Dr. Lipp Original Nipple Balm for Lips Review + GIVEAWAY!

Hi lovelies! A few weeks ago I got an email from Birchbox because I am part of their BirchBloggers program. From time to time I receive emails containing information on how to enter simple giveaways on Twitter featuring products I could win to review and guess what... I recently won! They sent me 2 Dr. Lipp Original Nipple Balm for Lips- 1 to review and 1 to giveaway! How nice was that?!

First on to the review!


Price: $14.50
Size: 0.50 fl oz/ 15 ml
Marketed As: "Packed with all-natural ingredients, Dr. Lipp’s thick, rich, long lasting formula is clinically proven to repair rough, flaky lips and smooth dry skin patches. Purified Lanolin is the closest thing to your skin’s own natural oils so it provides instant effective relief and the complex combination of lipids replenishes dryness and seals in moisture. Bonus: This versatile lip balm and gloss also heals cuticles, split ends, sunburns, and even diaper rash".
Directions: "Squeeze a small amount onto your fingertip and apply to lips. Reapply when necessary".


My first impression of this little guy was completely different than I imagined! I think all of us beauty lovers research products like crazy once we see something we like and I did just that with this. However, when I opened up this adorable yet hilarious box for the first time I couldn't believe how EXTREMELY thick the balm was! The product itself was so hard to squeeze out of the tube I initially thought that I got a defective batch haha. Once some finally came out I realized that that was the actual texture and I moved on with my life. As for the consistency it is identical to that of regular Vaseline and it really feels the same as that going on, it's just a bit more thick.


I have been using this on my lips for the past few days and I really like it. You just need a tiny bit and after getting used to the consistency I don't have much of a problem getting it out of the tube. I do think it's made my lips softer over the time I've been using it and it beats the staying power of a typical lip balm due to its thickness.

It feels a little bit heavy on the lips but I love that in a lip balm product because it makes me feel like it's actually doing something! It also has sort of a tacky texture which normally would bother me but it is so slight I actually prefer it because it prolongs the wear! It lacks any type of scent as far as I can tell and they do say that it is 100% natural which is pretty cool! I LOVE the idea of products you can use in multiple places and you better believe I will be keeping this multi tasking product in my purse because it is the perfect size. Since receiving it I have only used this on my lips but I can't wait to try it on my cuticles and feet next!

Now who's ready to win?!

Good luck and I can't wait to see who wins!
Love, Lacey
