I
love Weleda Skin Food so when I found out the range was expanding I was
excited. Naturally the first item I purchased was the lip balm.
In short I'm under-whelmed. Whilst this is an okay balm, it's not amazing. I was expecting amazing.
Skin
Food Lip Balm comes in an 8ml squeeze tube with a rounded head for easy
application. The tube is small enough to easily fit in a pocket or
purse.
I
received my balm a in summer. It was very difficult to get any balm out
of the tube and when I did finally manage to get some out, this
happened. Considering it's an 8ml tube, probably about a quarter of the
tube contents spurted over my bench. Not a great start.
I would understand this happening if I was squeezing the tube hard, but I wasn't.
I scooped up what I could and put it on my lips, waiting for miracles to happen. I'm still waiting.
The
texture is very light, with a glossy finish. I don't get long lasting
hydration, it's gone from my lips within half an hour. I've been using
mine as a lip gloss, it's shiny enough to pass for a gloss.
Skin Food Lip Balm has the same light, natural scent that the regular Skin Food has with no detectable flavour.
When
my lips are healthy Skin Food offers enough hydration to keep them
happy, I don't think it'd be very effective if my lips were dry, unless I
was reapplying it every fifteen minutes.
I see everyone talk about how good skinfood is supposed to be but to be honest ive never tried it and i dont really have any inclination to try it
