New year, new lip balm! :)
Since I'm almost done with the stick lip balm I religiously use at night, it's about time I reward myself by opening a new lip balm from my stash. Haha :D I've mentioned before that the OC me wants to finish a stick/pot of lip balm first before opening a new one so they won't accumulate. Now I have around 2-3 in circulation, which is not bad at all!
I'm madly in love with the Honeymania range of products from The Body Shop. I mean, everything from that line smells simply divine. From the bar soap (which I've kept in my drawer for x months already, and it makes my clothes smell really really good), to the shower gel and body butter, and now this cute little lip balm that looks like a tiny tub of lip butter (but it's a balm, not butter). The only thing I need now is the EDT to completely honey-fy myself! (And the EDT also smells super amazingly light, floral, sweet, and feminine.)
Okay back to the main topic, which is this lip balm!
The Body Shop Honeymania Lip Balm
This luxuriously sweet lip balm contains Community Fair Trade honey made from the nectar of wildflowers. It has a sweet, floral scent and leaves lips feeling kissably soft.
- Sweet, floral scent
- For softer-feeling lips
This pot contains 9g of honey goodness, and is good for 12 months after opening. (I'm pretty sure I'll be keeping mine for longer!)
Ingredients:
It contains grape seed oil as main ingredient. Also, honey of course! What's so nice about having honey is beauty products is because it acts as a humectant - something that attracts and retains moisture, very ideal for the lips where it easily gets dry.
The packaging comes in a pot, but the design is different from the regular Born Lippy Lip Balms. It comes in a similar packaging to The Body Shop's Lip Butters, but for Honeymania, it's a lip balm inside. I prefer lip balm over lip butter because it's transparent when worn, the latter comes in whitish shades that can make my lips look pale.
Swatches:
Bare lips
With Honeymania Lip Balm ♥
Even if it comes in a tub, this one's currently my favorite lip balm because of its texture, scent, and flavor. It has a buttery texture that melts on your lips upon application. It's able to comfort and hydrate dry lips right after application, and it stays on for around 3 hours. The scent is a subtle yet very lovely floral one, very mild compared to the entire Honeymania range. My favorite effect of it is that it makes my lips taste so kissably sweet! It has no tint, no SPF, but that's okay since I mainly wear this indoors. My lips look and feel healthier whenever I have this on. Even my youngest sister who isn't kikay at all and doesn't like makeup likes the Honeymania Lip Balm! ♥
Price: P250.00
Available at all The Body Shop stores nationwide

Lip envy! Your lips are always in great condition <3
ReplyDeleteWeird that it smells floral. I would've thought it smelled sweet?
Thank you, Tellie! ♥
DeleteIt smells more like flower nectar, not the foodie honey scent, but it tastes sweet. :D
I do the same thing where I have 2-3 lip balms open at a given time because may "moods" ako. Haha. I have one vanilla, one chocolate, and one in a zesty berry. I must admit I'm a bit of a lip balm hoarder. I keep some unopened ones in the ref.
ReplyDeleteIs the consistency/texture the same as with usual TBS lip balms? I had the satsuma one, but ended up feeling like it was soo sticky. Parang bad decision rin, kasi it had a strong orange-y taste I couldn't escape. That was my first and last TBS lip balm experience. :(
I like the vanilla and chocolate one. Sooo yummy! :D
DeleteI think this one has a similar texture to other TBS lip balms. I can't remember exactly, because it was in college when I last had a Born Lippy pot in Strawberry (that scent is love!). I agree that the Satsuma one has a strong scent. While I love the scent as a shower gel, I don't like it on my lips as well. Try Honeymania! You might just end up liking it. :)
Ahhhh! I love the smell of their Honeymania range. I gave Liz this one and she loves it too! :D
ReplyDeleteAh oo! Liz loves keeping the Honeymania bar soap in her closet as well, same as me! ;)
DeleteLove TBS honeymania line! I'm looking to get a set soon, but maybe I'll get this one first!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, Pat! I want a set too! :D
DeleteIs there a color in the lips or it's just your lips?
ReplyDeleteThat's just my lips, as this balm is not tinted. It makes my lips look and feel really healthy! :D
Deletei became TBS addict because of your reviews ms helen!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! You're welcome, Rhain! >:)
