Hurraw Lip Balm

Love this lip balm aswell, but feel like it wasn’t for me. I do still recommend to all of you but I think i would rather one of my other lip balms. I don’t know why i’m just not a fan of it! But you never know you may be.

When I saw this online, I was really excited. They had so many flavours, more than most ranges. They're an ethical product and vegan to boot! The packaging is lovely and the name is cute.

Unfortunately I wasn't such a fan of the coverage. For me, this balm seemed to just go on slick, and it didn't seem to have much staying power. A couple of sips of water from my bottle and I had to reapply. I didn't notice a big difference to the over-all softness of my lips.

However... the flavours really are amazing. I got two, one cinnamon (tinted) and one almond. The almond just rocks my world! It smells and tastes so perfect, like marzipan! So, in that sense... yes I probably will buy this again, even knowing some of the short comings. The price is reasonable and there were so many different flavours that I wanted to try.

I often get quite dry lips so a lip balm is always part of my daily routine and I have them stashed all over the place - in the car, at work, in the bathroom. I came across some reviews of the Hurraw lip balms and thought it would be the perfect balm for me. I bought the Blue chamomile vanilla night treatment balm to keep by my bed to add to my night time routine. It has a lovely scent which I really struggle to describe, but no taste which I found a bit disconcerting at first. The product applies beautifully and has a really gorgeous smooth consistency and doesn't feel greasy at all. I don't find it lasts particularly long though so while it is a lovely balm, I haven't noticed any difference at all while using it. The biggest plus I have with this product is the clever tube shape - it's oval so you can put it down and it doesn't roll away!! Genius!

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 found Hurraw lip balm on Healthpost website and decided to give it a try since my favourite Nivea lip balm is not all natural. Choosing the unscented balm was a bit of a mistake but I thought it was a good place to start as I'm always rather dubious about online stuff I can't test prior. Unscented, but with 'other things' - it has the flavour of the oils and waxes that are in it, which are not so tasty haha! It's like a plain beeswaxy type flavour and scent. Saying all this, the balm itself is ok. It seems to sit on the lips for a while rather than soak right in, but it feels like a barrier cream rather than straight moisture. Others have said that it's in a good packet, I agree. It's got a good quality twister and I like the oval shaped tube. Next time I'll get something with a flavour!

I did not like this product. The night treatment one makes my lips feel strange and tight and tingly. It wears off really fast and doesn't have much effect on my lips. Isn't worth the money or the effort it takes to get it. Would pick Nivea or blistex or burt's bees over this anyday.

I'm not overly impressed with this particular lip balm. The scent isn't overpowering which I love because it actually smells really nice but it just didn't do anything for my lips. In fact, when I'm wearing this lip balm and my lips are slightly cracked (lack of care on my part) my lips actually feel worse and my cracked lips feel more obvious than it does without any lip balm and I don't like that. And I'm always having to re apply because I feel it's not keeping my lips moisturised at all. A little disappointing to be honest. Hopefully the rest of the Hurraw lip balms aren't like this one because I'd actually like to try out a few more flavours.

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.
