Posie Balm

Hello there;

A few months ago I realised that I had racked up £30 on my BirchBox account. Now I could have left it there and not spent it. But come on I am a weak weak person and couldn't resist going onto their online shop and snooping around.

I decided on getting a couple of Benefit goodies! 

I am such a sucker for a lip balm. I am not even joking, I think I now have 15 in my stash?! And I do use them for work so I think 15 is an okay number to have. But enough of that, lets talk about Posie Balm.

When Benefit released these in back in June I thought they looked beautiful, but a tad out of my price range. So when I had technically free money from BirchBox, I knew I needed one. The hardest choice was picking between Posie, Bene, Cha Cha and Lolli balm. They all have a slight tint to them representing the every so famous Cheek Tints sisters. 

I am so glad I went for Posie balm as the packaging for the actual balm is beautiful.

Beautiful rose gold packaging. That was nearly next to impossible to photograph when flash is needed. Please forgive me?

The consistency of the product is dreamy, it glides onto your lips leaving them feeling instantly softer and hydrated! What I would prefer from this is the balm had a slight scent, but sadly it smells of nothing. I think MAC lipstick have spoilt me. 

The colour pay off this is literally a tint! I did think it would be a little more pigmented but I do like the subtle hint of pink that this leaves on my lips. It does need topping up over the day too, the balm isn't as hydrating as a few other balms I have used over the years. But man the prettiness makes up for it. I am such a magpie.
