Review - The Body Shop Born Lippy Lip Balm in Watermelon

I have been using The Body Shop Born Lippy Pot Lip Balm's for as long as I can remember and have always thought very highly of them, being one of The Body Shop's most well-known and bestselling stock. The Body Shop currently offer many lip balms in many different flavours, such as The Born Lippy Pot Lip Balms in Strawberry (recently reviewed on my blog - link below), Raspberry, Watermelon, Satsuma Shimmer, Passionberry (which I have also reviewed on my blog - link below), and also the newer Born Lippy Stick Lip Balms in Strawberry, Plum, Pink Berry, Lychee, Pomegranate and Toffee. 

The Body Shop claims that their Born Lippy Pot Lip Balm in Watermelon moisturises and conditions lips and gives your lips a soft pink tint with a gorgeous shine finish and this is exactly what the lip balm does! The lovely lip balm also has a fruity watermelon flavour to it, which I cannot get enough of and neither can my boyfriend when I apply it onto my lips... a DEFINITE first date lip balm! The Body Shop say that the lip balm is " a glossy and moisturising lip balm, with a sweet fruity flavour, that leaves lips looking and feeling soft, smooth and kissable. Our cult lip balm in a pot gives colour, flavour and moisture for more kissable lips". The lip balm inside the pot is a gorgeous nude pink colour and creates a gorgeous gloss on your lips (as you can see on my hand below). I do wish that the colour from the pot would go onto your lips as it is almost clear.

The consistency of the lip balm is almost like a really smooth, thick jelly balm which I adore as you can instantly tell that the lip balm will moisturise and condition your lips.

The ingredients which make up the gorgeous lip balm are:- Ricinus Communis, Lanolin, Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax, Aroma (Fragrance), Cera Alba, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Silica, Benzyl Benzoate, Citrillus Vulgaris, Tocopheryl Acetate, Limonene, Ammonium Glycyrrhizate, Benzyl Alocol, Tocopherol, Linalool, Methyl 2- Octynoate, CI 77891, CI 19140 and C1 15850.

As you can see above, Beeswax is one of the ingredients which is sourced from Guide D'Espoir in Cameroon (means "Guiding Hope) where they produce some of the highest quality beeswax but where they also are investing in the development of the beekeepers and their communties, This product is Fair Trade and helps provide regular employment and fair wages to approximately 1,000 beekeepers, which in total helps around 10,000 people.

The other flavours you can purchase are Passionberry (which I have previously reviewed on my blog - link below), Raspberry, Strawberry (recently reviewed on my blog - link below), Satsuma and Pink Guava which all smell so delicious. These lip balms are perfect to wear on a night out, possibly on top of a lipstick when you may be getting a cheeky kiss as they all taste so gorgeous.

As I said in my previous review on the Born Lippy Lip Balm in Passionberry (link below), I made it my mission to purchase the balm in the flavours Watermelon and Strawberry, so now that I have purchased both I am now making it my mission to purchase some other Body Shop products which I can try out - if you would like me to try out and review anything in particular then please leave a comment below.

These lip balms are such a bargain being £2.00 for 10ml, and I find that they last for ages, even when you are constantly applying the balm to your lips like myself. You can purchase them from The Body Shop store or online their website (link below) and I would definitely repurchase this lip balm and other Body Shop lip balms.

Have you ever tried any of these Born Lippy lip balms from The Body Shop, and if so what do you think of the product? What is your favourite Born Lippy Pot Lip Balm?
