Lip Blams

For a couple of years now I've been suffering with the worst case of dry/cracked lip imaginable. All day I am constantly applying lip balm as my lips without anything covering them is agony.

They constantly crack and then bleed, they flake off and to be completely honest it isn't exactly very nice to be talking to someone and feel as though they are just staring at your flakey lips.

So since I feel like I am an expert in the field of lip balm as I own and have tried what feel like hundreds over the past two years that I would give you my personal opinion on a few Lip Balm I have tried out recently and wether they were work the money, and if they have done anything to help my lips.



1. La Roche-Posay - Barrier Repairing Balm

I initially bought this as I had heard Estee Lalonde rave about how good it was for helping her lips from being so cracked and sore so thought it would help me.
I use this every night and lather it on my lips and yes I do think it helps when its on there however, as soon as it rubs it off my lips are sore again - so it doesn't actually do anything to repair the lips but provides a barrier from the pain while on. The only massive issue I have with this is that it taste horrible, once you apply it it has such a bitter taste to it. This calms done after a couple of minutes but the initial taste just isn't nice.



2. NUXE Reve de Miel Lip Balm

This stuff has been by saviour since November 2014 - I have used this stuff constantly and I am pretty sure I'm on my 4th tub. This product has the thickest texture that it stays on for ages and I really do feel that it works on my lips. The creaminess of it really does hydrate the lips. When I use this product and it comes off I don't have that instant need to go and get more and slather it on again. It leaves my lips feeling really smooth and hydrated. Definitely recommend!

3. Caudalie Lip Balm  

I was perusing through the FeelUnique Website as I do way too much, and came across this lip balm and thought 'I have tired everything else so may as well give this one a go' To be honest I have not been using this product for very long so I can't give a 100% accurate review. From what I've used of it so far I do not think it works at all. This is the lip balm I keep in my handbag and use throughout the day as its the easiest one to apply. I feel like I do nothing all day expect put this on. It is very greasy on the lips and leaves that horrible greasy look and once it comes off I feel the need to apply it again as my lips are so sore and so tight. I will use this product up but will not be repurchasing.

If anyone has any lip balm recommendation to help out my quest to find the best lip balm of all time then I am all ears!

Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Serum

Recently I have been trying a lot of night serums to try and improve the texture of my skin – I am glad to have found the Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Serum. I haven’t really ever had the best textured skin, now that I wear make-up on a daily basis I notice the areas that are not the best even more. My make-up will stick to those areas or the texture pushes the make-up up over the area – this makes it even more noticeable to me. One night I took my make-up off and got really frustrated with my bad skin and took to google to find a product that would help me – the one that kept popping up and had good reviews was the Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Serum. I quickly bought the product and as soon as it arrived I tried it out… needless to say I was not disappointed. I used this product   each night and it just blurs any bad texture areas, it makes my skin feel so soft which is what I look for from many of my skincare products. As this product blurs the texture it makes my make-up sit

Slimming World - Fresh Start

Following on from my 2017 Goals post I decided to write about my fresh start at Slimming World. As I said I joined Slimming World in December of 2015 and for the first few months I really enjoyed having a new project to focus my time and energy on. However, I do think I went about it the wrong way - in the beginning I restricted what I ate so much that I barely ate anything that was not completely free on the plan and barely used any syns - and even though back then I had great weight losses and was very happy with how I looked, there came a day where I cracked and ended up eating anything and everything that was bad for me. Because I restricted myself to so much from eating the things that I enjoyed i just broke and ever since then I never really looked at the plan the same way - I was never very committed to it after that. I really believe that having the 6 weeks away from the plan and allowing myself to miss then plan and miss eating the healthy foods that I used to, I
