Beauty Pie Shine Up Lip Colour Balm

I have been a member of Beauty Pie for quite some time now, I wrote a post about what and who it is, the benefits of joining and why I joined, plus there is also an offer available to anyone who wants to try Beauty Pie for a few months, giving you your first month free.  As part of my membership, I did quite a big haul a few months ago of a few products I had my eye on, the Beauty Pie Shine Up Lip Colour Balm being one of them.

I am a big of lip products right now, the joy of not having to wear a mask as often as I did, means I can start wearing lipsticks and lip colours again without the fear of removing my mask and having them smudged around my face.

In a race for the ultimate ‘always in your pocket’ lip product. 

These are top of the grid for gorgeous luscious lips in a minute. One-stop do-it-all dream lip balm sticks, with moisturizing, high-cushion, sheer, brilliant colour that simultaneously softens and soothes.

That was essentially what sold this product to me, the one-stop-do-it-all lip balm stick which is as moisturising as it is pigmented, the only problem I had was choosing between the five available shades because they are all absolutely stunning and they are:

• Berry Jane - a deep berry
• Love.Love.Love - a light nude
• Baby Bare - a sexy nude
• Super Juicy - a bright coral
• Sexy Berry - a Rose Pink

I opted for Sexy Berry which is described as being a Rose Pink shade and definitely the shade of lipstick I would usually choose to wear on a daily basis because it works with absolutely everything.

Described as being a 3-in-1 balm, this colour and conditioning shine lipstick and on the lips, as you can see from the swatch, which is unedited, it gives a really good wash of colour and it definitely has that balm feel to it as it is applied. It is formulated without the use of talc but does have three main ingredients which consist of a Plant-Oil Jelly Formula which is incredibly soft and soothing, Phytosqualane whose job it is to help to support the lip barrier and then finally Myrrh-Resin Extract which helps to visibly plump the lips.

I have become such a huge fan of this Shine Up Lip Colour Balm and wear it most days because I love the colour pay-off and that it feels much more like a lip balm than it does a lipstick.  The best part is that as a member of Beauty Pie, it cost me just £5.10 instead of the typical price of £20, which is what you would pay for this product if you wanted to purchase it without signing up to Beauty Pie as a member.

If you are thinking about becoming a Beauty Pie member, then I have a referral code that gives you your first month free, starting from when you place your first order and it gives me, should you use the code, a top up on my spending limit.

Feelunique Launch A Monthly Beauty Box

Feelunique have announced that they are launching a beauty box subscription and I’m loving the sound of it! 

Launching on 6 August 2021, Discover Trial Play is a monthly personalised subscription service which FeelUnique describe as being the ultimate ‘to me, from me’ gift and all from just £11.95 each month.

This subscription service lets you pick and play with products you really want to try, have had on your wishlist for a while or just grab your attention and they’re deluxe sizes, so you will get a product with more than enough in it giving you the chance to really get to know whether or not you want to pay for a full size version. Also, because it will be you choosing your samples, there will be no disappoints or random shades inside your box.  

Like most people, I am guessing you have a wishlist as long as your weekly food shopping list and dither on whether or not to just go with your gut and purchase a few items in the hope they’re everything you hoped they would be! Well this service should help you make some of those choices without making a huge dent in your bank account. This isn’t the first offering from Feelunique who not only offer the odd beauty box, but also a Pick n Mix sample offering too.

As mentioned, this box will cost just £11.95 a month and you will be able to choose whether or not you want one off box, or take an option to subscribe for 3, 6 or 12 months.  What I love about this idea is that it reminds me of You Beauty Box that I subscribed too until it was discontinued and every month, I used to love choosing my products, so I have high hopes for this!

Aroma Active Laboratories Soothing Solid Lip Oil

It comes as no surprise I once again there is a product from Aroma Active Laboratories that I just happen to absolute love. This time it is the Aroma Active Laboratories Soothing Solid Lip Oil.

If you haven’t come across the brand, Aroma Active Laboratories is said to have been the fulfilment of the long-held dream the late Geraldine Howard, co-founder of Aromatherapy Associates, she wanted to bring high-quality aromatherapy to everyone. Well with the creation of Aroma Active Laboratories, sole exclusively in Boots, this has now happened and I am yet to find a single product I dislike!

The Aroma Active Laboratories range is sub-divided into four categories: Sleep, Soothe, SOS and Muscle and you will find the Soothing Solid Lip Oil sitting within the Soothing Range and it is priced at just £8!

Essentially this Soothing Solid Lip Oil is a solid balm, which when it comes into contact with the skin transforms into a rich oil to soothe, nourish, moisturise and protect.

If you suffer or are suffering from dry, chapped and sore lips, then this Lip Oil with its blend of Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil and calendula Oil, all of which are rich in vitamins, and known for their conditioning properties. As always with a product from this brand, there is an aromatherapy link and for this product it is with Neroli and it is a floral, calming and soothing aroma, known for its ability to create a peaceful and calming experience and it is just a wonderful product to use.

For me, I use this as my night treatment and apply it before going to bed, but I also have one on my desk for those just in case moments. It does leave your lips feeling smooth and soothed and it is perfect as a treatment after using a lip scrub too.

This Aroma Active Laboratories Soothing Solid Lip Oil is on sale for just £8 here at Boots.
