December 28-30, 2012, the boy and I went to Portland, Oregon for a short (and tax-free) trip. In the corresponding haul post, I mentioned that our hotel gave these as their complimentary toiletries:

NUXE Paris - Rêve de Miel ultra nourishing lip balm (Review)
Ever since Lisa Eldridge spoke about it, I had been stalking this but could never bring myself to pay this insane amount of money for a flipping tub of lip lube... I tried to justify it by saying I needed a lip balm that was more matte underneath my lipsticks.
Anyway, I eventually got it. How can you go against Lisa?
Verdict: It's good and does its job, but it's not nearly good as people hype. It seems like a glorified lip balm. Right now, I'm treating it as more of an overnight lip mask. I'm excited for day use when the weather cools.
Update/Follow Up: January 20, 2013
It's been six months since I first started using this product in July 2012.
Now that it's in the dead of Winter, my lips have been hating on crazy icy winds outdoors and drying heat indoors. I am so thankful for this lip product now, because it has honestly saved my lips this Fall/Autumn and Winter. All of my other lip balms are failing at keeping my lips moisturized for any longer than 20 mins.

It was $17.99 CAD at Shopper's Drug Mart (big breathe...)
It claims to be 80.2% natural origin ingredients, and paraben-free. See the ingredients here:
Smell:
Smells like a mild orange marmalade -- which kinda makes sense since it supposedly contains honey, plant oils, shea butter, and grapefruit essence (whatever that means... like, grapefruit juice?)

Texture:
It's thick. Smears a bit like super light jam, hahaha. Could be a bit too thick for the Summer, but it would be perfect for the Winter or super blustery days!

Wear:
Super long wearing! I like applying this generously before bed and waking up to gorgeous lips. It's the first lip product that I can still feel on top of my lips after waking up.
I also find it great to wear underneath lipstick because it's matte and prevents my lips from drying out. A little goes a long way. If I'm planning to wear this as a lipstick base, a tiny smear onto my finger will suffice for both lips.
