Hi everyone! I hope all of you are doing well. I know it has been a while since I wrote something. I truly miss sharing with all of you my beauty finds and favorites. I am presently 24 weeks pregnant with my second baby (yay!! And it's a boy again!haha). This second pregnancy has helped me gained additional pounds aside from the pounds I gained during the first pregnancy. On top of that, my psoriasis flare ups showed up on my face. It is quite disheartening that I cannot use any steroids to tame down the redness and to stop it due to my pregnancy. Also, my lips is drier than before. I often have dry chapped lips and it does not look good at all with lipstick. Due to this, lipbalms have become my bestfriends. These are my favorite lip balms that I currently use in rotation.
My ultimate favorite is the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. I got this sample in Myeongdong last October, 2019 and I have been trying to use it sparingly. This lip mask does wonders to my dry chapped lips. This has a glossy finish and is quite thick for everyday wear. I use it at night time and despite its thick consistency, I use it even during the day. It immediately hydrates and soothes my dry lips. I will definitely get a full size jar once I finish this sample.
Next on my list, is the best buy of them all. I got this Nuxe Reve De Miel Lip Mositurizing Stick on sale for 200 pesos during a shoppee sale. Surprisingly, I received a free Rose Micellar Toner and a canvass bag as freebies! I have been using this lipbalm religiously for months. I use it daily and it is evident on the the size of the remaining lipbalm bullet that I am loving this to bits. This gives off a very nice glow on the lips. This is not heavy at all and works well with most of my lip products (tints, lip pencils, and lipsticks).
The third on my list is another one from Nuxe. I asked my bff/ super friend to buy it for me when she was in Europe because it costs less there. This is the Reve De Miel Balm or Honey Lip Balm. This one has a very different texture than the rest on the list. This is akin to a thick butter balm and applies velvety matte on the lips. This does not have that dewy finish like most lipbalms and works well with matte lipsticks.
Last is the Glossier Cherry Balm dotcom. This is a very popular product online and I was so excited to receive it as a gift from my Aunt. This has a very strong cherry scent which I am not fond of but the texture of this lipbalm is really nice. It is emollient and goes on smoothly on the lips. It also delivers a very subtle pinkish red hue when applied. I love using it on its own or with just a lip liner pencil for a quick everyday makeup.

What are is your favorite lipbalm?
Godbless and keep safe.
Xoxo,
I seldom post reviews and recommendations of lip balms on this blog. Well, the primary reason would point to the fact that my lips are perpetually dry and chapped. I chanced upon this lipbalm while strolling in Megamall department store. The name "Dr. Rescue" got me like a handsome buff guy would have had me at one "hello". Probably and subconsciously speaking, I was truly in a desperate move to get rid of my chafing lips. I did not take product shots while the lipbalm was still carded because I have tried Baby Lips before and I was honestly not impressed at all. So, I just bought this for the sake of testing it. For 100 something pesos, I told myself this is worth a try.
Did I like it?
To cut the long story short, Yes, I did! Surprisingly, I have been using it everyday and has been a so called "mainstay" in my kikay kit. It has a subtle minty feel that is not sting at all. It acts as a good base for matte lip products because it is not glossy. It just gives off a natural sheen on the lips. Despite its blue color and like most medicated balms, it does not leave a white film on the lips. At times, when my lips is too dry, this product just don't work at all and I switch to Lucas Pawpaw instead. It has SPF 15 which is perfect for daytime wear.
Have you found a nice lipbalm?
Share it on the comments box!! I would love to know what my readers use. :)
Have a blessed day!

Hurraw! Balm contains certified organic, cold pressed and centrifuged extracted, nut/seed oils and butters that have been processed below 118F degrees and are still chocked full of their essential nutrients and enzymes. Although more expensive, the quality of cold pressed oils and raw butters is superb; you'll feel the difference…your lips will be stoked! No petroleum, parabens, preservatives, artifical flavors or colors. Did you know the shine in many lipsticks and glosses come from petroleum jelly (a bi-product of oil drilling linked to many health problems including cancer)? A recent statistic showed that over the course of a decade regular users of lip products containing petroleum, can end up ingesting seven pounds of the stuff... essentially it's like drinking gasoline. (from Hurrawbalm.com)
Cutieverse contacted me about a month ago and sent me Hurraw! lipbalms for me to try. I was quite excited. Errr yeah I am always excited to try new products but I have this strong penchant for organic or vegan products. Their ingredients sound less complex compared to processed or manufactured beauty products. The benefits of using vegan products are endless. I can go weary typing away the pros of it. There are a lot of flavors to choose from and I really had a hard time picking the flavor I wanted to try. I got so intrigued with the combo of sun protection balm and the night protection balm. Of course, I got a tinted one too. I honestly think that I should have gotten more fun flavors. |

Each balm is individually poured in the tube. I have been using these balms since the day I got it which is for a month now. Let me share with you the things I love about them.
What I love about this product:
- The packaging is sturdy. The oval shape prevents it from slipping off your pocket.
- It does not have any taste.
- The scent is subtle and enticing. My sister told me that these balms smell so delicious and I totally agree with her.
- The balm is very solid and does not melt easily despite the very hot weather in the Philippines.
- I am not a fan of lip balm because I find them heavy but this one feels really light on the lips.
- The texture is smooth, non greasy or not grainy at all.
- It is made out of organic ingredients.
What I dislike about the product:
- It is not really moisturizing as I thought it would be. Thus, I do not reach for these balms whenever I have chapped lips.
- Available only online.
- A bit pricey compared to other lipbalms.

In July, ripe, delicious black cherries grace us with their sweet juicy presence straight from the east side orchards of Montana's Flathead Lake. A deep wildcrafted alkanet infusion gives our black cherry balm a deep red sheer tint (a smidge darker than our cinnamon balm). An all natural organic black cherry flavor makes it... tart and yum! *The tint of the Black Cherry Balm can vary in color due to the Alkanet root we infuse our almond oil with. Although we craft each batch with precision and aim to make every balm the "same", please know that our plant infusion strengths will vary based on seasonal growing fluctuations & is somewhat expected when using
100% natural ingredients. (from Hurrawbalm.com)
Price: 250 pesos |
I highly recommend the Black Cherry Tinted Balm. It gives off a nice gloss on the lips but not over the top shine with a hint of color. It looks so natural on the lips without the over top glossiness. I prefer lining my lip line first and finishing off with this balm. This has got to be my May go-to product.

A good night's sleep can be the best thing ever.
We have been using our Moon Balm Formula for years and thought other lip balm lovers would dig using a Night Treatment Balm as well. Extra thick, creamy and rich; this balm has some serious staying power. The Vanilla and Peru Balsam scent will lull you to sleep.
Azulene packed Blue Chamomile lends a gorgeous green-blue color and soothes your lips for some true beauty z's! (from Hurrawbalm.com)Price: 350 pesos
Out of the three balms I got, the scent of this balm is best. It smells really relaxing. It feels very light on the lips, thus, I don't mind using a lip balm nightly for overnight moisturization. (I am not fond of applying balms nightly because I get too uncomfortable that I would eventually wipe it off. I must say, however, that this balm falls is an exception.) |

We love the Sun. It's amazing. We believe limited, smart exposure is actually pretty o.k. for the skin. But for those long exposure times, our SPF 15 Sun Balm will give your lips the extra protection they need. It glides on silky smooth *(and virtually clear) like our regular balms but we formulated it to be extra thick and creamy for longer staying power while out in those shining rays! Juicy Tangerine, Roman Chamomile and a hint of Vanilla make it nourishing and calming for your lips. Packed full of amazing cold pressed oils to moisturize, protect and heal. (from Hurrawbalm.com)
Price: 350 pesos |
I am not fond of the tangerine scent but I always kept this balm in my purse. I also brought this on my short trip to the beach because of the SPF 15. The downside of this lipbalm is that it creates a white tint on the lips. I was unaware of this.The first time I used it with three to four swipes and I looked sick when I saw myself in the mirror. Waahh!! Remember that one to two swipes of this balm is enough. More than that, you will end up looking anemic.
Overall, I like Hurraw balms because there are no harmful ingredients in them. It is purely organic and a certified vegan product. I highly recommend the black cherry tinted balm to my readers. It is one of the best tinted lip balm I have tried because the finish looks very natural on my lips.

Almond Just like the nut.
Raspberry Tea Fresh Raspberries blended with Tea.
Jelly Doughnut Iced Doughnut, with Grape Jelly. Stevia Sweetened.
Maple Smells just like fresh Maple Syrup. Stevia sweetened.
Pecan Pie Nuts, buttery crust, and Maple make up our version of this pie!
*Upside Down Pineapple Cake Pineapple, Cake, with hints of vanilla & caramel make up this customer request! Stevia sweetened.
My favorite scent is raspberry tea but my mom wanted it so bad I just gave it to her. Jelly doughnut is also yummy. I am currently using the pineapple pie which has a sweet after taste!! I love it. I was bewildered with the packaging of pineapple pie, it is only now that I realized that is it an UPSIDE down pineapple cake. These lipbalms for me are very relaxing.
