I picked the Aesop Rosehip Seed Lip Cream up just before winter really hit us, be mindful that I do live in Queensland and winter isn't too brutal on us to begin with but all the cold winds, air-con, heaters and the like completely suck the moisture from my skin and lips. I will say I am addicted to my Maybelline Baby Lips and will continue to use them but I felt I needed a real impact product that would more treat and repair then protect. Enter the Aesop Rosehip Seed Lip Cream, this little tube of goodness is a cold weather staple for me now and will be coming with me to Tassie in September for sure (It's gonna be cold, arctic winds and all!). To find out my thoughts on the Aesop Rosehip Seed Lip Cream keep reading.
To begin here is what AESOP has to say about it.
This Vitamin E-rich, lightweight cream – formulated for the delicate and sensitive skin of the lips – replenishes moisture and softens lips. It contains no silicone or paraffin, and is formulated for frequent use.
Having Rosehip Seed, Tocopherol and Ylang Ylang as the main ingredients mentioned on the tube you can expect great things from this lip product. Don't let its small size fool you this 6ml tube packs a whollup.
The best way to apply the Rosehip Seed Lip Cream is with your forefinger and just dab it onto the lips and smooth. I found the cream to absorb super quickly and it didn't leave a residue or any sticky feeling on the lips. I am using the lip cream before bed mainly as skin and lips repair overnight so they benefit greatly from the boost of moisture. You only need about a rice grain amount to completely cover the lips which makes this 6ml tube last ages. With constant application it is easy to achieve soft, hydrated lips that don't suffer from the elements.
The Aesop Rosehip Seed Lip Cream has a floral aroma that is not displeasant or strong and has no flavour so I'm unlikely to lick it all off before it does its intended job. Texture wise it's a very lightweight cream and does not feel heavy on the lips. My lips feel conditioned, softened and hydrated. The tube is really sleek and adheres to the image Aesop has put forward with all its products. Straightforward and to the point, with benefits and ingredients front and center. As it is a squeezy tube you do need to be careful how hard you press or you may end up with too much product. At $15 AUD it really is a good price for a large skincare brand like Aesop and as the product lasts a while it doesn't feel wasteful. Bonus you will feel great supporting an Australian born brand. Woo!
The only thing I do not like about the Rosehip Seed Lip Cream is the applicator, it's small and needs to be applied to the finger tips and not straight to the lips. It also get product all over itself. Fun times. This leaves a mess in the lid but I can live with that.
Overall I am enjoying this little powerhouse and will continue to use it throughout the year, it is so worth the $15 to add this to your beauty bag or handbag for all year round lip comfort.
You can get the Aesop Rosehip Seed Lip Cream online or in any Aesop boutique.
