Winter lip saviours

I've always had dry lips, and I must have tried everything available to try and solve this, but nothing has ever worked. So this winter, with all the ferocious weather we've had, plus my love for matte lipsticks, my lips have taken a battering, and were in the worst state.

Then stepped in my winning combination: Lush's mint julips lip scrub and Dr Lipp's original nipple balm for lips (what a mouthful). All I can say is wow, the effect this has had on my dry cracked lips has been phenomenal and I couldn't be more pleased.

So first up, the scrub. A gorgeous sugar scrub, which tastes of mint chocolate (nom) that does an amazing job at scrubbing away all the dryness. No nasties, just castor sugar, jojoba oil, vanilla extract and peppermint oil, to scrub and moisturize your lips back to health.

Next up, Dr Lipp's original nipple balm for lips. So getting past the name, this stuff really is incredible, I bought this after reading all the hype online, not really believing it would live up to my high expectations, but boy was I wrong. This lip balm has brought my lips back from their sorry state, to full, plump and moisturized again. To sum up in two words: In Love. Thank you internet. ;)

 Lush £5.25

Dr Lipp via Amazon £10.50

Although on the pricier end for a lip balm, I would still recommend it, if like me you suffer from dry lips (and a penchant for matte lipstick) and have not been able to find your saviour.

Do you have any lip saviours worth  looking out for? Tips and tricks more than welcome.

Welcome to the internet

So this is my first little foray into the blogosphere.
So hello, here we go....



















Who Am I?
My names Kiya Monique Kelly, I'm 21 and currently live in Brighton and I'm in my final year of a business management with marketing degree.

Why Am I Starting This?
I've never had something just for me. I've never been one of these people with a hobby or activity that is just mine. So here we are. As I'm currently in the middle of dissertation and final exams stress, it's very easy to be swept up into the pressure and negativity of being locked at my computer for hours on end with no personal outlet.

I've been reading blogs for the last four years, always with the intention of creating my own, but putting it off and giving myself reasons to not do it. I'm not sure where this is going to go, or what I'm going to feature, most likely a hodge podge collection of ramblings, things I've bought, and all the things I love, whether that be clothes, beauty, places or food. A general mish mash of what it will be like being a graduate. (Ahh scary)

So, welcome to the internet, little blog. Let's see how this goes.

Kiya
