Olive 100% Natural Lip Balm Review

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.

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.

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

This lip balm does what it says and goes on really well. I used it when I was down in Dunedin and the cold was giving me chapped lips, within a few days my lips were back to normal. My sisters also use this and they have really damaged dry lips that will sometimes bleed, this has helped to keep the chapped skin under control and is really soothing. The only down side to this is that it doesn't absorb very quickly and it doesn't really have a smell, which is something I look for in a lip balm.

I'm not really a fan of this lip balm. It is quite expensive for a lip balm and is not very hydrating for me. It also has a weird smell which I am not a fan of. I also don't really like the squeezy tube applicator. However I do like like how they are all natural and made in New Zealand. In conclusion this lip balm didn't work for me.

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.

I picked this up at Farmer's on sale as I needed a new balm and loved the fact that this is natural and made in New Zealand.

The packaging is in a nice, squeeze type tube and is easy to apply. It does moisturize but for me it was a bit too greasy. I found I had to constantly reapply as it didn't absorb well. I sometimes have reactions to lip balms but I didn't get that at all with this one. It definitely has an olive oil smell that sticks around for a while.

I personally wouldn't purchase this again but would use if I ever got it as a gift. Would recommend as others may like it more than I did.

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

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!
