Nature's Care Paw Paw Lip Balm

I don't know about you, but whenever I walked around Priceline I always notice this, hanging on the lip balm  wall (what I call the area in Priceline full of Lip Balms) it always seemed to catch my eyes, in its lovely pink packaging. But I never stopped to see what it was, but when I was researching Paw Paw ointments I found out what the pink thing in the lip balm wall was, and I decided to go try it out.

Bought this for $2.96, compared to the Lucas Papaw Ointment, it's a lot cheaper!

I've also heard that it works wonders just like the Lucas Papaw Ointment though it doesn't contain Petroleum Jelly.

The ingredients & Directions

When you take it out of the box, it did surprise me a little, since it was a lot smaller then I thought it would be. Perfect to throw into your pocket or bag when you go out though!

when you opened the cap, the applicator is slanted. What I like to look for is slanted applicators when it comes to these. It's a lot easier to apply since you don't need your fingers, I usually like to have long nails so it comes in handy.

Now when it comes to the product, it comes out as a oily sticky liquid, but when its colder the product becomes a bit like petroleum jelly, but still looks like oil when applied on the lips. I didn't really like the feeling since it just felt like you had oil on your lips, but what I did like what the smell, smelt strongly of mango, but don't get fooled by the smell because it tasted the opposite, it wasn't disgustingly bad just tasted...meh.

Now it stated that it "Soothes dry and chapped lips naturally" and yes I agree to that only if you kept reapplying it, it didn't work instantly or the day after, it worked slowly for me compared to Lucas Papaw Ointment. Which is why I wouldn't repurchase this but it comes to good use to keep the lips moisturised.

Lucas' Papaw Ointment

Went out to go get a few things and ended up buying Lucas' Papaw Ointment.

I remember I was always seeing this everywhere in shops, nothing more eye-catching than red and black packaging! So I was always whining about my super dry, cracking lips which were always in pain, I was asking people what lip balm or product to use and the answer would be Lucas' Papaw Ointment.

I got the 25g Tube since I was always using my brothers 75g Tub, I wanted to get my own to use. So I bought this at Target for $4.99.

The main ingredient in it is Carica Papaya aka papaw or pawpaw which has many healing properties.

"The ointment helps to relieve and cleanse"

I actually only use this on my lips so I haven't tested it out on the other stuff since I don't like the feeling of it on my skin. But this did help unchap my super dry cracked lips after a day of use!

When I first got this, I noticed the triangular shape caved into the lid I was a bit confuzzled.

But I realised the lid helped open up the cap attached to where the product comes out of. You just pop the lid on top of the cap and twist until it pops open.

To be honest I don't really like the packaging to the Papaw ointment, I thought it was a slanted applicator so it was easier to apply that's why I bought the tube and I also don't like using my finger to apply lipbalms cause I do have long nails so the product gets under my nails which I have to wipe off with a tissue.

The consistency was a like petroleum jelly (because it contains it) but feels light when applied on the lips, a little bit does go a long way.

I would repurchase this since it does work amazingly well, saved my lips as well!

EOS Lip Balm- Honeysuckle Honeydew & Summer Fruit

Favourite lip balms of all time! :)

I've heard so much hype about the EOS lip balms, about how it's so adorable in its egg shape and its wide range of different colours and flavours.

EOS stands for the "Evolution of smooth" the brand specialises in lipbalms, creams and lotions.

On the plastic packaging the EOS lipbalms are 100% Natural, 95% Organic and not tested on animals. Now that already attracts to me already. 

I did a little researching and went on their website.

• Long-lasting moisture [[Long lasting stood out to me the most!]]
• Shea butter & vitamin E [[Good for the heart and skin]]
• Smoothes on clear 
• New smooth sphere precisely glides on to lips [[Makes it extra easy to use]]
• Twist-off top [[It helps keep the top on, the tops that you pull off can easily be opened]]
• Gluten-free [[My friend has a gluten allergy so this would be perfect for her!]]
• Paraben-free
• Petrolatum-free
• Phthalate-free

So my dad went back to Hong Kong and I gave him a list of makeup products to get from SaSa. He came back with my EOS lipbalms in Summer Fruit and Honeysuckle Honeydew.

Basically I let my dad buy any of the EOS lipbalms since I didn't have a particular flavour/colour I wanted, I was maybe wanting the yellow one because it was yellow (favourite colour) and it was a lemon flavour (I love lemons haha) but the SPF part really put me off, i know its good and all but I have this OCD/habit in thinking that SPF makes the skin look greasy (like in foundations or sunscreen) I have no idea how that would work in lipbalm form though, but I'll let you know that my P.O.V is way off. 

Price: 39 HK Dollars (Around $5 in AUD)

The price is definitely worth it. Even though its quite expensive if you think about it. Most lipbalms are around $3-$4 but I would be willing to buy it bbecause its just soo much cuter and easier to use than most lipbalms.

Packaging: 5/5

The packaging is just so cute, the colours are also adorable, I just want to collect them all because they would look cool as a decoration on my desk haha. 

Product: 5/5

Pros:

-Tastes like their name/flavour. No joke, I mostly only use EOS just because I like to taste it.

-The smell is heavenly aswell

-Moisturises well! Makes my lips smooth and soft the day after :D

-Sosososo cute packaging.

-Easy to apply on the lips, I dont even have to open my mouth to apply it.

Cons:

-Hard to get in Australia

Conclusion: 

Overall this is a must have product that you can use everyday, just pop it into your bag and use it. I was happy with my lips after the use and the taste and smell makes me want to eat it, even though I already do.

Revlon Lip Butters - Peach Parfait

This review is mainly on Peach Parfait

Today I went Mothers Day Shopping, I planned on buying the Revlon Lip Butters in Tutti Frutti for her since she liked the orange colour and buy myself Peach Parfait. So I went around the stores trying to find the cheapest one, which was Mychemist

Price: $18.65

Australias prices aren't worth it since I heard over in America the Lip Butters are around $7 I think? 

It was on sale, 15% off, so I saved myself $3.29 which isnt that much but from all the good reviews about it everywhere I had to get it. You really only get that much product so I'll only be using it for outings/special occasions

Packaging: 4/5 Stars

The packaging looks really classy from the diamond patterns on the 2 sides and then the other sides were frosted . What I didnt like about the packaging was actually opening the lid, you really only have around a centimetre on the bottom to hold onto and why that's bad is the lid is actually tightly held together with the bottom, so it takes some strength to open it and sometimes my hands slip and it made me drop it on the ground and made the product all dirty :( But It's good to know that it's closed while its in my bag.

The colour isnt that pink, my camera made the colour brighter :(

Product: 3/4

Pros-

• The Colour is buildable

• Lasts a few hours after eating, drinking talking etc

• It's not sticky

• Moisturising

• Has no taste 

• Smells really nice, but the smell isn't noticeable, only if you smell it very closely.

Cons-

• There's glitter in it.

• The colour doesn't do that much to my lips, it looked like a very sheer red colour. But the colour did look like what it was on the tube.

Conclusion:

Overall I did like this product, just not the colour. I would definately buy it again only when it's on sale. I will probably try Candy Apple, Sweet Tart, Berry Smoothie, Sugar Plum or Pink Truffle, just the natural pink shades.

I will now end this post with a swatch of it (:

The colour reminds me of Eyeko Fat Balm in "Strawberry" when it's on my lips.

Have a nice day!

and btw, The Everyday Makeup Tutorial will be filmed tomorrow, I bought my tripod today (:
