Sweet Cravings: Yves Rocher Vanilla Nourishing Lip Balm

I've always been a fan of vanilla scents. It's just so sweet and delectable! That's why when I saw this cute little lip balm in Yves Rocher Southmall, I said to myself "I'll come back for this baby."

And guess what, I did!

Price: Php200.00 (around 4USD)

Claims to: nourish lips and make them shine with a natural, transparent sheen. 

Weighs: 0.17 oz. Jar / 5 g


I've been using it for more or less two weeks, and I really lovelovelove the scent! If not for its scent, I wouldn't have bought it anyway. Quite costly for 5g but the scent well compensates it, for me at least. It makes my lips good to eat!! It's just so douce! (Pardon me for repeatedly mentioning the scent, it's that good.)


A downside is, as with most products that come in a tub, it doesn't come with any applicator so you have to dip your finger in the tub and subsequently apply the product. It also shines and sheers the same as with other products in the market.


Will I repurchase? No, unless I get that insatiable craving of vanilla. ^_^


By the way, I really wasn't familiar with the brand so I did some research. Yves Rocher tags itself as "the world leader in botanical care" and has five principles (directly lifted off their website):

1. Basing our behavior on the plant world. All products are derived from plants for beauty that awakens the senses and is more alive.
2. The plant world is our only source of inspiration. Exploring the richness of the plant world for beauty that is innovative and never ceases to renew itself.
3. Understanding the plant world. Guaranteeing safety and quality without compromise for a surer, more effective beauty.
4. Protecting the plant world. Actively defending the environment for beauty that is more responsible.
5. The plant world for all women. Making beauty accessible to all women for beauty that is more generous.

Now who doesn't want that right? Being beautiful while loving our home planet. What do you think? Do tell me lovelies. :)
