I have to admit that this La Mer "the lip balm" is one of those little luxuries that you must treat yourself with every once in awhile. I tried a little sample that I bought from a beauty blog sale along with some other La Mer samples and I just loved it. Honestly, at first glance, it looks like a big pile of wax but when you read the story behind "the lip balm" you realize that you're getting not just a lip balm but an emollient that's full of hydrants that only La Mer can put together. I was drawn to purchasing the full size because my natural lip color has turned from pink to brown over the years. I've never smoked so I will just say it's from the elements of nature I suppose. La Mer's entire formulation is based upon the premise of lightening and this product is no different.
What the website says:
Relieves dryness: Thinner than any other area of the face, the lips are virtually defenseless against subtle changes in wind, temperature and dryness-requiring special attention. The Lip Balm is a luxurious and intensely reparative formula that works on contact to soften roughness, relieve discomfort and help rejuvenate seriously dry lips. A potent concentration of La Mer's nutrient-rich Miracle Broth™ renews the delicate lip area while a patented Lip Lipid Complex delivers moisture and strengthens lips' moisture barrier to help prevent further damage. Flavored with cool, refreshing mint. Apply to lips with a light patting motion.
