Hurraw Lip Balm

Recently I realised I’m pretty picky when it comes to lip balm. I’ve been this way for years but only just realised how picky I am after my son was first born. You see, I started making my own lip balm a few years ago so I could have the PERFECT balm but being on my last tube with a newborn kind of meant buying lipbalms again until I had time to make a batch. That’s how I ended up with a tube of vanilla Hurraw. First off, I absolutely love the packaging. The tube is this cool oval shape that covers my lips perfectly without needing to whittle a normal round tube down to an angled point over applications. I am definitely going to be reusing this! The ingredients list is another plus for me, it seems pretty natural with each ingredient being pronounceable. Application is smooth, the vanilla scent is there but subtle enough to not be overpowering while wearing and while it feels reasonably moisturising, it feels a bit oily on the lips and I don’t feel it keeps the moisture locked in for very long so I’m constantly reapplying it which means the tube won’t last as long. I’d repurchase this again in a pinch, that’s mostly down to it being okayish and knowing I’d happily reuse the empty tube.

I got this after see it in a blog on Healthpost. I was in search of a decent natural lip balm as I'm trying to switch to clean beauty and skin products. I had rather neutral thoughts on this, even though I had read the blog review on Healthpost. I was pleasantly surprised that I actually liked the lip balm. It tastes and smells really good,. It like artificial raspberry flavouring and doesn't have a waxy greasy feel to it either. It also gives a nice slight wine tint.

Recently purchased this as people rave about it. Love that it's natural and cruelty free. It's nice, shiny and provides some hydration. I do use another natural branded lip balm which I find better and lasts longer, but this one was nice and with a variety to choose from and some being tinted are fun. An oval design obviously for the gals to carry in their pockets. It is lightly scented with a slight flavour. These would be a natural equivalent to another tinted lip balm on the market. Perfect for young girls starting to use some make-up and wanting a hint of colour or shine.

Such a great range of flavours, I have tried a couple of them and they are great! Reasonable price, last a long time & smell so good!!! There is a tinted one too which is fun.

I've gone through a couple of the black cherry flavour Hurraw lip balms now. I love the smell - something a bit different from your usually strawberry/raspberry flavoured lip balms. I love the subtle red tint - a little something on a fresh face in the morning. Or even better, this and a swipe of mascara when you're running late for a dinner date says 'I've made an effort' but also 'I'm comfortable in my own skin' - and no lipstick stains left on the wine glass! Simple and effective! I also love that its vegan, and mostly organic - I appreciate brands that make products as natural as possible.

I went nuts and bout every scent I could at one point but they're probably better smelling then they are moistening. It wore off pretty quickly and I felt like I needed to reapply often.

These really are lovely lip balms, at first I did think they were a little over-hyped, but I've really grown to love them, the coconut one is my favourite! It seems a little creamier in consistency than the citrus flavoured ones.

Yes, its very moisturising, smooth, has kept my lips from cracking over winter,and the flavours are fab!! Plus they smell awesome, and the company ethics are fantastic.

But I found the oval shape to be rather unco and weird to apply at first - it took a while to get used to it, to be honest it really annoyed me, untill I realised how nicely they fit into jean pockets lol. The tinted one I had (black cherry) was a little disappointing as far as colour pay off to begin with. I'm not sure what happened between now & the first time I tried it, (maybe my lips were darker for some reason? lol I have no clue!) but I find its fine now! Adds a subtle hint of colour to my lips without having to reach for the lippy :)

I would definitely recommend to give these a go, especially if your into vegan products, also they do have an amazing range of flavours available.

After reading some good reviews, I decided to purchase some of these. I couldn't justify the $7 amount so I found them cheaper on iHerb which was so much better. I purchased Black Cherry and Almond as it reminds me of marzipan which is my absolute favourite.

The Formula - Nice and creamy, not too thick, and not too thin either. Some lip balms can be so thick that I have to wipe them off and throw them out, and some can be really thin, not good enough to give a nice moisturised feeling. This one is good as its pretty much in between. I really like it and love how my lips feel.

The Tube - okay, at first I thought it looked really weird and wondered how on earth the shape would work, would it be hard to hold and make it fiddly to use. For me, I thought it was a good shape, because I use it length wise and it fits perfectly to the shape of my lips. Its actually quite a neat design and definitely makes it stand out over the standard round shape lip balms on the market.

Results - I really like the way it moisturises my lips and doesn't leave that horrible sticky feeling. You know how some lip balms can be so sticky it makes your lips stick together lol. This doesn't do that. My lips feel really good and I love the nice shiny look it gives to my lips.

Purchase again - Most definitely. They are a good product at a good price. A nice size to pop into your handbag or purse for on the go. They last for ages and have so many different flavours. Would love to try the Coffee Bean after these are finished :-)

After hearing all the hype surrounding this product, I was intrigued to try it. I added it to my iherb cart numerous times but always deleted it before processing it. Did I really need another lip balm? Was this product as good as everyone said it was?

The answer, Yes and Yes.

I love the hurraw lip balm. I know im not a lip balm fanatic like some of you lovely BR members on here, but I do own a fair amount of lip balm and…. I have never finished a lip balm off. I have never been so addicted to using a lip balm that I emptied it and repurchased another one, even if I loved the product. Enter Hurraw.

I got the vanilla flavour, and when I first saw the lip balm, I was intrigued. It isn’t the generic circular tube, but instead an oval shaped tube. Genius. This doesn’t roll away from me, and I can secretly stash this behind the counter at work without fear of it rolling off and onto the floor. The packaging itself is effective, with the standard twist design, and a simple but effective label.

The product itself it nice. It has a nice sweet vanilla scent to it. A smell I love, although it doesn’t have the depth of scent that some vanilla products I purchase have, it still has a nice smell which I don’t find sickly. The product is easy to apply, and I find the oval shape especially handy at times of application because it just fits my lips really well, making the product easily and smoothly glide onto them.

I apply this lip balm all the time and I love it, and my lips love it. I find it hydrates my lip while I’m using it, but the hydration is only there when the lip balm is on and there are not obvious long-lasting or permanent effects or so I thought. I used this throughout the day when my lips were sore, and a bit dry, by the end of my day my lips were smooth and soft! It also gives my lips a subtle gloss, and is great for those days when I don’t want to wear a high maintenance lip product. However, when I compare this product to other lip balms I own, I do find it ever so slightly greasier than them, but the lip balms still have a texture and consistency which I enjoy, I just thought I would point that out for the sake on an in-depth review.

Another thing I love about this brand is all the flavours they have, and the fact that they have some unique flavours such as cardamom rose, and chai which are the ones currently sitting in my iherb cart! But they also have the classics, from the sweet vanilla and chocolate to the fruity cherry and grapefruit. There really is a flavour to suit anyone! Plus, I love what this company stands for in regards to its vegan aspects as well as it being cruelty free. An aspect I am paying more and more attention to when I purchase products.

Do I recommend this product to others? Let’s just say this is the first lip balm that I think il be using to the very end. Worth a try, and is really affordable from I herb.
