If you’re looking for an all-natural lip balm with a lipstick-angled style that leaves moisture, not a greasy film on your lips, Softlips PURE Natural Lip Balm in the Citrus is worth investing in. Let me tell you why!
Like previous reviewers, the packaging and the lip balm itself isn’t only aesthetically pleasing but allows you easy application. The packaging isn’t bulky or overly complicated; it’s white with simple lettering that is easy to remember. The angled finish of the lip balm is reminiscent of lipstick and thus allows you to coat your lips completely and evenly with this product.
This was a plus for me, as I hate lip products with flat shapes. I usually have to pull out a mirror to make sure that each inch of my lips are covered and that I have no excess products crusting around the edges of my lips. I didn’t have to worry about excess with this product. It applied smooth like transparent but glossy butter. I could build coverage and still not worry about my lips turning an unflattering, ghostly white. Nor did I have to worry about it becoming heavy. It stayed light. Another plus is that it didn’t drag and leave small shavings of product and it didn’t feel like I was wearing sticky wax.
Out of the three scents, Citrus is a winner! I think it was a great idea to incorporate the scent of citrus in this balm as it reinforces the fresh factor. I also think that the Citrus gives this lip balm a bit of a punch because the plain packaging could be a little boring. However, the scent isn't loud so you don't have to worry about the scent being too overpowering.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t contain any sun protection or SPF. After reading how many people neglect their lips when it comes to protecting their skin, I would have liked this balm more if it had a SPF of 15, as most dermatologists recommend that you have at least this amount. Brownie points if along with the all-natural ingredients, it contained a SPF of 30 . Still, this makes an awesome lip primer/base for lipstick and lip gloss.
Citrus is definately my favourite! Very summery and light. Out of three, this is the one that i would buy again. I love the lipstick style and size of the tube, it's hard to find lip balm that you can apply like lipstick
I've tried the fragrance free, bergamot and citrus varieties of this new SoftLips line. Quality-wise, they are all equally good, and I love the weightless moisturizing it delivers. I often wear a balm topcoat over my lipstick, and this is fantastic for that.
Of all the varieties, I liked this one the least. The citrus fragrance is less appealing than the other two, but that is my only negative comment. I will certainly continue using this, but would rather purchase one of the other flavors when I run out.
I really liked the citrus scent, it's light and natural smelling, not overpowering. Most scents bother me, but not this one, very fresh. The balm itself is terrific, smooth and not waxy at all. True to the name, my lips were very nice and soft with a nice sheen.
I received this lip balm as part of the Chick advisor product review team, and I know I should have had this review in sooner but I really wanted a chance to test it out. I like to try things for at least 3-4 days, sometimes products can change as you give them time. This product went on very smooth, it makes your lips extremely soft and it is very light, not too greasy like some lip balms can be. It comes in 3 scents, Citrus, Bergamot, and fragrance free, for this review I tried the citrus. But all the scents were just as appealing. I liked the way it was packaged just like a lip stick, it gives applying lip balm a little glamour. I used this product as a stand alone product and as a primer under my lip stick or gloss. As a stand alone product it started out working perfectly but over a few days it started absorbing into my lips quicker and unless I applied it every 10 minutes, my lips started to dry out. But underneath my lip stick or lip gloss it was excellent. It really smoothed out the texture of my lips. I liked the fact that it is made with all natural, food grade ingredients. Overall a very good product. I probably won't use it stand alone but I will continue to use it as a lip primer under my daily lipstick/ gloss routine.
Was lucky enough to receive this through the product review club. Great citrus flavour without being overwhelming. Loved the "lipstick" feel of it, made for easy application. Glided on very smooth and worked effectively. Original softlips was already a great product and now they've come out with a natural version. Works great on it's own or under lip makeup and doesn't have to be reapplied often.
This is my favourite of the 3 Softlips balms from the Product Review - the scent is a bit stronger than the bergamot variety yet not overpowering. Again, great product overall.
What I like;
-not greasy or waxy; very nice silky texture that moisturizes well and has hours of staying power
-lipstick-style shape makes it easy to apply
-natural ingredients like shea butter, jojoba oil, etc.
I agree with one of the other reviewers that it would be nice of the product was available with SPF.
i received all three of the PURE line of lip balms through the product review club (yay!) and i must say i like this one the best. the citrus scent is very nice and envigorating - although subtle - and in this case it wouldn't hurt to have the flavour to go along with the smell (i'm a big fan of citrus)! again, the ingredients are the same for all three balms and so were the results: a lightweight, non-waxy, silky smooth product that adds just the right amount of moisture and a hint of shine. this one's a winner!
I was one of the lucky ones who won the Softlips package. Thank-you Chickies.
I really like the look and the lipstick-style, rather than the normal tube with a flat end that most lip balms have. It is nice to hold. Nice that it is all natural. It goes on smooth and is soft on the lips (not like some of the hard ones). I liked the smell when I first applied it. I was looking forward to this fragrance as I am fond of citrus smells. Unfortunately, the fragrance does not last as long as the lip balm. Too bad because it was a great smell. It appears to moisturize and stays on for an extended time. Unfortunately, it does not really moisturize, it creates a barrier, but my lips remained dry. One small quibble: no spf. It is too bad that it does not moisturize as well as it could because this product has much in its favour.
I'm also reviewing this lip balm for the Product Review club and this fragrance in the set of three is my favorite aswell.
I have easily chapped lips and often breathe through my mouth when I sleep (sinuses, ugh) which makes them worse. The Softlips PURE line is effective at delivering lightweight moisture that feels conditioning, smooth without being waxy and lasts for about three to four hours (for my parchment lips, anyways) without needing re-application. Personally, for myself, I prefer a richer formula that goes on thicker and honestly a medicated brand would be best for me, but I recommend this product whole-heartedly to anyone who looks for a good purse lip balm that feels nice and isn't made with any worrisome chemicals.
Now to comment on the scent. The citrus scent is LOVELY, I gave the tube a big whiff when I opened it and it smelled summery and pretty. It reminded me of a tall glass of orange juice with a nice pancake breakfast sitting out on the porch in the sun. Mmm. Definitely a keeper for the wintertime when you honestly NEED a shot of sunshine.
