BY TERRY BAUME DE ROSE: WORTH THE HYPE?
As I’ve mentioned many times before, I usually like to sit back throughout a beauty hype and see how it unfolds before I join in myself. I love doing my research and reading all the different opinions, especially when something is a bit pricey.
By Terry Baume de Rose has been a favourite of Anna’s for years, but despite her raving I never really considered purchasing it. For one it’s rose scented (yuk!), two it’s in a pot and three it’s £35! When this is the case and the cons outweigh the pros, I don’t even bother trying it in case I fall in love, BUT… (did you sense that coming?) then I did.
I was in store last week and I thought, why not just give it a try whilst I had time to kill. The texture is quite gel like and very different to the usual cream formulas I go for. It feels like it’s going to just sit on the lips but it actually works really well. It does taste and smell of rose but after a week of using it, I’ve actually got used to it and don’t mind it as much anymore. I like to really work it into the lips and find it lasts really well unlike some cheaper lip balms that you need to constantly reapply.
I used a Space NK discount to purchase this and if I’m honest probably wouldn’t have otherwise, but I do think if you are in need of a really effective lip balm then this is the one for you. Make sure you grab yourself an N.Dulge card first, there are some hefty points to be gained!
Is the By Terry Baume de Rose, worth the hype? It is indeed.
