Available in five different shades and flavours, each tube of joy is packaged in matching soft, pastel shades and delicious scents, offering a fabulous multi sensorial experience.

Formulated with a cocktail of minerals sourced from falling stars (yeah I know, but seriously!), fruit oils, conditioning butters, hyaluronic acid and coconut water, these balms instantly plump and perfect, restoring your lips to their perfect pillowy glory.

Whether you’re after a natural looking balm or prefer a splash of sheer colour, there’s a balm for you.

Original: Sheer, slightly iridescent sheen. Fruity and transparent in colour.

Mango Kiss: A soft peachy coral with a tropical twist.

 

Cocoa Kiss: A warm, nudey orange with soft notes of chocolate.

 

Banana Kiss: A Soft, pastel yellow with a comforting mellow banana scent.

I wish I could explain adequately just how incredible each and every balm smells. Soft and sensual, natural and not at all overpowering, their scents are simply just delightful.

Each balm boasts a rich, creamy, decadent texture that is neither sticky or heavy and gloopy.

 

Silky and soft, lightweight yet rich, the balms glide across your lips with ease, instantly plumping and flooding your lips with much needed long-lasting moisture.

The balm’s features a wonderfully soft applicator nib which makes applying them a pleasure, plus their shape ensures precise and even distribution.

The shades visible through the tubes are actually far more sheer when applied, making them perfect for popping over the top of lipstick or even worn alone for a little colour lift.

Comfortable to wear and non sticky or claggy, they hug your lips, creating a subtle sheen while plumping and perfecting your lips for a fuller pout.

Beautiful, delicious and effective, these balms are up there on my lip-balm-o-meter radar for sure!

Too Faced’s Pillow Balm Lip Treatment’s are available now and cost £18 each.

Fillerina Lip Volume Grade 3

 A full pout and big, volumised lips have never been so desired as now.

Thanks (in part) to the influence of social media along with the readily available means to inflate ones lips, lip fillers are becoming ever more popular.

I’ve even given lip fillers a go and while I enjoyed the results, they are not permanent, the fillers can be very expensive and as with all cosmetic procedures, it doesn’t come without risks.

So, how can one enjoy plump, full lips without going down the route of cosmetic procedures?

Well, lip plumpers are certainly one option but often they contain ingredients that irritate the delicate skin on your lips which causes a reaction, resulting in a fuller pout.

Not ideal right.

Well, thanks to Fillerina there is now another way. A way which wont cause any pain or discomfort whatsoever.

Say hello to Fillerina’s Lip Volume Grade 3.

This slightly medical looking but entirely non-scary volumising lip treatment helps to plump and hydrate using an innovative blend of 6 hyaluronic acid molecules of varying molecular weights.

As you may know, hyaluronic acid is a key component in many skincare products thanks to its capacity to retain large quantities of water to leave your skin moisturised and plump for hour after hour.

In terms of its effects as a lip treatment in works in the same way, promoting  volumised, firm, toned and plumped lips.

Hyaluronic acid come in an array of molecular weights, with certain weights able to penetrate more deeply into your skin, and this treatment contains six, ensuring your lips are plumped from the surface, way down to the deeper levels of your lip tissue.

Suitable for all skin types, the Grade 3 range has been specifically created as an anti-ageing collection for moderate signs of ageing.

The targeted products within this collection tackle wrinkles, sagging skin and loss of density to prevent and reduce the signs of ageing and each Grade 3 formula has been inspired by aesthetic medicine and harnesses Fillerina’s dermatological expertise to enhance skin’s vitality and glow.

In terms of the treatment itself, it is clear in colour and possesses an almost lightweight gel consistency.

Housed within a compact, fuss-free cooling rollerball applicator, simply push down on the opposite end of the applicator until the product is released.

Glide the rollerball across your lips to apply an even layer to clean, dry lips and ensure that the product has been fully absorbed before applying your lipstick/gloss etc.

Unlike traditional plumpers, you won’t feel anything when you apply this treatment.

The gel is silky, smooth and water-like in its density.

Quickly absorbed, you may be left feeling slightly underwhelmed.

Don’t be.

 

If you use the product correctly, around 5 times per day for a month you’ll certainly notice the difference.

Over time, my lips have both looked and felt fuller and even fine lines around my mouth appear to have improved.

It is important to note that you should ensure that you’re drinking your daily quota of water throughout the course of the treatment to ensure best results, but it really is as simple as that.

Priced at £60 it may sound like an expensive product, however if you compare this to the price of lip fillers its actually a bargain.

Plus, you will not have to experience the pain of having a needle inserted into the delicate skin of your lips or the worry of any potential reactions because hyaluronic acid is a substance that is actually naturally present within your own body.

If you’re committed to achieving a fuller, more volumised pout then I highly suggest you try this product.

Fillerina Lip Volume Grade 3 is available now from escentual and costs £60.

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Lip Pop

My obsession with the fun and fruity brand Glow Recipe continues with the launch of their latest product, their Watermelon Glow Lip Pop (£19.50)

Allow me to introduce you to my lips new best friend.

This multi-tasking tube of pure pink joy is so much more than just a lip balm, lip scrub or lip colour.

It is in fact, all three.

God I love a multi-tasking product!

Watermelon Glow Lip Pop gently and effortlessly helps to exfoliate your lips, imparts a splash of intensely nourishing hydrating AND leaves a subtle pop of pink colour on your lips.

Do not mistake the simple, fuss free packaging as a reflection of a simplistic product because this is far from being a one dimensional balm.

This pretty pink product has been formulated (unsurprisingly given its name) with Watermelon Extract, known for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties which helps to hydrate and deliver vitamins to your skin.

Cold-pressed Watermelon Seed Oil and Vitamin E locks in moisture, ensuring lips are left feeling soft and supple all day long while edible AHA extracts derived from Hibiscus, Wild Pansy and Hawthorn gently smooth, soften, and hydrate your lips.

The exfoliating element of the lip pop comes in the form of Coconut Flower Sugar which gently exfoliates your lips to remove dry, dead skin while pampering and preventing further dryness and flaking.

It sounds fabulous, but how does it actually work and how can it be a rinse-free exfoliator, balm and tint all in one in?

Well, as you can see from the photos the balm contains tiny grains of the coconut sugar mentioned earlier. Upon application, you’ll notice the sensation of an extremely gently exfoliation as the grains get to work buffing away dry skin.

After application, rub your lips together and notice that the sugar grains have melted away, leaving behind a silky smooth, soft and hydrating balm.

Hence no need to rinse off!

Despite appearing clear on your lips after initial application, very quickly you’ll begin to notice the colour develop.

Formulated to adjust to the unique pH of your lips, you’ll be left with your very own personal pink tint!

Soft, silky and comfortable to wear, the balm hugs your lips without slipping, sliding or transferring horribly and leaves your lips feeling comfortable and looking beautifully plump and healthy.

Did I mention it smells like fresh, fruity and delicious watermelon?

Just when I think Glow Recipe couldn’t get any better they keep launching products that continue to blow my mind and expand my beauty fruit bowl!

Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Glow Lip Pop is available now and costs £19.50.

Dr Lipp CBD Superfood Beetroot Tint

 Say hello to the latest hero product from Dr Lipp.

First came the CBD Calm Balm (which I absolutely love and highly rate) and now they've launched a new tinted version.

CBD Superfood Beetroot Tint has been created to offer superiour nourishment paired with a pop of gorgeous, natural colour.

100% natural, this luxurious, multi-purpose balm has been infused with 50MG of broad-spectrum CBD Oil to offer superior hydration and nourishment while easing inflammation.

There are so many things that make this balm special but most notable is the fact that they can boast a decadent formula comprising of just 7 natural ingredient.

The star of the show is Lanolin & Lanolin Oil.

Made from Australian free roaming sheep's wool, lanolin is almost identical to our skins natural oils.

The wool is rinsed to separate the wool from the pure, raw Lanolin before it is then cleansed again and and again to the highest medical grade standards, making sure the smallest particles from environmental pollutants are also extracted.

Next is the oh-so-trendy CBD element.

Cannabidiol is the oil extracted from the leaves and stems of the Cannabis plant with THC levels below 0.03% as directed by the EU and USA Cosmetic Regulations. 

The CBD oil used within the balm is 100% natural, organically grown and GMO free. 

It's potent, ultra-rich, conditioning formula helps to ease inflammation, calm and soothe all skin types while it's anti-inflammatory and healing benefits can be used to help relieve dryness all over your body, from hands and body to your face and of course, your lips.

The balm contains a natural preservative made from organically grown and GMO free Elderberries.

This element ensures that your balm

Is protected from bacteria.

Due to the tint within the balm, this balm possesses another natural preservative called Distarch Phosphate which is made from organically grown and GMO free Corn Starch.

The purpose of this element is to help the pigments stay evenly suspended within the balm for beautiful, natural looking, even coverage. 

Onto the colour of the balm itself. As you may have guessed, it comes from organically grown and GMO free Beetroots. 

This plant pigment is rich in natural antioxidants which are great for your skin. 

Beetroot is basically a superfood for your skin, so you'll not only be receiving a beautiful deep red tint, but you'll be protecting and pampering your lips while looking gorgeous. 

Finally, the balm contains two types of Vitamin C- Citric Acid which is made from both fruit and plants and Asorbic Acid which is made from only Citrus fruits. 

Powerful antioxidants, they work together to help nourish, renew and calm dry, chapped skin.

They also slow the deterioration of the natural plant pigment suspended within the formula and help to balance the PH value of the balm overall. 

And that's all you'll find inside this beautiful pink tube of joy.

I've genuinely yet to find another lip balm that even comes close to comparing to the nourishing, long lasting effects of Dr Lipp.

The balm is deliciously rich and sleek, offering intense moisturisation with a high shine finish.

Comforting without feeling sticky or heavy, it conditions your lips for hour upon hour, and as a long-term fan of the product, I can notice the difference between the CBD infused balms and the original.

They feel ever-so-slightly lighter and silky without compromising on their richness. 

The gorgeous pigment in this CBD Superfood Beetroot Tint adds an extra special dimension, allowing you to create a natural "no make up" look by breathing life back into and creating the appearance of healthy, rosy looking lips.

I absolutely love this latest addition to Dr Lipps range of balms and I'm convinced you will too.

Dr Lipp's CBD Superfood Beetroot Tint is available now and costs £10.99.
