LUSH Ultrabalm - Review

I honestly cant get enough of lip balm products, if you were to look inside my bag and pull out every single lip product, youd find more then 6 or maybe 10 :P. Different balms for different days, but lately Ive been loving this LUSH Ultrabalm that I can just spread all over my face like butter. haha.

What LUSH Say's:

" Ultrabalm is bringing petroleum-free lubrication to the nation. This moisturising balm is made with plant waxes and nothing else. No petroleum jelly, no mineral oils, just natural goodness. Our mix of candelilla wax and jojoba oil is a vegan alternative to beeswax; it creates a protective barrier on the skin and locks in moisture, while rose wax soothes irritations. You can apply the balm to scuffs and scrapes to relieve discomfort, use it as a barrier cream when applying henna, or even use it as a lip balm. There's nothing crude about our lube. Ultrabalm is also perfect for babies to relieve nappy rash and hydrate dry skin. "

LUSH

Ultrabalm Lip Balm

45g

RRP: $8.95

 www.lush.com.au

 

Ultrabalm is the perfect all natural substitute for Vaseline & other Petroleum Jelly products. I was recommended this product from the LUSH staff for my flakey, dry flu nose and also for my lips during the Winter time. To be honest, I couldn't thank them enough. Its really helped restore moisture back into my dry areas on my face and for the price of the product, its totally worth it. Only using the smallest amount can really make a huge difference.

 

The product doesn't have much of a scent, its kept very simple and plain, which I personally like. I was very pleased to find out that the formula is kept all organic and natural with only three ingredients: Jojoba Oil, Rose Wax and Candeilla Wax. At first I was thinking about how oily and greasy it would be on my skin, but I was proved wrong. This product absorbs really well and quickly, without leaving your skin feeling oily or greasy.

 

I don't only use this Unltrabalm on my lips, but also on dry areas of my face / body, elbows, heels and also the ends of my hair. Its truly the life saver of all treatments. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that's looking for a replacement for that Lucas Paw Paw haha.

EOS Lip Balm - Sweet Mint Review

I've been wanting to try EOS lip balms for awhile now, but sadly Australia doesn't sell them. I first discovered them when I saw Kim Kardashian & Kylie Jenner post selfies on Instagram with it, then they showed up in Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop" music video.

I brought one for $7.99 off a legit EOS ebay seller, the product was 100% real! i got the Sweet Mint, as mint is perfect for those winter / spring lips that need some extra smoothness during those colder months.

EOS

Lip Balm - Sweet Mint

25oz (7g)

RRP: $7.99

Buy Here:  EBay

EOS stands for Evolution Of Smooth, which is 95% organic, 100% natural, and para been and petrolatum free. Packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, smoothing Shea butter and Jojoba Oil. EOS claims to keep your lips moist, soft and sensationally smooth.

Which I must say it does: with one coat on the lips, it lasts longer then usual lip balms. Leaving my lips very smooth, little shine and doesnt have the oiliness like some other brands. The scent is very pleasant and strong, you can definitely smell the mint, which opens my blocked nose quite well. 

The product itself is shaped like an egg, you twist the lid and you find a little lip balm ball. I find that it's so much easier to apply and very hygienic, as you don't have to stick your dirty fingers into a pot.

I'm loving this lip balm, I can't help myself. I tend to apply it every second, it's crazy. I highly recommend this to anyone that's looking for a new lip balm or just wants to try a new brand. It does come in many other scents, so definitely check them out. I'll be sure to upload my mini EOS haul photo soon.

My 4 Winter Beauty Essentials

Winter is meant to be one of the most fashionable seasons, of endless amount clothes, over sized jumpers, scarfs, knee high boots and even funky prints. but there's nothing worse then getting sick in the first couple of weeks of Winter. I just happen to get caught up in a nasty sickness, of a cold, flu and a sore throat to add to the icing. Ive came up with my own little winter beauty essentials that will get me through this awful weather and also maintain my skin and hair.

St. Ives Apricot Scrub (Exfoliate Your Skin):

$5.95 From Target.

Exfoliate at least three times a week to remove dead skin cells and allow the skin to absorb moisture more effectively. Avoid exfoliates and toners that are high in alcohol, it may feel refreshing, but as alcohol evaporates it strips away moisture. So look for alcohol-free products. Ive been using: St. Ives Apricot Scrub I have been using this product for awhile now, and i can already tell a difference! My face is clear and feels great! I love the smell of it and the texture is great. My face feels smooth, clean and lovely. I also love how it is all natural.

Beeswax Lip Balm Tin (Smooth Lips) :

$7.95 From Priceline

Cracked, peeling lips can be a painful problem in winter, not to mention how un-kissable they look! Use a rich, moisturizing lip balm with vitamin E or coconut oil and apply regularly. Some lip balms also contain tea tree oil, which helps to heal painful cracks. Besides loving my truly Lucas Paw-Paw, ive found my new obsession. Beeswax Lip Balm Tin: This one doesn't feel sticky and I never get sick of the scent - which is a natural pepperminty smell. I also don't feel like I need to reapply it every 5 seconds as with some others as well. I think it's because all the ingredients in it are natural. 

 

Toni & Guy Reconstruction Mask (Harsh Hair):

 

$14.99 From Priceline

colder seasons can be harsh on our hair, If you’re battling with dry, frizzy hair, resist the urge to reach for the hair dryer and GHD as heat treatment will only make things worse. Try to dry and style your hair with a towel, and if you must use a dryer, time yourself and try to use it a little less. For an extra boost treat yourself to a conditioning hair mask at least twice a week. Lately i have been using: Toni & Guy Nourish Reconstruction Mask: This product is by far the best re-constructor there is out there, it has done a fabulous job of my hair and its never felt/looked so good! It gives my hair the boost that it needs, not only does it feel smooth but it looks a lot healthier and stronger. 

Olay Plus Ribbons Moisturizing Body Wash

$8.99 From Priceline

 A great body lotion in the shower every morning or night to help lock in some extra moisture. Look for lotions with wheat bran, olive extract or avocado oil to boost the skin’s moisture barrier. Avoid showering with soap-based cleansers as these can increase itchiness and dry out skin further.The product that gives me results is Olay Plus Ribbons Moisturizing Body Wash: helps skin-nourishing formula provides long-lasting moisture and deeply moisturizing formula nourishes skin with a mouth-watering fragrance.
