Emma Hardie Amazing Lip Balm

If you didn't know it already, I am a huge fan of Emma Hardie Skincare and the much loved and very iconic Moringa Cleansing Balm often features within one of my posts.  New to the Emma Hardie family is the Amazing Lip Balm.

Described as being a deeply conditioning balm, it comes packaged inside the Gold Packaging that we have all come to associate with Emma Hardie products.  The compact itself, which is initialled with EH, is sleek enough to fit into your handbag, better still it also has a mirror within the lid, so it is even more perfect for using on the go.

I am a huge fan of lipbalm and it is something I apply multiple times a day, more of a habit than a need at times, but for me, there is nothing worse than greeting someone who has dry skin all over their lips. The mouth is one of the first things people notice when you greet them, even on Zoom given the current climate.

With Emma Hardie products comes a whole list of amazing ingredients, some more known than others and within this Lip Balm you will find:

• Cocoa Butter which works to reduce dryness and improves elasticity in the skin.
• Shea Butter which soothes irritated and sensitized lips
• Vitamin E which acts as a natural skin-conditioning agent to hydrate the lips
• Volulip from the "Kiss me Quick" plant improves both the internal and external lip texture creating a visibly plumper lip shape.
• Moringa Oil which is one of Emma Hardie's best known ingredients and it works to moisturise
• Peppermint Oil provides a minty scent and taste.

Putting all of these ingredients together, what you get is a really nourshing and moisturising lip balm which, with the addition of peppermint oil gives a really nice feel when it has been applied.  Jan Foulsham who is the Dorector of Emma Hardie Skincare always has a few tips to share with these products.  For the balm they are as follows:

• Use the balm on areas of dry skin to help treat them - cuticles and other rough patches of skin on your hands
• Use the Lip Balm as an overnight treatment to plump and condition the lips
• Apply the Balm on top of your lipstick to give a glossy finish.

So not just a Lip Balm, but one which has other uses too.  It is on sale via the Emma Hardie website for just £14 here and if you need a new Lip Balm, then this is one I would suggest.

NARS 12-Day Lip Advent Calendar 2020

The 2019 NARS Advent Calendar looked pretty epic and try as I might, I didn't manage to get my hands on one, but they are back for 2020 so here's hoping! Inside a gold box, which folds out, NARS have placed 12 full-sized lip products and it is actually quite beautiful and exciting if you love NARS.

As it is NARS, inside you can expect to find a variety of finishes and shades and everything from Lipsticks and pencils to Powermatte Lip Pigments. Price wise? Well currently in the US but hopefully it comes to the UK, it will go on sale for $250 but has an RRP of $316 which isn't too bad in terms of value. 

What’s inside the NARS calendar? If you don't want to know then don't scroll down because everything is listed!  But you can find it here* to be notified of its release.
