This month's Glamour magazine came with a choice of four Balance Me skincare products; you could choose from Rose Otto Intensive Lip Salve, Pure Skin Face Wash, Balancing Face Moisturiser, or Wonder Eye Cream. Priced at £12 for 10ml of product, the Lip Salve isn't the cheapest of lip products around, so what sets it apart from your average tin of lip balm?
The packaging claims, "Our petroleum-free, ultra-moisturising intensive lip salve is a daily beauty-must to plump, protect, and smooth away dry patches to leave lips kissably soft."
The website goes on to add the following: "We've blended super hydrating 100% natural hyaluronic acid and highly emollient and protective pharma grade lanolin to plump and smooth; our trio of organic shea, mango and cocoa butters to soften and protect against the elements; vitamin and essential fatty acid-laden rosehip, jojoba and virgin coconut oils to soothe and hydrate with rose otto, rose geranium and palma rosa to calm and balance. Balance Me uses the latest hi-tech natural ingredients and exquisite active aromas to create super natural anti-ageing skincare that delivers amazing results and brings your skin back into balance."
The white packaging with grey and pink detailing is simple and eye-catching, pretty without being fussy, and makes clear how proud Balance Me are of their product's 100% Natural Origin. The lid unscrews to reveal a slanted plastic applicator, which allows the product to be smoothed across the lips fuss-free on the go. When squeezed out, the salve is a creamy yellow colour with a thin ointment-like consistency; it has a strong scent of rose geranium, although this doesn't linger once on the lips and it doesn't really have a taste. It applies to the lips easily and without mess thanks to the moulded applicator, and immediately leaves them feeling softened and moisturised.
Did you pick up any of the Balance Me freebies with Glamour Magazine? I also got the Pure Skin Face Wash, which I'll be reviewing over the next couple of days.

(This product came as a free sample with a magazine. Regardless of this, my review is still my honest thoughts and opinions!)
