I have been using Lip Balm for years, first as a part of my Nightly Skin Routine and then as I stopped wearing Lipsitck, during the day as well - I used to buy commerical brands and discovered that the more I put on the more I needed so I turned to HandMade Lip Balms and never looked back :)
I am now offering my own brand which I call Aromatherapy for Lips and which I have specially made for Cette Petite Maison, at the moment it comes in 2 fragrances - Rose and Lavender and I will soon be offering an unscented version for men.
I'm not going to say any more but let my testers tell you what they think.....
I have recently been lucky enough to try a new lip balm produced by Cette Petite Maison and I can honestly say it's by far the nicest lip balm I've ever used. It's super hydrating and feels lovely to wear. I have the rose version and the scent is gorgeous without being at all over-powering.
Also, I don't find, like with some lip balms, that the more you use it, the more you need it. I am sure this is thanks to all the natural goodies that are in it, unlike the commercial brands. I shall definitely be ordering more and also trying the lavender version. I really highly recommend it together with visiting the Cette Petite Maison blog and shop to discover lots of other delightful products :) AB

I always have such dry lips in the winter and find the Rose Lip balm wonderfully moisturising and soothing. It’s non greasy formula is a pleasure to wear and the gorgeous natural fragrance of rose make it almost good enough to eat . Lovely product which is now a staple of my daily facial care regime. Highly recommended. LC
So if you are looking for a bit of Aromatherapy for your lips pop on over to the boutique or if you are feeling crafty you can make your own, here is a quick super easy recipe for DIY Lip Balms :)
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Yellow Beeswax Pellets
- 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
- For Rose: 3 drops of 100% pure Rose Essential Oil
- For Lavender 3 drops of 100% pure Lavender Oil
- 5 or 6 Lip Balm Tubes
- A syringe or plastic cosmetic pippettes
Instructions
- Wash your hands and all of your equipment thoroughly.
- Place the beeswax pellets in a small glass bowl and microwave on high power for 45 seconds.
- Add the coconut oil to the bowl, and return to the microwave for another 45 seconds.
- Continue to microwave in 30 second increments until everything is completely melted.
- Add the essential oils and return to the microwave for another 15 seconds.
- Using a syringe, fill each lip balm container as full as you can without overflowing.
- If it starts to harden before you're finished filling the tubes, return the glass bowl to the microwave for 15 seconds to keep it melted.
- Once they solidify I would pop your balms into the fridge to harden off a bit more and voila you have your own Lip Balms.
