Boots Essentials - Lip Salve in Strawberry

This lip balm it comes in a little strawberry red tube. The balm itself is white but it does go on clear with a nice sheen to it and has a buttery consistency. It does not have SPF but it keeps my lips soft and moisturised for at least a few hours. I probably reapply 3 or 4 times a day.

So this is a product I just picked up as it is a lot cheaper then other brands of lip balm/salve, I got mine about 2 weeks about and i am really loving it, its super nice smell not to much,just right. It really helps your lips feel lovely and soft. The packaging is not that nice to look at but I am not really one for packaging 

These guys are ideal for both men and women with their unisex packaging. They do what they say on the tin - hydrate and protect the lips. There's no fuss to them and like Vaseline, they're a great all-rounder. I always end up buying these when I forget to bring a lip balm out with me! They have a heap of different variations in the range, so there's one for everyone.

The Body Shop - Raspberry Body Butter

  

I've been a fan of the Body Shop body butters for years, and have gone through countless tubs. At the moment I'm using the Raspberry Body butter.

Like all of The Body Shop's body butters, this has a thick, creamy texture which melts on application to the skin. The raspberry body butter is for normal skin types. I find it sinks in really quickly and doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy or sticky.

It has a nice smell, it's my favourite scent from The Body Shop, but it's super  pleasant . Obviously it has a raspberry scent but it also has a toffee-like undertone.

This does leave my skin feeling nicely moisturised and smooth, but I don't find it as moisturising as some of the other body butters from The Body Shop. The Satuma one, is super nice and hydrating and smells like heaven in a tub. This is  perfect for the summer months but I have been using it through the Winter too, as it's not heavy, absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a greasy feeling, however I'll probably try a different one in the Summer with a fresher scent and  when my skin's a bit less dry, as I  think this will be moisturising enough for now. I've enjoyed using this, but although I love The Body Shop body butters, this isn't one I'd repurchase and I much prefer some of the other ones.
