Lanolips Lip Ointment coming to the UK

I've been a convert to Lanolips ointment since www.dempeaux.com kindly sent me some back in April as part of a cultural exchange (following a review on www.lipglossiping.com that really made me want the stuff). The ointment is 100% pure medical grade lanolin (it's completely scentless) and it works on dry cuticles and stubborn patches of dry skin as well as on dry lips. The tinted versions have spf 15 and other natural oils mixed in with the lanolin base, and I find they are very similar in feel and effect to the Prada Shielding Lip Balms.

Lanolips is launching in the UK at the end of September at www.victoriahealth.com who have set up a waiting list here.

Swatches of the tinted ointment (left to right: Apples, a warm red, Rhubarb, a mid warm pink, and Rose, a light pink)
Swatches blended out:
Rhubarb applied. I find this a bit easier to wear than Rose, as it gives my naturally pale lips a little more colour.

Disclosure: Apples and Rose (and a 101 Ointment which is now too manky to photograph, having lived in my make up bag for 6 months) were sent to me by the lovely Aussie mentioned in this post, and I sent her some UK swag in return. The 101 Ointment pictured and Rhubarb were sent to me without charge by the PR Officer for Lanolips.

  3. I want these and actually got on the w/l but after an expensive mistake involving double bookings and hotels and a 20th wedding anniversary, this will have to wait. It is okay *sniff* I mean how many lip balms does a woman need?? It is just that this one looks sooooo good! Jan

  4. Hi MB - I like Rose, but I prefer Rhubarb on me. These feel lovely.

    Hi Marina - it's an excellent brand, and not badly priced either.

    Hey Lipstickmama - Boo! They will still be there after your expensive times though.

  5. Hi Grace! I know exactly what you mean about the 101 Ointment being too manky to photograph - mine's the same! I still love Lanolips, and am so glad it will be available in the UK. I love the Rhubarb balm on you. x
