Paraben, cruelty and gluten free vegan lip balm!

Lip balm - we've all got one or used one. But you may not have tried this one. 


Birchbox brand Arrow have created a paraben free, cruelty free, gluten free, vegan lip balm which also adjusts to the pH of your lips to create a subtle shade that's unique to you. Mines a rosey pink tone. The balm has a slight mint scent but it's not menthol or tingly. 
The packaging is cute and to me looks a bit ECO warrior. Which I like.


I first heard about animal testing when I was a kid. My mother is a vegetarian and she always used body shop products. She even got them for me. I remember reading not tested on animals and of course I asked my mum about it. 
I'm not claiming to be an animal rights activist. But I hate the thought of animals being tested on for something as superficial as makeup. 

This lip balm came in my March birchbox. I don't believe I would have discovered it or the brand otherwise.
The lip balm feels moisturising probably due to the mango seed butter. It has a nice glossy finish but it's not sticky. 
The whole Arrow range is cruelty and paraben free, gluten free and vegan. 
If you are interested in vegan cruelty free products take a look at the brand they may have more to offer you. 
Prices at £11 it's an expensive lip balm. If your quick you could order a March Birchbox and try it in there as you get a full size product. 

From over 100 reviews it's got 4.5 stars on the Birchbox uk website. Which is pretty good in my opinion.
