Product description:
This buttery balm melts onto the lips for instant hydration. It contains real cocoa butter and has a delicious chocolate flavour. Wear it, love it, but don’t eat it. Instant hydration Buttery texture Leaves lips feeling softer and smoother.
The packaging is just like the standard lip butters available at The Body Shop, A small dinky pot with the colour scheme to match the chocolate theme. The screw cap secures well and is great for on the go. Easy to open and apply but I see this as being un-hygienic since you are dipping your fingers in to apply the product, Suppose it would be better in tube form?
Texture wise this tastes and feels oh so buttery! Applies easily onto the lips, Hence the name of the product and it really does make my lips feel smooth, soft and very moisturised, perfect for the current weather in the UK now, since extreme cold wind can really ruin the condition of your lips. Using this can really banish those dry patches and flakiness.
The actual colour of the lip butter is a light biscuit brown which actually does show up on the lips as more of a nude colour. Win!
Now onto the scent/flavour! If I had to really describe the scent then I would have to say it really smells like the most decadent chocolate brownies you have ever smelt/eaten, I literally want to eat this, but of course you can't. Some chocolate scented products can smell artificial or even sickly sweet but this has just the right amount of scent.

This wears beautifully for a good 2-3 hours before needing to reapply which for a lip balm is actually quite good! I really wouldn't mind reapplying before that time though, any excuse to open the lid and smell the chocolatey goodness, haha!
The only little con I can think of is that there is no SPF, which could of been great if added but I honestly think the pros outdoes the one little negative.
I loved this travel friendly, cute, super moisturising and to die-for chocolate scented lip butter and I cannot wait to try more scents in the range! Sadly I only just checked and remembered that this was limited edition so it is not available to buy! I really do wish I picked up more products in this range, we can only hope that The Body Shop brings it back or another version of this sadly missed scent.
Have you tried this and what is your favourite lip butter from The Body Shop?
It sounds really great, even without SPF.
