NUXE RÊVE DE MIEL LIP MOISTURISING STICK {REVIEW}

I honestly dread to think how many Lip Balms I have used and spent money on over the years, as its always been a part of my beauty regime from way back when I was a teenager and I'm happy to report that they've come on in "leaps and bounds" with regards to research & development since then.

On Beauty Shout Box I have reviewed several Lip Balms etc., some great and some not so great, others just disappointed and some just didn't live up to expectations and my 

latest review on the 

NUXE Rêve de Miel Lip Moisturising Stick 

sadly fell into the latter category...

I recently purchased this Discovery Offer from NUXE which contained one of my 

favourite Hand Creams to read that review and the Lip Balm in a stick form, which I hadn't tried, so it was a good opportunity to put it to the BSB test.

All the Pink Links to previous relevant product reviews will be down below.

My Top 3 Lip Balms (as of May 2019) included the NUXE cult product

NUXE Rêve de Miel Ultra Nourishing Lip Balm

My Top 3 Lip Balms

NUXE Rêve de Miel Ultra Nourishing Lip Balm

  

NUXE say that their Lip Moisturising Stick is an intensive, ultra-nourishing formula, 

with a potent blend of honey, plant oils, shea butter and grapefruit essence, which delivers consistent hydration and protection (particularly in colder, wintry climates) without any irritating stickiness.

I can't really disagree with any of their claims above, as it depends on how dry or chapped your lips feel, I was just expecting the Lip Moisturising Stick to be as nourishing as the their Ultra Nourishing Lip Balm, especially as it also claims to have an ultra-nourishing formula, unfortunately it's a "lightweight" in comparison.

I found the nourishing elements to soon disappear on my lips leaving them

 somewhat dry still and that's something that I don't experience with the 

Ultra Nourishing Lip Balm and something I don't enjoy.

The clear slightly honey scented Lip Moisturising Stick is perfect though for speedy, 

on-the-go use and way more convenient than the pot format.

 It also acts as the perfect base for under the driest of matte liquid lipsticks.

I also discovered that it can also be applied to dry patches anywhere on the skin

and can be soothing on eczema or psoriasis and being packaged in a lipstick ensures

its super quick and easy to both carry and apply.

Contains 90 % natural origin ingredients and does not contain Parabens.

I know this will sound very contradictory, the NUXE Rêve de Miel Lip Moisturising Stick

isn't a bad product by any means, but I can't help compare it to their 

Rêve de Miel Ultra Nourishing Lip Balm, so if you are looking for a super nourishing

lip balm from NUXE and don't mind the pot format, which lasts for ages by the way, 

then skip the Lip Stick and head straight for the pot, but if you want the convenience of being able to apply on the go then the Lip Moisturising Stick is an option and

whilst I will finish this product I wouldn't re-purchase...

BYTERRY BAUME DE ROSE {REVIEW}

I always have a forever changing "Luxe Beauty Wish List" and on that list

 are two rather pricey Lip Balms.

The one is from the French brand BYTERRY BAUME DE ROSE and the other is

 LA MER The Lip Balm

 both have been highly praised by beauty editors and bloggers around the world and curiosity has gotten the better of me, so they're both on my list.

Earlier this year I treated myself to the

BYTERRY CELLULAROSE BRIGHTENING CC SERUM 

To read my full review

I absolutely love this product and on the strength of that I was able to tick off

 my list the

BYTERRY BAUME DE ROSE

Baume de Rose Lip Balm 

is without doubt the Rolls Royce of lip care and being a Lip Balm Junkie 

I feel I can say that, after having many years of experience in trying all types of lip products ranging from drugstore offerings to high end indulgences. 

This product forms part of the Baume de Rose collection of products, so as would would expect the entire range is fragranced with a delightful delicate rose scent that soothes the senses.  

The balm has a velvety smooth texture and a non-sticky finish.

This balm harnesses the power of rose blossom essential wax to soothe and repair the condition of dry, chapped lips.

Enriched with Vitamins for intense moisturising this balm is both regenerative 

and protective.

Nourishing shea butter, antioxidant vitamin E and ceramides help strengthen and protect lips against everyday aggressors. Hyaluronic acid microspheres prevent lips from feeling dehydrated.

This balm has several ways to use:

Use fingertips and apply a generous amount over the lips.

 Use alone or apply under lip products as a base for a smoother lip finish.

 For a glossy effect apply over lipstick.

Massage into the nails and cuticles to make them feel softer and smoother 

For a more intensive lip treatment, apply a generous amount over the lips and leave to absorb overnight.

I tried all of the above ways of application with the exception of massaging it into my cuticles, as I was way too mean to use my precious lip balm on my nails, but apparently it has great results.

My preferred way of application is to leave overnight, which works exceptionally well on drier lips, but this product miraculously leaves your lips looking great and feeling softer anyway way you apply it.

I understand that with an R830 price tag for this multi purpose lip balm doesn't fall into everyone's budget,but if it does then this is definitely one to add to your beauty wishlist.

I have no regrets about my purchase, however I do have one looming problem,

I'm starting to worry about the day my pot is empty...

BYTERRY 

is available exclusively in South Africa from Metropolitan Cosmetics and they have 3 

beautiful boutiques in Sandton,Hyde Park Corner and Melrose Arch and for those living in 

other areas of SA,you can order online.

They stock several niche skincare and fragrance brands including 

Dr Sebagh

Zelens

Tan-Luxe

StriVectin

Jack Black

DELAROM

If you don't have any overseas trips planned or don't want to get involved in ordering direct from overseas due to the erratic customs charges we face 

or you can't get a cosmetic mule to bring back for you then 

Metropolitain Cosmetics is the answer.

After much research regarding overseas pricing, especially on the BYTERRY range 

the price you pay in SA is around 10% more than the UK for example

 (based on the todays rate £1= R18.69)

Which is far less than the 3rd retailer websites we have in SA, which I refuse to buy 

from due to their exorbitant pricing structure.

I have tried so so many, but I thought I would write this post to let you know which are my top 3 and are well worth a spend, they also happen to all be from French brands.

I could have easily made this into a Top 5, but I wanted to just focus on my 3 all time faves

 and the ones that I have permanently on hand.

CAUDALIE 

LIP CONDITIONER

This Lip Conditioner from the French brand Caudalie is a more recent discovery of mine

and offers the ease of a lipstick type lip balm, that's super easy to whip out 

and apply as often as needed.

It glides easily across the lips and contains a delicate vanilla scent and with its 

anti- oxidant properties it delivers nutrition and protection all day long.

NUXE

 RÊVE DE MIEL

 ULTRA-NOURISHING LIP BALM

If I had to give you my absolute best lip balm ever it would be this pot of lip magic

from the French brand NUXE.

Not only is it a multi award winning product,

this best-selling lip balm with Honey and precious oils is highly concentrated in ingredients that nourish, repair, soothe and protect even the driest and most damaged lips  and this deceivingly small pot seems to go on forever, so much so, that I recently

featured this product in
