Balmi Lip Balm - The British EOS

So I've been pretty obsessed with trying to get hold of the famous EOS lip balm without the hefty postage cost! Since it is unavailable in the UK, you'd literally be paying so much more for postage rather than the EOS balm itself! So I was doing my usually browsing in Boots and found what seemed to be a cube version of EOS called 'Balmi', although it is pretty costly, being £4.99 for a little lip balm, I managed to get is for free! How you say? Well it was simply just part of Boots' 3 for 2 deal, so I thought id make the most of the deal and avoid the large cost and get it! 

So cut a long story short, this was about 5 weeks or so and I'm now onto my second Balmi, now there is quite a lot of actual lip balm in the little cube so it just shows how much I've used this! There are four 'flavours'; mint, coconut, raspberry and strawberry. The first one I got was coconut and I'm now using the strawberry one. And oh my days, they smell incredible!!! I could eat them, except they're not exactly ediable! But the strawberry literally smells like an old fashioned sweet shop!! So delish! 

Now the question is, are they overly moisturising? I'd say they're not the most effective lip balm I've ever had, but thy do the job for down one who has moderately dry lips during these winter months! 

Additionally they're super easy to carry around, you can pop them into your handbag and they're nice and easy to find, unlike most tube lip balms that seem to love hiding right at the bottom of your bag! They also have a little key ring where you can attach them to your car keys, which is just super handy!! 

Overall I'll definitely be purchasing my 3rd one once my strawberry one has been fully used! I'm thinking mint! Also, get your hands on it now as it's on offer in all Boots store for £2.99! Go go go! They're also fab gifts as a little stocking filler!! 

Lots of love,
