Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment & NUXE Rêve de Miel Lip Balm

Something very tragic happened this week, but something really amazing also happened. You wouldn’t think I was talking about lip balms here would you? 

My beloved Fresh lip balm finished; the very last bit fell off and I was so upset. I bought it in New York at Christmas and wrote about it in this post and for some reason haven’t really spoken about it since. I don’t know why, because I absolutely love it. I love the packaging and it has lived in my handbag ever since I bought it. I will definitely be repurchasing it and it also gives me an excuse to go to the Fresh store on Marlebone High Street. 

I finally caved and bought the NUXE Rêve de Miel lip balm. Anna’s post made me want it and Estée’s post made me need it. I first discovered NUXE in the September GLOSSYBOX but haven’t really explored the brand. The lip balm has a really nice, subtle lemon scent and has quite a strange texture. It’s matte and very thick which is a nice change as ‘glossy’ lip balms tend to slip off my lips quite quickly. I do find it quite hard to apply but once it’s on it stays put and really does wonders for my lips. It’s £9.50 which is a bit crazy for a lip balm, but I’m happy to spend that as you get a 15ml pot and it’s a great product! 

Have you used either of these? Are you a lip balm addict?
