Nuxe Reve De Mieille: First Impressions

    I'm still in the midst of crazy business with a holiday in a couple of days and a new job (yay!) starting tomorrow. I haven't had a lot of time to play with my make up but one thing I did pick up was Nuxe's infamous Reve De Mieille lip balm.  I've heard it's a holy grail but I'd never seen it available here until last week. I found it for €11 (McCabe's Pharmacy in Dundrum if you've been looking) which is pricey for what it is but I was waiting for someone and found it unexpectedly so figured I might as well give it a go!
 
    The texture surprised me most. The balm is a honey yellow colour, which isn't a great surprise but it has a thick paste consistency rather than the more solid or gel like texture of other balms I've used. The smell is citrusy and downright edible which is nice, but I do find it a bit invasive when its actually on my lips.

    All else aside the balm does a great job of moisturising the lips and is especially good before bed seeing as it's so rich. I tried it today before applying a red lip and found the lipstick actually lasted longer over the not completely absorbed, still slightly sticky base of the lip balm!

   So far I'm not sure if this will ever be a complete holy grail for me (not like Blistex <3) but it does do a great job, especially if you have particularly dry or chapped lips. Well worth a shot if you're a serious lip balm person!

Have you ever tried anything from the Nuxe range?
