[unpaid/sample] This new launch hits the virtual shelves (and in stores should they be open) on 1st February which is excellent timing for peak lip problems. Now I think about it, I wonder if there was a focus group or survey for what month people’s lips are at their absolute worst because logically January would have been a better time for the reveal.
I like the Drink Up products – haven’t had a mask I didn’t like from that particular arm of Origins. This new lip butter fits right in with the hydrating reputation of the other Drink Ups – it’s smooth, very buttery and a good stayer so you’re not constantly needing to top up. They’ve thrown the book at it in terms of nourishing ingredients – avocado oil, avocado butter, mango seed butter, apricot oil, safflower oil, sunflower seed oil, evening primrose oil and rice bran oil, so that’s what provides the cushiony melt. The only thing I’m not keen on is the artificially sweet taste. Personally, I think it’s best as a night mask – all the ingredients lend themselves to intense nourishment so you might as well capitalize on that and let them work as you sleep. I found it to be a very softening mix and like the fact that I wasn’t constantly reapplying – I could feel a light film for several hours. When it launches it will be £16.50 which feels about right to me.

Sounds good Jane, I’ve been wondering if anything will ever top Lanolips Lemonaid – lost count the amount of tubes I have bought. I think i have one in every room of the house, every handbag, every coat pocket haha! x
I used to be mad for Lanolips but haven’t heard from them for ages so I will chase them up pronto to see if there is anything new x
Oooh great thanks, I have tried their Lemonaid exfoliating stick and their apple balm but always go back to Lemonaid, i absolutely love it x
It is SO good. I’m ordering a new tube today after this conversation!
Belated Happy New Year to you Jane, everyone at BBB towers and all BBB readers.
This sounds lovely! Can’t ever have too many lip balms. Will it be able to topple Sisley as BBB’s #1 lip balm I wonder…
Happy new year to you Chrissie! I’ll always have a fondness for Sisley – if I win the lottery, it’s where I’ll head first!
