Sugarplum™ Nourishing Lip Balm

Hoping this would be a holy grail product I ordered two. The color is lovely and the packaging is high quality.

My only complaint is I found the balm to be incredibly drying. My lips end up super dry and irritated after wearing it for 30 minutes or so. So much so that I cannot wear it.

I have dry, sensitive skin, so maybe that has something to do with it. Other people seem to really love it, so maybe I'm just unlucky. But I felt it was worth mentioning.

Beautiful color that doesn't look too bright or dark. Lasts and doesn't seem to rub off onto my coffee mug. Durable and nourishing enough to withstand my days outside in a nature preschool.

I wanted a tinted lip balm that would be a good everyday staple, and after about a month of use I've really liked this product. The color is very buildable, and I usually only need a swipe or two to see a noticeable difference.

However, I deducted a star because I have found the balm drying. It has a minty smell and cooling sensation when applied, which is pleasant but is probably the cause of the dryness. I can still use it daily by also using some Vaseline on top, but it does prevent it being a single product solution.

I was visiting New Zealand earlier this year and came across Ethique brand products. I had left my lip balm at home in the United States and so purchased a tube of Ethique's nourishing lip balm. I was so impressed that I looked for it at home but only found it online. I immediately purchased two of them! I love your low-waste packaging, your commitment to ethical practices from one end of your business model to the other. And I love the way the product makes my lips look and feel.
