Review - The Body Shop Born Lippy Pot Lip Balm in Strawberry

I have been using The Body Shop Born Lippy Pot Lip Balm 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, 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 Strawberry moisturises and conditions lips and gives your lips a red tint with a gorgeous shine finish and this is exactly what the lip balm does! The lovely lip balm also has a fruity strawberry 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". The lip balm inside the pot is a gorgeous deep red/pink colour and when applied to your lips, it creates a gorgeous sheer pink/red colour on your lips (as you can see on my hand below).

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.

I love the really cute packaging of these Body Shop Born Lippy Pot Lip Balms as they come in such sweet plastic pots. However, I would prefer this in a stick as I do find it quite unhygienic dipping your finger into pots and then onto your lips... I always had this problem at school with products like Vaseline and therefore I would hardly ever share out my lip balm!


The ingredients which make up the gorgeous lip balm are:- Ricinus Communis Seed Oil (Emollient), Lanolin (Emollient), Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax (Emulsifier), Parfum (Fragrance), Cera Alba (Emulsifier/Emollient), Hydrogenated Castor Oil (Emollient), Silica (Absorbent), Tocopheryl Acetate (Antioxidant), Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil (Occlusive, Skin Conditioning Agent), Ammonium Glycyrrhizate (Flavour), Aroma (Flavour), Fragaria Vesca Fruit Extract (Natural Additive), Tocopherol (Antioxidant), Benzyl Benzoate (Solvent), Cl 15850 (Colour).

The other flavours you can purchase are Passionberry (which I have previously reviewed on my blog - link below), Raspberry, Watermelon, 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 the Strawberry lip balm it is just the Watermelon one I need to purchase now.

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?
