Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm


Hello Lovelies! 

So recently I made a bit of a bold purchase off Cloud10Beauty and finally ordered the Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm after months of lusting after it and hearing such rave reviews. Without a doubt this is the most ridiculously expensive lipbalm I own at €12.50 a pot! So I was really hoping it would be worth it because I not only ordered the one in the tub, but I got the stick version too..(oops!) The logic behind that was because if I did end up loving it, I wouldn't want to bring around the tub with me in my handbag so a stick would be handier and it was free delivery over €15 so it just worked out better this way. Look at me justifying it already...

But I actually do love it! Honestly I didn't think it would make that much of a difference and I was a bit skeptical to all the hype but since using this my lips have felt and looked a million times better than before. The cold weather was really taking its toll on my poor lips and they were constantly chapped and really red and sore, regardless of what I put on them. I find the pot version to be a little bit thicker in consistency compared to the stick so I apply this at night, right at the end of my skincare routine and keep the stick in my handbag for touch-ups during the day. I love the matte finish that this lipbalm gives. It's completely non sticky and its very comfortable to wear if that makes sense. So like I said I pop this on at night and there is always some left on my lips by the time I wake up the next morning which is just incredible, it is just so long-lasting! It leaves my lips feeling so soft and moisturised so they are ready for lipstick straight away. It contains honey and shea butter so of course it is going to be amazingly moisturising!

The consistency of this lipbalm is very strange, it was one of the things I definitely had to get used to! It is really thick and you almost have to melt it a little on your fingers before you can apply it. It smells gorgeous too but the smell doesn't linger on the lips so if you don't like it you don't have to worry to much about that! I adore the packaging, it is a little glass jar so it is quite sturdy and feels lovely and luxurious to have on your bedside table.

Overall I completely think this is worth both the hype and the money, I'm so glad I did buy both versions because I don't see myself straying away from using this anytime soon! It is available to buy online here if you're interested!
