it isn’t pleasant either.  In fact, after my first trial, I threw it in my drawer and refused to touch it for days. 

Natural fun lip balms

Remember my last entry on Lots of lippy fun at My Lip Stuff?  I’m delighted to report that I’ve very pleased with the six naturally flavoured lip balms I’ve tried and will not hesitate to recommend this to anyone who is into pampering their lips.  These lip balms are truly irresistable!

Great texture
The texture of each My Lip Stuff lip balm is just right with moisture-packed natural butters, oils and beewax ingredients.   I would put it slightly above The Body Shop Vitamin E Lip Care SPF 15 and Neutrogena Lip Moisturizer SPF 15 which I love.  No heavy waxy feeling and works great with my lipstick.
