I was really looking forward to trialling this product, because if I'm honest I'm basically lazy when it comes to skin & body care. So when I saw it was called an everything balm, I was sold just on the name alone.
But is it really? or is it just a really good advertising hook? Never one to shy away from a challenge I looked forward to putting it to the test.
It is touted as soothing dry, chapped skin. Well I've got plenty of that so I decided to try that area 1st and YES it really did soothe & soften the skin it even calmed mild redness on my face & hands.
Next I read it conditions dry lips , so on it went & once again after a few applications,I can report that once again it lived up to it's claims.
The next place I tried was my sad & sorry looking cuticles as it says it conditions your cuticles & only after a couple of days of applying my cuticles are already showing signs of improvement.
OK by now I'm becoming impressed, a wonder balm that looks like it may actually live up to it's claims.
So what is my assessment of this product? I will almost certainly be replacing my pot of Everything balm when it runs out as it would be good to have in the bathroom cabinet or overnight bag
It does feel a tad oily when 1st applied but it absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving your skin feeling too greasy, if at all. My only one comment in the minus column about this product is the citrus-y scent (is it citronella?) as it reminds me of a mosquito repellent, but on saying that it wouldn't put me off purchasing it & hey in the summer it may come in handy for keeping the mozzies away. ;) Seriously though this product is worth a try
I love this balm. It's wonderful to find a product that has so many use's. It's ideal for repairing dry area's on your body like your elbows and knees. And heels. It's non greasy formula is even perfect for applying to your face if you have dry patches , or to smooth out your under eye area.
As a lip balm i found it felt great on my lips but i like alot more moisture and shine. So i apply it under my lip balm. But it is perfect for smoothing your lips before you apply your favourite lippy.
It has almost a was like consistency, which melts easily on your finger. which makes it easy to apply. This balm is about as natural as you can get, It contains no preservatives and Essential oils such as : Marula oil , jojoba oil , wheat germ oil, honey , and Vitamin E. And is smells amazing. Love the packaging . Especially the box, the graphics really pretty. So would be perfect for a gift. I was really impressed with this product, just like all Trilogy products.
Tips: *use this balm on your lips when applying darker shades of lippy. It helps the colour not to stick to the lines on your lips. *Apply this balm to the cracks on your heals it really softens and heals . Wear sock at night with this balm on and you will have super soft feet. * Apply this balm to burns or bites. *Apply to your nails after your file them and before you apply your nail polish. Always pack this balm when going on holiday , it does what it says it will which is .... everything !
