The Body Shop Lip Oils

Yesterday I excitedly received a product ive been waiting in anticipation for ages to try- The New Body Shop Lip oils.

 

The 5 flavours, Rose, Mint, Orange, Berry and Coconut  are made from 100% natural ingredients with community fair trade soya oil and organic olive oil- I was sold by the 100% natural part and the fact that it is a roll-on lip balm. I can now say goodbye to sticky balmy fingers now and can instead roll moisture onto my lips with ease!

I must admit, it did feel odd rolling the balm onto my lips- im used to using products with rolling action mainly around my eyes such as the l’Occitane Angelica eye gel.

That said the lip oil was lovely and smooth, not thick and gunky. It gave a lovely delicate and natural sheen to my lips (see photo) whilst leaving them feel really moisturised. Some lip gloss’s and lipsticks leave my lips looking lush but feeling dry, so this was really pleasant.

I particularly liked the Mint flavour which gave a cool sensation when applying and tasted nice too!

Just make sure you don’t go OTT and apply loads, you don’t need it and it will make your lips slippery due to the oil.

You can get hold of these treats for you lips on the Body Shop website for £3 which is a bargain!
