With my recent I herb order I decided to try these balms out as my lips are super dry due to winter. I chose three flavours, Moon Balm (which is a night treatment), Grapefruit and Chai.
These come colour coded and in tubes that are a kind of oval shape, as opposed to the traditional circle shape. They twist up from the bottom.
All of the balms I chose have a delicious scent, indicated by the name. Grapefruit is my favourite and it smells exactly like an actual grapefruit. These apply clear so don't stain your lips, don't feel sticky or goopy and they are really hydrating.
Overall I was super impressed by these and once they run out I'll definitely be purchasing them again.
I love everything about the Hurraw lip balms. They are raw, vegan and cruelty free whilst still being super affordable and accessible. They have an amazing range of flavours which smell divine with no fake, plastic traces. I personally picked the lemon and coffee flavours (purchasing from shelivescrueltyfree.com) and prefer the freshness of the lemon. The packaging is reasonably sturdy and the balms are easy to apply with no sticky fingers required.
Although these are a brilliant alternative to Blistex, Nivea, EOS etc, they don't have a wow factor. The hydration is provided, but it doesn't last once the balm has faded from the lips. They are perfect to add into your nightly routine, or apply under lipstick, but they aren't particularly intensive. These wouldn't be enough to treat dry, cracked or flakey lips and they don't give the super nourished, hydrated plumpness that I am seeking. I am yet to find the lip balm that does this though, so perhaps my expectations are too high.
If I was making an online order I would probably slip another one of these in, although I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase them. It would be great to purchase a few from iHerb to have on hand for little gifts.
Tips: These would make lovely little gifts.
