To Miel or Not to Miel....Nuxe Reve De Miel Review

I am a balm/gloss kinda girl. I like something simple that I don't have to worry about on my teeth or smudged up the side the face mid day. Don't get me wrong, I love the look of a bright lipstick. It looks so courageous and stylish. A bright bold statement lip with a minimalist outfit, hot damn it makes me want to shop! I stare at the salespeople at Sephora with their Nars Audacious or Kat Von D Liquid Lipsticks, longingly wishing I could pull it off without looking.... or more like feeling, like an old street whore.... or an 8 year getting caught playing with my mom's Mary Kay Lipstick.

Soo I have used alot of lip balms. Usually the drug store variety resulting in chapped lips and the constant need for reapplication. My husband can attest to my constant request to borrow his "lipchap" which he would not be caught without (#addicted to lipbalm). I do not share lip balms regularly as I have been blessed with a cold sore free face and would love to stay that way!

I have never found the perfect balm until I read a million blogs talking about this Nuxe Reve De Miel. Essie Button indicated it was "the bomb.com" or something akin to that so I knew I had to run out an get some. And by run, I mean sit on my sofa for hours with my credit card in hand frantically and obsessively searching online for where I can get this shiz right the "F" now in Canada!

Hudson Bay?... Thebay.ca has a great cosmetics selection and shipping is uber fast, many things arriving within 4 days of ordering to my rural post office box. Reve De Miel costs $17.00 plus tax and $5.95 standard shipping. Thebay.ca ships free over $99 and often has reduced shipping costs or deals for using your Bay Mastercard. I have one for just this purpose.

Nuxe Reve De Miel Lip Balm

When this little package arrived I was impressed. This was the 20th Anniversary Edition, not the packaging I ordered online. The box is a pretty pearly cream and pink duo, the weight of the box signaled something subtantial and expensive inside. I know most people don't care about that, but when I am paying $25.00 for a lip balm...I do. Reve de Miel is packaged in an exquisite little glass jar with a pink lid. Glass makes everything feel a little more luxe as far as I am concerned. We have moved to a plastic world so I feel like glass has an old feel to it, reminiscent of more luxurious times. I keep it on my nightstand and look forward to using it daily.

The texture is thick and matte, not glossy at all so it does not move around or off my lips easily. The smell and feel is something so familiar, like a different balm from another time? I might be thinking of Lush Lip Service?? Which I do not have anymore but did purchase years ago. I wondering if anyone out there felt the same..... It is citrusy sweet like an orange/grapefruit and feels dull and moisturizing on the lips. After 8 hours sleep, I wake up with this still on my lips.

I love this balm and I am happy that I do as it is pricey, but wearing it everyday, I can completely justify the cost. This little balm will last a long time at .58oz. SO...the answer is yes...Miel it up!
