Lip balms: Now this is something I didn't think I would write about. I don't usually use a lip balm. In fact, it's probably fair to say that I am not a lip person really. I find lip products {or the ones I've tried so far} uncomfortable and sticky. I also sport very long hair and I get paranoid at the thought of the lip product getting on my hair. I was offered the chance to try 2 lip balms from Mua Cosmetics, taken from the Love Hearts Collection, collection which was released just in time for Valentine's Day celebrations.
The lip balms exist in 5 shades (although, at this precise moment in time, I can only see 4 on the website). Today, I want to share with you my impressions on 'Sugar Lips' and 'Great Lips'. The packaging is just too cute for words. To give you an idea of the size, the container is about the same circumference as a bottle of Batiste. On opening the lid, I was greeted with a lovely smell of vanilla. I found the formula very light, smooth, moisturising, and most of all not sticky. A little goes a long way. Just a teeny weeny dab is enough to bring moisture to your lips. The cherry on the cake? The lip balms cost £2.
The daughter of my colleague at work (she's about 12?) was there when I received my parcel. Her eyes lit up when she saw the giant sweeties. I thought I could give them to her if I didn't get along with them, but I am afraid I am going to have to keep them. This is too good and too cute to 'waste' on teens. I love the light formula, the scent and the packaging too much to give them away.
This is totally the kind of lip balm you'd be proud to show off from your handbag, whatever your age, teen or all grown up. The lip balms reminded actually of the film 'Ratatouille', when the all grown up grumpy critique got all soft and gooey when he rediscovered his favourite dish from his childhood. If you've grown up with love hearts, this is a must have for you and for all girlfriends' Christmas stockings. I know, i know, it's only gone past Valentine's day. The thing is I don't even know if this collection is limited edition.
I don't remember the date when they'll be physically released in Superdrug stores, but you can already get your paws on them via the official website. Postage is low (£2.95).
How much: £2

This is a lovely post Liloo, Your pictures are gorgeous! I havent seen these in my local Superdrug but i really do love the look of 'sugar lips' and £2 is a bargain! xxx
I treated my daughter and I to a lip balm and nail polish each from this range and we both love them. My daughter is 10 and just really starting to get excited about makeup and I'm just a big kid really XD
We have 'Sweet Kiss' and 'Kiss me' both lovely colours for everyday wear (and I may discover that sweet kiss can be worn to school without being noticed as such)
I want these, such a bargain and remind me of the mac balms!
Omg I WANT!!! Can't wait to pick these up x
They look cute! But don't think i'll ever change from good old carmex! Xx
I love these D x
These look fab - my local superdrug doesnt seem to have em yet so fingers crossed I can track them down soon!
I'll get a few of these - packaging is much nicer than MUAs normal packaging x
These are very cute - my Superdrug hasn't got them in yet but hopefully soon! x
I keep eyeing them up on the website. It would be really great if someone from MUA would let us all know if it's limited edition or not!!
Oooh these look really cute and the colours look lovely.
