Review: Nuxe Reve de Miel - Baume Levres/Lip Balm


Ok so I have tried sooo many lip balms out there and none really WOWed me.. For some odd reason, I sometimes wake up in the morning and find the sides of my lips very dry and cracked! It's horrible.. So I went on the hunt for a lip balm that would fix that problem.. I searched high and low.. Even purchased By Terry's infamous Baume De Rose Lip Care but found that although it was good and luxurious, it just wasn't that great and I still woke up with cracked lips.

So because I've been really into natural products recently, I thought I'd check out Nuxe as they use many natural ingredients in their products..

And I came across my Holy Grail of all Lip Balms...

Product:
The formula is not your typical lip balm formula where it is creamy and soft etc. The formula of this lip balm is actually hard and thick.. But melts oh so nicely and effortlessly when you rub it.. The more you rub with your fingers or rub your lips together the smoother it gets on your lips.. So don't freak out if you feel that it's heavy.. U need a small amount and just rub rub rub and you'll see that it melts melts melts..

When applied to your lips, it moisturizes instantly but it stays matte! Yes unusual I know! But that's one of the things I love most about this.. Coz it makes a GREAT lipstick base (especially if you like wearing matte lipsticks) and you do not have to take it off like you would any glossy lip balm..
The best thing about this product for me is that I wake up in the morning after applying it at night, and my my lips are not cracked!!! So it does what it claims in terms of repairing your damaged lips!

Oh and the product goes on sheer.. So you don't have to worry about your lips looking yellow or anything like that..

Here's what Nuxe says about this product:

Fragrance-Free
No preservatives 
No artificial scents
Non-Sticky
Tastes of Honey and Grapefruit
Active Ingredients are: Acacia Honey & Shea Butter to nourish and intensely repair and Grapefruit Essence which provides a nice sensation of well-being


Final Thoughts:
This is a great lip balm for those who are looking for a moisturizing and repairing yet matte lip balm.. It's a great lip balm for those who like using products with as many natural ingredients as possible.. It is a great lip balm for those who don't like their hair getting stuck on their lips..

This definitely is one of my greatest finds!



What are some of your favourite lip balms or not so favourite ones?

Thanks for the great post- I'm actually in the middle of writing my post about how I can't find any lip balm (aside from my Lucas Papaw) that would actually heal my lips rather than just coating them.

Will definitely try this.

what a great blog you have!!!! and OMG Just perfect timing because I'm on the hunt for a good lip balm (I was considering a pharmaceutical company called Sanoflore but it isn't available in my local pharmacies, they have a lip balm in a pot, too!) Nuxe is available so I will go look for this, thank you so much for your presentation and review! I hope this will really soften my lips and make them hydrated for all day. :)

This lip balm sounds great. Checked the price on Amazon, it's not too bad but I might have to use up all my stuff before I splurge on this. :)
