Thoughts?

Not only does Glamour magazine boast interesting content and an affordable £2 price point but it regularly gives away some of the best freebies around. This month Glamour has teamed up with natural skincare brand Balance Me to offer one of four amazing products free with the August issue. You can choose from Balancing Face Moisturiser, Wonder Eye Cream, Pure Face Wash or Rose Otto Lip Salve. It was a tough choice but as I’m a huge sucker for lip products I plumped for the lip salve.

I really cannot say enough good things about this product. Made from 100% natural ingredients like virgin coconut, sweet almond, shea and cocoa butter it is intensively moisturising, I only needed a tiny amount to instantly smooth and soften my lips. Although it’s clear in colour it gives a lovely natural sheen meaning it can be worn on its own or over your favourite lipstick. It is scented with a heavenly blend of essential oils and smells absolutely divine. 

The ergonomically designed tube is not only hygienic but the angled applicator applies just the right amount of product. The white packaging and purple floral design looks chic too!     

The only down side to the product is the hefty £12 retail price, although considering how concentrated the salve is I imagine a tube would last a very long time. If you’d like to try Balance Me Lip Salve it can be purchased here
