Olive 100% Natural Lip Balm Review

I tried this a while back as I'm constantly trying new lip balms. I was ready for intense hydration and chap free lips, unfortunately this product didn't deliver on any count.

The tube is a nice little squeezy tube, easy to use and distributes a good amount of product as long as you don't squeeze it really hard.

My problem with the balm was the taste - it tasted like rancid oil and that is never pleasant. I may have got a batch that wasn't right but boy I've never tried anything like it. If you've ever dug out an old tube of lip balm and applied it, then you'll know what I'm talking about.

I also found the consistency to be quite thin and non absorbing. I actually feel like it made my lips feel and look worse.

Fortunately, I've been turned around by this brand with the inclusion of the Olive Pomegranate body lotion in the NZ brands beauty box. I just know to stay away from the lip balm in future - the body lotion is ace!

Received one of these in a Christmas stocking, at the just the right time when I needed a new balm.

At first I loved it, because it really does moisturise beautifully. And the size of the tube is really handy (although a bit small for the price).

Where it all came undone was one day when I left it in the car... it melted to a liquid, and then did not set the same (as pawpaw does). And after it had melted, the smell of the olive oil became overwhelming - I felt like I was cooking in the kitchen every time I used it. Ended up binning it, and didn't buy another as it was highly likely that it would melt at some point with my carelessness

I tried this lip balm for the first time last year. The tube is nice and small but I feel that the box that the tube comes in is a bit of a waste, surely the info printed on the box would suffice being printed on the tube. The smell of the balm is nice and subtle and it applies really smoothly, not sticky at all. My lips found AMAZING after a few days of using this product, because it applies so smoothly you only need a small amount each time you apply which makes it good value for money, costing just under the $10 mark. I would absolutely recommend this product.

Winter time tends to bring along with it dry cracking lips for me. I usually use paw paw, but last year I saw this in Farmers and decided to give it a try. The tube was the perfect size, small and indiscreet for when you need to reapply n public. The scent is soft and natural, and went smoothly on my lips. It lasted well, and my lips were left soft and supple. Only downfall for me was when it went in my mouth, it left an odd taste in the back of my throat. Would use it again for the great results!

I was looking for a lip balm that is natural and goes on well with application. I've noticed olive products every time I go into my pharmacy. This one time I decided to try a lip balm. I wanted to try this because it's natural and made in New Zealand.

This lip balm comes in a 10 ml tube. Its a olive green packaging with olive branding on it. The packaging is squeezed to get the product out of it. The tip of it is slanted with a small hole in it to get the product out. The consistency of it is like a balm. It had a very mild olive oil scent to it.

On application it's very oily and greasy. You need to use it often to keep your lips moist and hydrated. I really didn't notice any changes in hydration with this lip balm. I think it is highly priced. I think maybe they need to change the formula of it somehow or maybe I got a bad batch.

This product didn't really work for me. My lips didn't seem to absorb the balm, even when I tried to rub it into my lips, and despite frequent applications it had no effect on my severely dry and peeling lips. Might be better for someone whose lips are not already chapped, just to stop them from getting chapped. Its a shame, because all of Oive's other (face) products that I've used have been great! Otherwise, the texture and flavour were nice - a hint of olive scent but not overwhelming, and I did not find it to be particularly greasy - certainly not as sticky as vaseline

Olive 100% Natural lip balm comes in a great sized tube, and since you only need to apply a tiny amount, it lasts and lasts. It leaves my lips feeling soft and moisturised, and the fragrance is very natural and subtle. Because its oil based, it becomes quite liquid when heated, so you need to keep it in a cool place to avoid it oozing out when you open it up. Its very well priced considering how long it lasts.

I love this, it's so good for dry and cracked lips. It makes them feel and look really smooth :) and you don't need to apply much i think it's really good for $10. If you have dry or cracked lips get this!!

Finding myself out without a lip balm in the weekend - i bought this at a pharmacy and it has shot straight to the top of my favourites. It's not too oily, goes on smoothly and doesn't stick.
