Review | 100% Natural Lip Roll-On | The Body Shop

Want softer, less cracked lips? Don't bother with The Body Shop's "100% Natural Lip Roll-On" in Orange.

The main selling points of this lip roll-on are that it moisturises, smells/tastes of orange, and is made from all natural ingredients. On the site, they also say that it has a "non-tacky, non-waxy feel". Personally, it seems to be mostly advertising.

The roll-on does genuinely smell and taste (not that I ate it or anything...) of orange. The packaging is pretty cool and very mobile - it fits in your pocket perfectly if you don't want to take your handbag with you everywhere. I'm not an expert on all things natural, but I guess it is also concocted from 100% natural ingredients. (Really, if you're that worried, read the list of them on the back!)

Not once did I feel that it moisturised my lips; in fact, it settled on them in a very tacky, very waxy way! The roll-on feature is nice, but the substance itself just lays on the surface of your lips like a very slimy lipgloss. Perhaps I spent more time licking it off than waiting for it to settle, but it definitely didn't help soften or soothe my cracked lips. The price is a big whopper at £4 for such a teeny-tiny tube, and it blatantly isn't worth it.

Overall, I found this product, to be blunt, utterly useless. I just don't understand what all the fuss is about. It may look cute, but the value (in my opinion) really does not add up to the cost.
