notes
I have been struggling with blisters on my upper lip for months. At first I thought it was just an ordinary windburn but it has gotten worse. I'm actually considering seeing a professional but I kept on delaying it because I think I can still manage (yes, I keep telling that to myself). And here comes the lip care.

It is fragrance-free (if anything, you'll smell the wax but it is not strong). It tastes a bit sweet and medicinal. This is a clear rich lip balm with a hint of yellow. It will give shine to your lips once you apply it.

I've been using this for weeks and my lips liked it right away. I put this on right after I purchased it and it just moisturized my very dry lips for hours. My lips were soft and shiny too. As for the blisters, I find it controlled once I used this. Aside from the moisture it gave, the sores were reduced too.

Here are the pictures:

April 1,2018. The before picture. It looked better on picture but it was really worse. Excuse the hairs 😄

April 22,2018. I religiously used the product. See the difference? I wasn't wearing the lip balm here. Btw, my blisters said hi 😁

I still have blisters because I don't think this will treat it (though I was hoping it will do the job) but I really like how my lips look and feel now. I may need to re-apply this more often on my upper lips. I love that this has spf. I need it especially I live in a hot and humid country.

As for the cons, this doesn't sink in to the lips quickly. Maybe because of the rich consistency? I don't know but I'm okay with it. I also think this is expensive for a high-street brand. Good thing it lives up to its promise. Thanks, vitamin E! 😁
