Elemis // Ultra-Conditioning Lip Balm Review

Elemis // Ultra-Conditioning Lip Balm
RRP £21 for 10ml

This is a full size 10ml tube that I received in a Latest In Beauty Box sometime around summer 2019.

First Impressions

Quenching is the best word I can think of for this product. It's like a thick cream but my lips just feel instantly hydrated and tingly; it's a really nice sensation.

Usage

I started using it as soon as I got it and then took it to work with me and it became my work lip balm. It lasted til around December 2019.

Would I Buy It: Yes; if I had the money.

Overall Impressions

This was not what I was expecting. Usually, the only lip balms I can stand are Carmex Vanilla or Malibu Mint because they have that exact balm texture that I love; not greasy but the lips feel coated in something. It's hard to describe. This product doesn't leave that balm feeling as it absorbs so quickly but my lips were not dry afterwards; they stayed soft.

I'm not a big fan of squeezy tubes though as you can sometimes end up with too much or too little but this product isn't solid enough for a twist up and I can't stand balms in pots. It was a little difficult to get product out once it got to the end as well.

For £21 I think this is outside my price range...especially when I get angry when Carmex isn't on offer (It's usually £3.49 full price). If I was on 6 figures a year then yes I would purchase this but on my intern salary; no.
