Rodial - Glam Balm

Rodial Glam Balm LIP

Glam Balm is a rose flavoured hydrating lip balm that claims to hydrate, smooth and protect the lips. It has Shea Butter and Vitamin E to soothe and soften the sensitive skin on your lips. It includes Hyaluronic Filling Spheres and Rose Wax that plumps up the lips.

The packaging is lovely - a large glossy white and silver box holds a good sized round tub with a lid that is so silvery and shiny, it doubles up as a mirror (handy!). It is the biggest lip balm I've had (10g) so it will definitely last a long time. 

It is a pale, baby pink colour and a texture unlike normal lip balms (thick and liquid-like). The scent is a subtle rose flavour, which isn't my favourite, but it's not an over powering smell unlike usual rose scents. I wouldn't choose the rose fragrance as you can kind of taste it when a little bit gets in your mouth which does not taste great.

When applied, it feels silky on the lips, almost like a lip gloss. It does the work of a lipgloss too, it looks very glossy on, and doesn't feel like its a balm.

Although it does claim to have beneficial soothing and softening effects, I think a rich moisturising lip cream would work better for very dry, chapped lips, like mine.

At £19, its quite expensive for more of a gloss than cream, but you do get your money's worth with the quantity of product. It's definitely a lip balm that you can wear for night make up, over a lip colour. 

The best bit about this product is the clear mirror on the lid so you don't need to fuss about finding one if you want a quick application.

My rating: 7.5/10
