I've struggled with sore, chapped lips for years and the amount of lip balm products that I've gone through is insane! Most of the lip balms that I've tried did moisturise my lips, but after leaving the product on my lips for any longer than an hour my lips were left feeling dry again. Although, a few months ago I came across 'Elizabeth Arden 8 hour lip repair' which has worked wonders. The only downside to the Elizabeth Arden lip repair balm is that it's priced at £20. Crazy expensive considering you do not get a lot of the product.
Then I came across Papaya Gold. Papaya Gold Paw Paw moisterizing balm is only £5.99!
Papaya Gold is 'enriched with Bio Active Manuka Honey 20+, is a tropical balm that soothes,relieves and moisturizes dry, sensitive, chaffed and irritated skin and dry chapped lips. It can be used by people that are prone to eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. Also suitable for children. The enhanced formulation combines the benefits of Australias tropical Paw Paw fruit, further enriched with new Zealand's bio active manuka honey. manuka honey with a grade of 20 and above is considered therapeutic and has been hailed a 'miracle' honey by researchers at Cardiff University.
Paw Paw (Papaya) contains the enzyme papain which helps to lower inflammation and to improve healing from burns to cuts; it can even reduce inflammation in certain diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.'-http://www.papayagold.com/benefits/
I suffer from psoriasis in my eyebrows and also with joint pains, my father suffers from Rheumatoid arthritis and I have been tested for this disease also. To come across a moisturizing balm that can help with the inflammation of joint pains for those that suffer from diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis is amazing. I haven't put this balm to the test yet on any part of my body apart from my lips. But I will be sure to use this on any burns or cuts I get in the future. As for the inflammation side, I'm determined to make my dad try it when he has a 'flare' to see if it does help lower inflammation. (I will post an update blog post later on covering all of these areas once it has been used for burns,cuts, and inflammation.) I have used this product plenty of times for my sore lips and it has been amazing so far, I honestly do not have a bad word to say about it.
About NEEK Skin organics
"open several years ago, when our founder was learning to talk. “Angelique” is a bit of a mouthful for a toddler, so she came up with “Neek”.She didn’t know it at the time, but Neek wasn’t just coining her nickname – she was also creating the name of an Australian natural skincare company.
NEEK Skin Organics founder Angelique only had to think about parabens for her face to blow up, so she quickly learned which ingredients to avoid, and experimented with creating her own cleansers, moisturizers, and more.It soon became apparent that what your skin needs is simple, and can be found in nature. While the folk in white lab coats still play an essential role at NEEK, they’re not busy inventing more things for you to be allergic to. Instead, we create makeup and skincare products from natural, active ingredients. These scientifically-proven ingredients are so natural, you could spread them on your toast in the morning (though we don’t claim they’d be delicious). But even better, the ingredients we use are essential for skin health, and help slow your skin’s ageing process."http://neekskinorganics.com/uk/story
NEEK is against animal testing, 'we test on sisters, not on animals.'
Both the 'Miss Devine' active face cleanser and the lipstick packaging are recyclable. The packaging on both the Whole Lotta Rosie lipstick and the active face cleanser is wondrous. The Whole Lotta Rosie lipstick packaging is made from (what I thought it was )cardboard! Even the actual lipstick packaging is made from it too!
On the flap when opening up both boxes to the face cleanser and lipstick there is a quote at the top. I think this is a really lovely idea and I am guessing that each product has a different quote on. Im actually really curious to see what the other quotes are! I love a good quote, especially when they get you thinking.
The 'Miss Devine' active face cleanser smells good enough to eat...( DONT EAT IT.) It makes your face smell like citrus, not overpowering but just a hint and its such a lovely smell! I have been applying this face cleanser after I remove my make up before I go to bed and sometimes when I wake up in the morning. The face cleanser is designed to fight acne, restore skin cells, and cleanse, plump, detoxify the skin and reverse effects of ageing! I love how refreshing my face feels after using this and I try to avoid wearing any makeup once I use this in the morning. I only apply this when I know I won't be having a makeup day, just so my face can get some fresh air after applying the face cleanser. I haven't had any problems with this face cleanser, but I like to test out products for a few weeks to see if anything changes. I will write up an updated blog post in a few weeks and tell you if my opinions have changed!)
The Whole Lotta Rosie lipstick is a beautiful pink shade, this lipstick matches my lip colour perfectly. I wear this lipstick for a casual day, if I do wear this lipstick on a night out then I like to do my eye makeup very bold. Personally, I like to either make a bold statement with my lips or my eyes but NOT at both at the same time. The ingredients that are in the lipstick are,
'Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil*, Mica CI 77019 (Pigment), Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba Wax)*, Candelilla Cera (Candelilla Wax), Butyrospermum Parkii Butter (Shea Butter) Fruit*, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Sweet Orange) Peel Oil*, Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E), Titanium Dioxide CI 77891( pigment), Iron Oxides CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 (Pigments), Pigment Violet (CI 77742), Tin Oxide CI 778161 (pigment).'
The lipstick is super nourishing and moisturizing for my lips. As the lipstick is matte I pop a bit of the Papaya Gold Paw Paw balm on top to give it a glossy look! NEEK also do other shades of lipstick 'Come Into My World' is a pink toned lipstick.

'Sweet about me' is a subtle, neutral hue with a tinge of pink.

'Sunsets' is perfect for the summer, it is a 'coral-hued shade.'
http://neekskinorganics.com/uk/vegan-natural-lipstick/sunsets.html
'Friday' on my mind is a 'darkish' natural shade.

'Shine on' can be applied on top of your lipstick for extra shine or on its own to keep your lips hydrated.

All of the lipsticks have jojoba oil and shea butter in them!
