Charlotte Tilbury Magic Lip Balm

February 9, 2015

I’m always on the hunt for the best lip balm to help my lips stay hydrated year round.  I think my lips may suffer a little bit extra because I enjoy matte lipsticks and lip stains and wear them often.  They have a reputation of drying out the lips.  I recently purchased the new Charlotte Tilbury Magic Lip Balm.  I’m willing to pay any price for a product that promises to hydrate.  This was a bit expensive at $35 for .17 ounces.  I purchased mine online.  It can be purchased at most fine retailers that sell Charlotte Tilbury products.

The product is described as follows:

The key ingredient is Propolis – a resinous elixir created by honeybees to protect the lining of the beehive with magical healing powers. It can be used to treat ailments from sore throats to cold sores, and to boost the immune system.

This is combined with natural wonders and youth-boosting actives, including:

• Hyaluronic acid, which fills out lines for plumper, fuller lips.

• Vitamin E, a free radical-fighting antioxidant.

• Argan oil, which boasts intense moisturisation and healing properties.

• A triple blend of jojoba seed oil, olive oil and helianthus seed oil to moisturise and seal the skin from external aggressors.

• Shea butter, one of the richest and most nourishing emollients around.

• Beeswax to naturally condition the lips.

It heals and soothes to leave your pout looking dewy and youthful. The hi-tech formula fuses powerful propolis – an elixir created by honeybees to protect the lining of the hive – with natural oils, shea butter and beeswax for baby-soft, plumped-up lips.

What did I think:   All of the above literature had me hooked before I even received the product in the mail. After using the product daily I have mixed feeling on this lip balm so far.  Firstly, I do not like the packaging.  Yes, it’s quite pretty.  However, I don’t like lip products that you have to dip your finger into for application.  It’s not sanitary, etc.  Also, it can get under the fingernails when scooping it out of the pot which is just gross.  I do like the way this product feels on my lips.  It does provide nice hydration to the lips.  I’m hoping that long term use will make magical things happen.  Lastly, I can’t get past the scent of this product.  It smells terrible to me.  It’s too fragrant in a botanical way for me.  Given the price of the product and all of the negatives I will probably not purchase the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Lip Balm again.  I really tried so hard to like this one!!

*I purchased this product with my own money.  All opinions stated are my own and are not influenced by anyone else.

    I really like the packaging on this though. I have the Lip and Cheek dual thing, and the packaging is sooo pretty- reminds me of the lid for this. I am all about the luxe lip balms!

      The packaging is definitely pretty. I love luxe lip balms too. Have you tried the La Mer one? The scent is much better to me. Thanks for stopping by! Stacie xo

    I am really impressed by the ingredients in this product and the fact it softens and plumps lips. I also would prefer if it wasn’t a lip product you have to stick your finger in, do they have another option, like a tube?

One dress that can pretty much be worn year round… yes, please! Just change the shoes and accessories and create a whole new look. #ad 

In the meantime, I’m loving this versatile style from @coldwatercreek that can be worn to brunch or lunch, to the office, or even for a night out on the town this Fall season.

It’s a soft knit that couldn’t be more comfortable. It looks great styled with a belt too.

Be sure to visit coldwatercreek.com for all of their new Fall styles or comment SHOP for links.

Just a few vacation highlights while we were able Just a few vacation highlights while we were able to enjoy some sunny outdoor fun.

Currently enjoying the same views, but from under an umbrella. No complaints from me!

Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of mine is the vertical lip lines in and above my lips. 

When @rebekahstarkey_np told me about this type of treatment, I was intrigued (but nervous). I did my research and decided it was time to just go for it. 

The numbing cream and Rebekah’s skill and attention to detail made a huge difference. I didn’t feel a thing and I’m so excited to see the difference in a few short weeks.

Skinvive is a hyaluronic acid treatment that is used for hydration, texture and radiance.

Yes, I did have some swelling and bruising, but things are already looking better.

Skin Pharm started in Nashville and now has locations in Texas, Georgia, Florida, the Carolina’s and opening soon in IL. Check to see if they have one near you for all of your cosmetic dermatology needs to help you feel more confident too!💖

Since I’m trying to use more clean sustainable products both in my home and on my body, I wanted to share an online marketplace for 1000’s of carefully curated and vetted essentials including cleaning products that are free of harsh chemicals, clean beauty products, expert curated vitamins and SO MUCH MORE!

My first box arrived at my home last week and I was so happy to see everything that I ordered including some clean beauty products to take on this vacation.

In fact, I’m over here ordering a few more things to change out nearly all of my home cleaning supplies to healthier options (great prices too).

Enjoy your day! I’m relaxing under an umbrella on the beach in Cabo today.🏖️

This soft + comfy green knit tank dress from Coldwater Creek comes with a matching long sleeve sweater for endless styling options. #ad

Wear it during the day as a tank style and switch it up for the night with the cropped sweater when the temperature cools off.

It’s flattering, fun, and available in multiple colors—perfect for every body. 

I love wearing it with the tall black boots and adding a few finishing touches.
