Carmex Moisture Plus Ultra Hydrating Lip Balm

Carmex Moisture Plus Ultra Hydrating Lip Balm

I’ll let you in on a little secret. No, actually, while I’m at it, I’ll let you in on two - first of all, I’m terrible when it comes to taking care of my lips. I don’t drink enough water for starters, so they’re always dry, and then I don’t use lip balm on them frequently enough to combat the dryness.

Secondly, the tingly-lip sensation I got when I used a Carmex product for the first time kinda freaked me out. And put me off from using their lip balms again. 

BUT I got the Carmex Moisture Plus Ultra Hydrating Lip Balm (what is it with beauty companies and lengthy names nowadays?) in my July Bellabox and since the lip gloss I used daily was running out anyway, I decided to give it a go. And boy, am I glad I did! 

Once I got pass my aversion to the tingling sensation (and, dare I say - actually begin to like it,) it became a daily staple for my lip care routine. I absolutely love the way it goes on and the appearance of naturally healthy lips that it gives. And of course, the softness lasts for the whole day. Unfortunately I haven’t been blessed with the most pigmented lips on the planet, so I tend to avoid clear glosses or balms, but this particular lip balm doesn’t seem to have the thick, waxy texture that some others do and so all I get are lovely, glossy lips without looking washed out. 

I’ve been using this everyday and especially recommend it for those of you who, like me, suffer from Sahara Desert-esque dry lips. As soon as I finish this tube, I’ll definitely be repurchasing! 

The Lowdown: Instantly healthier looking lips with a natural shine and a formulation that will leave your lips feeling soft long after the balm has been washed/eaten/god-knows-what-elsed off. 

Carmex Moisture Plus Ultra Hydrating Lip Balm can be purchased from Priceline, Woolworths, and selected pharmacies and retails for about $6.99 AUD. 

Yay for healthy lips!
