A couple of weeks ago the lovely people at Dr PawPaw sent me a little sample of the Dr Paw Paw Original Formula* soothing balm, which couldn't have been better timing. With my lips being more and more exposed to sun this summer they were starting to feel really dry and my Vaseline just hasn't been doing it for me.
The sample size I was sent was a 10ml tube however the Dr PawPaw Original Balm also comes in a 25ml tube and a much larger economy sized 200ml tube - which looks totally amazing. The packaging itself is bright yellow which is something I didn't think I would like, however now I have seen it I actually kinda like it.
The great thing about Dr PawPaw soothing balm is that it's not only a lip balm, it is an incredibly multipurpose, soothing balm. This natural remedy balm can be used for so many different things such as a hand and nails cream, moisturizer, makeup primer, makeup finisher and a hair soother. I have never tried anything so versatile before and it definitely did not disappoint.
The texture of the formula has quite a silicon feel to it which is actually quite similar to the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer, making it incredibly smooth to apply. I've been using it on my lips mainly and its really helping to stop them dry out, without having to reapply too often. As it's only a small sample I haven't had much of a chance to test all of its uses but I did use it as my makeup primer the other day and absolutely loved it. I'm yet to try it as a moisturizer, however I don't know how I feel about it being unscented as I love nothing more than a sweet smelling one!
I am definitely going to treat myself to the economy sized tube in the pink or red colour as I love that I can just throw it in my bag and use it for pretty much anything and without a steep price tag!
Have you tried any of the Dr PawPaw balms? What did you think?
