I was playing around in my lipgloss stash this weekend and found not one, but two tubes of C.O. Bigelow My Favourite Lip Balm. I never usually repurchase something like lip balm (unless it's changed my life like this one one or this one) because I have such an A.D.D.iction to them.
I remember picking this one up when Bath and Body Works had one of those 3 for 2 type deals, and after deciding that I'D over-backed-up (though...is there such a thing?) my Mentha Lip Tints, I'd take the impulse plunge and attempt something new. Of course, that almost never happens =P.
Thing is, this was about a year ago -- I thought I liked this balm, but apparently somewhere along the line, it just dropped off my radar. I reapplied and I realized why. This is exactly that sort of liquid-y, non-sticky balm/gloss combination that I hate. I think it was thicker when I first bought it, but maybe with time it lost a little molecular integrity? No idea. Either way, it was an adequate moisturizer, but nothing impressive or spectacular.
Either way, I wiped it off quickly with my fingers and absent mindedly rubbed it into my cuticles. A couple minutes later I realized that it had completely absorbed. Just for luck, I tried one more time.
A new cuticle oil? That's what I call shopping your stash.
I think i'd like this. :) I love balm/gloss hybrids.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes use lip balm as cuticle cream or even on my hands if they're super dry in the winter. I've never tried this particular brand, though.
ReplyDeleteI don't actually /like/ lip gloss or lip balm...but now I suppose I'll be looking to try them on my hands. Should be an interesting experiment.
