One part of my face that I really take care of. Are my lips.
I've been complaining on how dry they get, how easy I get to have windburn on a tropical country (weird), how easily I can get from normal lips to a lips of Angelina Jolie multiplied by 3! LOL How easy it gets to be discolored at times!
The list of complaints will go on, so what a girl to do? Take some action! I have been mum about my lips when I started using my Kiehl's No. 1 Lip Balm, the original formula, this product has both raves and rants. In my opinion, I love it, it works for me! I've finished 1 tube and now on my 2nd tube. I haven't formally done a review on it because I wanted to review something FIRST.
The Kiehl's LpBalm SPF15
*you don't feel the lovin' on my tone* lol
Here's my Lip Balm in Hue 58B
Kiehl's says ---- Helps protect against sunburn
- Relieves chapped lips
- Hue 30G is a light golden color with peach tones, similar to our Golden Berry Lip Gloss
- Hue 58B is a sheer lip gloss with cooler red tones, similar to our Black Raspberry Lip Gloss
- Not tested on animals
Temporarily protects and helps relieve chapped or cracked lips. Helps protect lips from the drying effects of wind and cold weather. SPF15 sunscreen provides UVA and UVB protection.
Askmewhats says ---Pros- the tint is pretty on lips, looks natural
- easy-to-squeeze tube, you can get the product easily
- not tested on animals! :)
- has SPF15
Cons- ugly tip, there's something weird with the way they made the "applicator". No matter how OC I am in wiping the tube and the cap itself, every time I open to cap, it looks like THIS (photo below)....and no, it's not just sitting inside my bag, it's inside my make-up pouch and cap sealed tight all the time.
- my chapped lips aren't relieved at all
- the tint is gone in less than an hour
OverallThe first time I tested the color, I've wanted this so much and it made me want it more when I learn that it was out-of-stock!
OUT-OF-STOCK = GREAT PRODUCT
WRONG!!!
On my most recent HK trip, I visited Kiehl's and imagine the excitement I have when I saw this color available. Good thing I didn't hoard and bought only 1!
I love Kiehl's No. 1 Lip balm so much that I can't believe I won't give the same lovin' to the Lip Balm SPF version. What I love about Kiehl's is the "no animal testing" and the simple and straight to the point packaging.
I know a lot of users rant about the bad packaging of the Original Kiehl's
(photo below) because it's unhygienic, and with SPF version, they came out with a different applicator...I was thanking the heavens, but I got excited too early!
It still doesn't workout the way I wanted them to be....
What's wrong Kiehl's? Vaseline has great tube packaging for the lip products! I am just wondering....I really am...
- always wipe the tube after use especially if you apply the balm directly onto your lips.
- if you own the Kiehl's LipBalm SPF15, apply this over the lips, then top with a lipstick RIGHT AWAY, gives out a smooth base.
Will I repurchase?No
Where can you purchase and how much?I purchased mine at Kiehl's HK, there's only one Kiehl's store in the Philippines and they are located at Greenbelt 5. This Lip Balm SPF15 costs around Php700++ (approx $ 14.00). Sorry I asked the price 2 years ago so I can't remember the exact amount.
Here's how Hue58B looks on my lovely chapped lips! lol
Fresh application looks really pretty noh?
Do you own a Kiehl's LipBalm SPF15?Does it work for you? I hope so!There are some products that I try to love! I did my best trying for 3 months! lolHave a great week ahead!It's Monday! Accck back to work after the holidays!I'll keep on smiling! lolStay Happy everyone!
