Strawberry Carmex - Kissible Lips
By: Niamh, September 07
Beautycouture.ie HQ has a little secret... Carmex is our ultimate lip balm. Yes, we may have dallied with Vaseline, Burt’s Bees and even Labello (ewwwwwwh!), but when it came down to a vote, the overwhelming consensus was that the only thing that keeps our lips kissablly soft is good, old-fashioned Carmex. But, while the old tin is sort-of retro chic, it’s still a bit behind its competitors in the design stakes... I know the tin harks back to 1937, but even the tube version is a bit gank looking! Nuclear missile-esque anyone?
Thankfully though, the lip boffins have introduced Carmex strawberry, which will not only brighten up the flavour but the packaging too! I personally was never a fan of the cherry version... it’s like a rotten Mr. Kipling Bakewell you found down the back of the couch. Having said that I’ve high hopes for the Strawb version.
Expect all the usual Carmex protection from menthol, camphor and beeswax, plus SPF 15. Its €3 from outlets like Boots, Topshop, and Urban Outfitter’s
