Lou's Reviews || Balmi Lip Balm


Aloha Sprinklerinos,

If you read a lot of beauty blogs then you may well have read a little bit about this product before as I believe the PR company running the Balmi shibang sent out a fair few- yay for being generous!!

Even though these are featuring on lots and lots of other sites, I thought I would throw my two cents in anyway because I'm just wild like that. 

Balmi is a beautifully scented natural lip balm that comes in 5 different flavours and is available to buy in boots for £4.99.


This globe shaped balm is available in 5 different flavours (mint, coconut, strawberry, blackcurrant and raspberry) and contains vitamin E, shea butter and jojoba oil. 


I have been using the coconut lip balm (in white packaging, crazily enough) for a couple of weeks now and absolutely love it. I really feel like my lips are left nourished and succulent and unlike some lip products, this lasts a fair few hours before you feel you'd like a top up.

I featured this is in my July Favourites video and pointed out that if you pull the little keyring/bag charm attachments, a little portal at the bottom is opened and the product is left exposed. Whilst talking about it I thought it was a safety issue (choking hazard for Mama's like me) but a couple of people in the comments thought it might be an alternative way of using the balm- like to apply with your finger sort of a deal. It's still a mystery to me, but I thought I would tell you anyway!

All in all, a good product. Lip balm doesn't really float my boat on a general basis, it's just sort of a thing that is about, but this did excite me a little bit, I thought it was 'neato'.

Have you tried these balmi balls? Have you noticed how similar they look to the EOS ones?

Toodlepip!

  17. These just seem to me to be the British EOS. I have been using EOS for a while and love the stuff, and Balmi seems to be a complete copy of it. At least it's more accessible than EOS :)

  25. I thought they were EOS until you said otherwise! I actually think I'd prefer the Balmi ones though. Coconut sounds delish! Man I wish I was back in the UK.

  32. When i watched your July fav's video i was thinking they looked an awful lot like EOS lip balms. And i think it was brilliant you pointing out the issue with the peice that can be pulled off. I too am a mummy and my little boy loves playing with all my make-up, no matter how hard i try to keep it away from him. Now that you've pointed it out i think all mummy's will ensure its kept well away from cheeky hands x

  38. Hmm, well the whole thing about the string bit coming out easily is a little sketchy. I don't really think it's an alternative way to use the product... Bizarre. Have you tried the EOS lip balm? If so, how do they compare?

  39. i really want to try these out ! so similar to EOS

  40. I've never seen or heard of those before- shows how little I pay attention! I think that the coconut one sounds the most appealing to me, so I might pick one up if I'm in the mood for meaningless buys and wandering around boots! Very interesting, if I do say so myself.

  44. The packaging does look similar to the eos lipbalms. Looking at the ingredients though they're not quite the same. Eos have mainly plant and fruit oils, such as olive oil and jojoba oil, while this one contains various forms of mineral oil and petroleum. Considering that the websites that sell eos lipbalms sell them for around £5, personally I'd go for those. I actually just posted a review of the eos lipbalms on my blog before I saw your post. :)
    The keyring thing is a clever idea! :) xx

  53. Without reading the name of these balms, they totally look like EOS lip balms. I wonder, do the globe like lip balms have more, less or the same amount of product then a regular tube? Being a mom I definitely agree with you about the back coming off being a possible hazard for little ones. Even if things are put out of reach from little hands, they always tend to get them somehow.

  54. its the uk version of the eos lip balms lol

    ReplyDelete
  55. Odd question, but how easy is it to make the keychain bit come off? I am super paranoid about lip balms coming apart and getting all over the inside of my bag (it has happened before. Many times.) and the idea of the product being exposed sounds completely disgusting and potentially disastrous. I prefer a lip product that seals well!

  58. I've tried at least 15 different brands of lip balm over the years as since I was 9 years old I've had terrible dry, chapped, peeling lips and for me, nothing can beat Carmex. Sure, I'm fond of other brands (Rose Vaseline, Bodyshop Lip Butter) and I'm intrigued to try these out :)

    ReplyDelete
  59. i am currently using a UVA Lipscreen which is really moisturizing, balmi reminds me of 'eos' that every american beauty guru has been raving about! i think i might but it in mint :)

  63. They look sweet, even though I am not a fan of Lip balm in a pot. Maybe I should try one out if you think that they are any good. Rasperry or coconut would do it for me. :)
