Last week I ordered this lip balm from bobbi brown. I figured I might as well take advantage of the free shipping and the samples.
Although this balm is definitely a necessity, I bought it mostly because it was one of the few things I could afford ($17). After getting home and opening the package, I saw it is a little smaller than what I thought I would get. It is 15g in comparison to my Rosebud Salve which is 22g. But, there are a lot of really great, high-quality moisturizing ingredients in this balm like jojoba oil, olive oil, and lavender.
I like the texture of this balm, it is very fine and smooth and really sinks in to make my lips soft as opposed to sitting on top of my lips without being absorbed. Combine that with SPF and I say this balm is a definite winner. I think it is definitely worth it despite the high price, but we'll see how it performs on a day-to-day basis and I will keep you posted!
On another note, the mini crystal gloss sample was a little disappointing. It looks like the clear gloss I used to buy from the drugstore in high school, but as I haven't even tried it yet I probably shouldn't judge. The other two samples I got are the cleansing oil (which I'm dying to try) and the luminous moisturizing foundation.
Happy almost-Friday! love, iCandy
