Rose Petal Salve

My pet hate in winter is dry cracked lips. I have tried numerous different creams, balms and glosses to try to get rid of the flakiness. So with that in mind I was extremely pleased to find the Rose & Co Apothecary Rose Petal Salve in my October Boudoir Prive box.

It comes in a little round tin similar to that of Vaseline. I love how pretty and girly the tin is though, with a hint of vintage. 

The salve itself is also a gorgeous, girly pink.

It's marketed as an 'excellent all round salve' and that is exactly what it is. I primarily use this on my lips. I put it on last thing at night before I go to sleep and my pout is perfectly soft in the morning. It can also be used on patches of rough or dry skin, to keep eyebrows in place and it also makes for a good cuticle balm.

The thing I love most about this though is it's gloriously sweet scent. Although it is marketed as rose petal, the smell really reminds me of traditional Turkish Delight, which I adore. I love that after I've applied it, I can still smell the sweet aroma for ages after.

This is the first Rose & Co product I've tried, although I've had a little nosey around their website and I am very keen to try out the Cherry Kiss lip balm. Mmmm cherries.

Have you tried any Rose & Co products?

Palmers Cocoa Butter Lip Butter

Too much butter in the title....

I purchased Palmers Lip butter about a fortnight ago as I was having a very bad time with my lips. They were cracked and dry, and my Lush lip scrub along with some vaseline were just not cutting the mustard.

I've never tried any Palmers lip products before so was interested to try it out, it claims to soften and smooth lips. Plus, the scent is dark chocolate and peppermint...yum!!

The formulation is a pretty thick clear gel.  The smell is very strong, and it's exactly like After Eight sweets. So if you're not a fan of those stay clear. It is not at all sticky or gloopy once on the lips and it adds a subtle gloss.

As for improving the condition of my lips, I was very impressed. Because of the peppermint, it felt a little tingly once I applied it, which I like because to me, it feels like it's doing something. Within a few days my cracked lips had improved tenfold and they were feeling really nice and soft. Even though my lips are now restored to their non cracked selves, I've continued to use this as my daily lipbalm as it's just so bloody delicious...

Have you guys tried any Palmers lip products?
