Hurraw Lip Balm

With my recent I herb order I decided to try these balms out as my lips are super dry due to winter. I chose three flavours, Moon Balm (which is a night treatment), Grapefruit and Chai.

These come colour coded and in tubes that are a kind of oval shape, as opposed to the traditional circle shape. They twist up from the bottom.

All of the balms I chose have a delicious scent, indicated by the name. Grapefruit is my favourite and it smells exactly like an actual grapefruit. These apply clear so don't stain your lips, don't feel sticky or goopy and they are really hydrating.

Overall I was super impressed by these and once they run out I'll definitely be purchasing them again.

I have the Moon Balm and the Vanilla one. I cannot get over how nice these smell. They are both super hydrating and lock in moisture so your lips aren't dry and chapped. I wear the Moon Balm to sleep everynight and I never get cracks in my lips anymore. The only thing I dislike about this product is the packaging, I prefer the traditional twist-up sticks over these ones but it doesn't phase me too much.

This is my favourite lip balm in stick form. I have two flavours: chocolate and cinnamon and I like them both. It is hydrating as lip balms should be and I think it lasts well on the lips. It's also not sticky which I love and the fragrance is true to the flavours. The chocolate one smells so good you'd want to eat it and same with the cinnamon. Some may not like the fragrance but I do.

I may have a new problem…… hoarding these lip balms! So far I have tired the lime, coffee and black cherry variants of the Hurraw lip balms. My fave one was the coffee one so of course I've lost it. Overall these lip balms are really nice and exactly what you want and expect from a lip balm. They are a nice consistency and go on well. They are super moisturizing for my lips and I have noticed my lips are in much better condition and I'm having to do lip scrubs less since starting to use this lip balm. The black cherry one of these that I have is tinted and its a great amount of tint. It gives a really nice pinky red colour and stays on well. I love the packaging of these lip balms. They are an ellipse shaped tube so they fit really nicely into small jeans pockets. The twist mechanism works really well in them too. I really love these lip balms and I'm stocked to have found them at my local organic shop so I get them easily since I tend to lose them so often!

I kept seeing this everywhere so I thought what the hey I love a good lip balm and the fact that it is all natural/vegan even better so lets give this a whirl and conveniently popped one of these bad boys into a beauty bliss order  – I bought this in lemon because I love a fresh lemony scent.

Firstly the packaging - this is actually a little different to your average lip blam a more of a cylinder type shape than a round tube with a clear click on lid and little turn screw base at the bottom to move the lip balm up. I really liked the shape of this balm feels much nicer in my hand 

Now for the fragrance ! – I generally hate fragrances in all my beauty products I like everything to be as fragrance free as is possible however when it comes to lip balm for some reason this goes out the window and I love sweet and fresh smelling balms. This is a really lovely fresh lemon scent that reminds me more of lemon lollies than lemon cleaning products . Possibly my all time favourite fragrance to date.

Texture wise this lives up to its name its smooth its not sticky or glossy or too sweet or smelly and it does make your lips feel nice and soft glides on like a dream. It doesn’t dry your lips out or cause any irritiations.

I do find this doesn’t last as long as my HG balm - blistex and I did need to apply this more often than I would using my HG balm.

All in all for $7.00 which is a pretty average price in terms of balms I would buy this again but its not topped my favourite.

Mmmmmm, lip quenching yumminess. I really enjoy these balms. They make your lips feel great and come in a variety of cool flavours. Perfect for all seasons. I also like the unfussy packaging. The men in your life can carry one with them and not get looked twice at. The unique oval shape is really nice too, it fits your lips well. The fact that its fair trade, organic and vegan makes it even better.

All across the internet I have been witness to people gushing over how amazing this product is, from famous youtubers to women in our very own BR community. I made an executive decision that if I ever came across these balms I'd buy them - and I found some. I bought one off of shelivescrueltyfree.com and the other off of iHerb.

I think the thing that makes this product so great is the fact that it is all organic and vegan. But, in saying that, I think that's exactly why I don't like it. I am used to lip balms having things like beeswax and other animal products in it, and as this one doesn't, I find it weird and unsettling on my lips.

I have this balm in coconut and vanilla. Coconut was the one that arrived first, and when I opened it I got a massive smack in the face of coconut. They smell like the coconut macaroons that Griffins make! Delicious. I swiped it on my lips a few times - I don't like the texture. Yes, it's smooth, but I guess I was expecting something creamy. Instead it feels like I've put the balm through the wash and as I rub it on the water is coming out of the tube too. Not pleasant.

I haven't noticed anything fabulous with the staying power. I had a cup of tea and within 20 minutes I needed to reapply. Once it has worn off the lips, they feel even more dry than they were to start. I haven't noticed anything great about it being moisturizing either. The balm is very slippery and I find it gets in the back of my throat more than it stays on my lips.

Would I repurchase? No, probably not. I guess I just expected this to be so much more amazing than it actually is, and I'm a little disappointed.

This product I have had just over a week and I am addicted! I didn't have very high hopes for this product I thought it was way over hyped but it has knocked Paw Paw ointment out of the way and has become my new holy grail lip care product!

I got mine in the Moon Balm which is blue chamomile and vanilla and it smells amazing. I mainly bought it because this was the flavour one of the girls at work had and I fell in love, then it just so happened my nail lady got them in to her salon so I had to give them a whirl! The smell isn't overly powerful either when its on the lips. They aren't overly expensive(I think mine was $7.50) but its fine as I was able to buy locally and not have to pay for shipping which was a bonus.

The tube itself is a good almond/oval type shape which I find is better suited to the shape of the lips than the circle ones. It glides on easy and is not sticky or greasy or anything. It also stays on the lips for awhile and provides the most amazing moisturising for dry lips. You can literally feel how moisturised your lips are, especially after wearing it overnight. I will definitely be buying again!

I got 2 off IHerb and actually didn't have high expectations but wow, these are incredible! I have mine in coffee and black cherry. I love the coffee one, since I am a coffee addict anyway.

They smell amazing and are so great to apply and the great thing (in my opinion) is that the smell doesn't make it taste like anything because I don't like smelling the scent of my lip balm throughout the wear of it. It's slick enough so that it really doesn't drag and is as smooth as butter. I have to admit that initially, I had never tried such slick balms before and didn't like it. However, after having used them for 2 months now they are incredible and really do moisturize nicely. I apply it at night and wake up with smooth, velvety lips. It's also great to reapply throughout the day but I find myself reaching for the dark cherry one more since it does have a lovely tint (and also smells delicious)!

The packaging is simple but effective. I initially thought the oval shaped tube was weird but such a shape makes for an easy application - especially for the tint since you don't want it smearing everywhere. I also like that the screw is quite right so you don't accidentally twist it and smush the product. The price too is super affordable and I love how they are cruelty free, plus they also have a whole lot of flavones so you're bound to find one you like. Love love love - just need to get more flavours now!
