Kiehl's lip balm




While I was in America last summer I decided to finally visit Saks 5th avenue and I naturally went to the beauty counter and bought this lip balm in hue no. 58B.  It is available at £12.50 but I’m sure I bought this for $9.50 but I can't remember anymore.

  It is more or less coloured petrolatum based balm in a white tube and it is 15ml of product which is a fair amount.  It is scented and this may be a problem for some people but I personally like the scent - it is really really sweet smelling. 

This was great for the winter as it is SPF 15 and protected my lips but still gave them a rosy glow.





 It isn't as good of a lip balm as my trusty carmex but I’m willing to look beyond that and my next item on my wish list will be kiehls #1 lip balm.

Rimmel stay glossy

Rimmel stay glossy lip gloss in 'all night long'


GOOD THINGS........ shiny and glossy and very pigmented :)
BAD THINGS........... Doesn't last very long :(


Packaging..........
The lip gloss comes in a 5.5ml clear  tube with a  large silver screw top handle. The handle is a good size to aid in the application of the gloss and it also has a  indented area for you to put your finger and thumb in the area, again  good for applying it as many lip glosses have very flimsy applicators.
The applicator is spongy, starting off at the top quite thick, going downwards into a flatter section at the tip.
What they claim......
Style. Shape. Shine. Stay Glossy delivers on all three with a fantastic new formula and applicator combo, custom-designed for fabulously luscious lips that last, and last, and last.Stay Glossy delivers on all three with a fantastic new formula and applicator combo, custom-designed for fabulously luscious lips that last, and last, and last

The lip gloss..........

I really like this gloss! I like the colour, it’s an intense maroon-ish red but it's actually quite wearable, and nicely glossy and plumping. It was £5.99 which I think is expensive for a Rimmel lip gloss but then I guess high street  make up is going up in price generally
