I'm no longer in the flush of youth, and neither are my lips. At 35, my lips are dry and not as unlined as they used to be. I'm constantly on the hunt for lip products to condition them.
I first read about Lanolips products in this post on the excellent www.lipglossiping.com. When one of my favourite Australian bloggers, www.dempeaux.com posted about it here, my interest was again nudged, and Dempeaux very kindly offered to pick me up a gift pack containing the 101 clear ointment and two tinted lip balms.
I'm loving this stuff. The 101 colourless ointment (100% pure lanolin) is as good as my Sisley lip balm, and it doesn't have the odd medicinal smell that lanolin products sometimes do. My favourite product from the gift pack is the Lip Ointment with Colour in Apples, a slightly pinkish red that gives me a healthy looking lip, as pictured below:
If you don't have a friendly Aussie available, www.adorebeauty.com.au stocks the line and ships internationally (I've ordered Invisible Zinc sunscreen from here many times in the past.) The Lip Ointment with Colour is Aus$13.95 for 12.5ml.

I only mentioned in a post yesterday how I wasn't going to buy any more lip balm etc until I use up what i've got! That might go out of the window now!
ReplyDeleteI've heard by Aussie mates talking about this stuff but i've never seen it before. It looks like the colour might be really strong but the pinkish tone is really soft and subtle...it looks really lovely on you.

I've heard such amazing thins about this lip balm and that colour looks so pretty!
ReplyDeleteglad to see Aussie brand Lanolips is finding new fans in the UK!! I've swatched it too on BeautySwatch, all the shades actually.
ReplyDeletelovely, lovely, lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe new Rhubarb shade is calling me too!
That's such a pretty colour. I will confess to using Lansinoh as an overnight treatment on my lips. But a coloured lanolin sounds like a much better idea!
ReplyDeleteLanolips is so popular here in Oz and overseas, it is just so good! My favourite is Dark Honey.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that it is also available at www.Addicted2LipBalm.com.au and we have a great range of Australian and international lip care brands, we ship worldwide. xx
