H&M Lips

On Friday I picked up these little gems from H&M, I don't normally buy the cosmetics from there as I said in this previous post. The prices are great for high street make up but its just never appealed to me before. The cosmetics stands are normally messy and half filled with dated plastic jewellery nobody wants and so I bypass it. But I have to say I have changed my mind since this little buy, we have a fairly new store on the outside of the Bullring in Birmingham that seems to be getting it right in terms of shopping space. Working in retail made me see just how easy it is to suck someone into buying things when its easy to shop from, so this sucker (aka me) got pulled into buying lip balms, like I need anymore! 

As for the products I'm smitten, the packaging is great, and they smell so good I could eat them. The texture of the Vanilla and Ginger balm is light and matte on the lips which is ideal, I prefer a balm to a Vaseline tin I feel they are a bit too greasy for me. They had a Pomegranate balm in the same style but a black and red tin, I wanted it of course but there was only one left that someone had sneakily used so I thought maybe not. The two glosses I got are clear and shiny as glosses are, there not like a thick juicy tube consistency though, they are quite fluid like so you only need a drop. I didn't need them obviously I only went in for a hair clip, but they were all less than £2 each so its ok. Like all of us I have 100's of balms and glosses but oh well when they look this cute who cares!
