Hello, I hope you're having a good day. Today I'm going to share my favorite drugstore lip balm for the summer time with you all. Also, don't forget to vote on my two polls. I also posted yesterday I will have a giveaway starting this Saturday(4-12-14). Make sure you come back and enter! Keep reading to see my favorite lip balm and pictures.
With the e.l.f. Conditioning Lip Balm, lips get treated to a sheer splash of color that's super smooth, velvety soft and non-sticky. Not only are these sheer, natural shades beautiful, they're also beneficial, with natural ingredients that condition dry, chapped lips including Vitamins A & E. Apply to lips and blend in color as often as desired. This is the ideal lip balm to carry with you, or take when you travel, as it multitasks by offering great color and conditioning benefits.
This buttery lip balm is sold by e.l.f cosmetics for $3.00. You have the choice of 5 colors: Nice & Natural, Peacful Pink, Mellow Melon, Blissful Berry and Romantic Rouge. Today I will be sharing Mellow Melon with you but I provided a picture of the other four lip balms for you below. For those who don't like bulky cosmetics, you probably won't like this lip balm. It's a good sized jar and can take up a lot of room. I think it's worth it though. This lip balm is amazing!
Top row: Nice & Natural, Peaceful Pink
Bottom row: Blissful Berry, Romantic Rouge
The consistency of the lip balms is very buttery and smooth. It reminds me of actual butter but just a little more thin. The moisturizing properties are great. You can get a full days worth of moisture when you use this lip balm. Not only do you get conditioned lips but the balm is beautifully pigmented. You can either wear a sheer flush of color or build up the lip balm for a nice opaque look. Of course the pigmentation isn't as strong as a lipstick but the lightness of the lip balm is perfect for the summer. I also think the jar is adorable. It's a clear glass pot with a black plastic lid that smoothly screws on. It looks really luxuries and I love displaying it on my vanity.
Mellow Melon
Mellow Melon looks like a natural light pink on the lips. I usually like to build up the color but for the picture I sheered it out. Its also perfect for spicing up a nude lipstick. It truly adds natural beauty to your lips. Now, It's not long wearing but it leaves my lips moisturized for the whole day. I can get about a hours wear out of a sheer application. Which isn't bad considering it's a lip balm. Most drugstore lip balms last for a shorter time and they're usually not as opaque.
Mellow Melon does have a scent to it. It smells like Shea butter but maybe a little more sweet. However, I love the smell and I don't think it will bother anyone. I can't imagine anyone passing it up because of the sweet smell. It truly adds natural beauty to your lips. Its such a beautiful shade and I wear it all the time during warmer months. I think everyone should try latest one shade.
