After a long hard look online I opted for the lip care cream as the reviews on the boots website were quite good and as i've become obsessed with lipstick of late I thought it would be a good lipstick base.
The cream comes in a 10ml tube
The back of the box reads as so:
"Retexturises and Firms - This rich, conditioning balm boosts moisture for 24 hours, leaving you with softer, healthier looking lips. Contains lipo-peptides to help smooth away lip roughness and our patent pending antioxidant complex to help protect your lips from the environment.
A little lip care everyday..... Smooth on and around your lips every morning and anytime they need a little extra care, given you a great base for favourite lipstick.
Created with care.... We created this hypo-allergenic product using only ingredients we know and trust"
That is quite in-depth breakdown of the cream.
The tube has a lip applicator at the end making it easy to apply
The texture of the cream is like well cream!!! a nice thick rich body cream type texture
Now for my verdict......
I did not like the cream at all!!!!!
Its too thick for a start, and took quite a bit of rubbing for it to be absorbed, therefore it does not act well as a lipstick base and I swear my lipstick just slid off after an hour or so.
It does not last for 24 hours as I was topping it up every few hours.
Now I had slightly chapped lips before using this but it seems to have made them even worse!!!
I wish I had saved the £4 and put it towards Elizabeth Arden's 8 hour balm which is far superior to this in every way.
In the meantime I will be sticking to my tub of vasaline.
1 star out of 5
If you would like to try this and see if works for you can get it at either www.boots.com or in store on sale for £9 if you have a £5 off voucher I suggest you use it!!!
