This or that: Overnight Lip Treatments

Along with this new routine of washing my face and applying overnight oils, my lips were longing to try a few new products in the search for the best Overnight Lip Treatments. I have been applying the Nuxe Reve De Miel Lip Treatment (see previous blog) regularly, and continue to love it, but if you love beauty products as much as I do, you know that one good thing is never enough. I picked up the Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask and the C.O Bigelow Night Balm to see if either would measure up to my beloved Nuxe Reve de Miel.
Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask, C.O. Bigelow My Favourite Night Balm & Nuxe Reve De Miel

1) NUXE REVE DE MIEL LIP BALM: MATTE, SMOOTH, THICK, COMFORTABLE, HONEY CITRUS SMELL. In Canada, pick up this from Murale.ca for $17.00 plus tax and shipping or from thebay.com. I love both these sites so I really have no preference. This balm is actually "the bomb.com" or I guess you could say "the balm.com"..hehe.

2) BITE BEAUTY AGAVE LIP MASK: THICK, STICKY, SWEET TASTE, MARSHMELLOW SMELL. I picked this up in store at Sephora for $30.00 plus tax and used it every night for 2 weeks. The balm stays on your lips throughout the night due to the thick sticky consistency. The first time I squeezed this tube, I had to use both thumbs at full-strength to get a tiny bit of product out, it's that thick. In the morning my lips felt nice, no chapping, but I was not blown away by the results. Some bloggers swear by this stuff ("HOLY GRAIL") which is why I purchased it. I certainly did not get the same results. For that price point, I was expecting my lips to feel amazeballs. I felt this balm was way to thick and sticky to use at all during the daytime which makes it less versatile. I will continue to use it in rotation until the tube is done, as I said, I like it, but I can not give this a solid thumbs up, rather...It's okay. I won't repurchase as the"juice ain't worth the squeeze". If I could jump in the Delorian, I would have purchased the 5 day rescue small jar from Sephora for $18.00 that also contains the cherry lip scrub, before purchasing the full size.

3) C.O. BIGELOW MY FAVOURITE NIGHT BALM: THICK, SMOOTH, MARSHMELLOW SMELL, $7.50 from Bath and Body Works. This was an impulse purchase to bring my dollar amount up to qualify for a deal in store. I used this for over a month before I purchased the Nuxe Reve De Miel and enjoyed it for the price. But I had not tried the Nuxe so I had no comparison. I would say that it did help to relieve my dry lips in the winter. It actually reminds me of the Bite Beauty Mask when you compare feel and smell but it is a bit less sticky which is more appealing to me. This is a solid, inexpensive option for night time moisturizing.

In the end, I will repurchase the NUXE REVE DE MIEL for an all day and night lip treatment.
