This Is The Best Lip Balm We’ve Ever Tried. Period.

WHAT: Furtuna Skin Olive Lip Butter Balm

WHY: We have tried upwards of one hundred lip balms over the past few years. We counted. 

We don’t actually write about balms very much, and that’s because even though we are transfixed by them and legitimately try every, single new balm that bursts onto the makeup scene, we rarely find one that’s particularly special. 

They all feel sort of the same. They’re all basically a solid B. And a B is pretty good. It’s above average. They’re just not … excellent. And we only write about excellent things. 

Friends? We found an excellent lip balm. Finally. 

And listen. We’ve tried every cheap option. We loooove cheap options. We love when the cheapest thing is the best thing. But in this case, we are investing in our lips’ happiness, softness, moistness (sorry!), and plumpness. 

What is it, you ask? We should have known. It’s the Furtuna Skin Olive Lip Butter Balm. And it’s an A+.

 

Now, we discovered this product because we’ve developed a nice relationship with Furtuna throughout the years after first falling in love with their UNBELIEVABLE face oil. So now we are extremely lucky to be on their list. So while we were sent this balm initially, we are all converts and have already purchased more because we’re terrified of them selling out. 

Ok, so why is this lip balm excellent in a sea of just ok lip balms?

There is one key reason. 

Once the balm has worn away (which is just the reality of balms—we’re not going to pretend this balm lasts for 8 hours) it leaves our lips softer.  We don’t have to immediately reapply. It’s not like the Dasani of lip balms where they actually ADD SALT to make you thirstier so that you have to drink more Dasani. No. This is a lip treatment which means the emollient ingredients actually repair your lips’ barrier, which in turn, makes them more hydrated. Cracks and lines disappear, and because of this, our lips look bigger.

Oh, and it’s vegan and cruelty free. OH, and it’s buttery smooth and never, ever tacky on the lips. And, gloriously, it’s made without any parabens, synthetic fragrances, dyes, or GMOS. 

In fact, we’re going to list out the key ingredients because just reading them feels soothing:

  • Wild Foraged Olive Oil (harvested in their own farm in Italy)

  • Anchusa Azurea Flower (full of antioxidants)

  • Jojoba Seed Oil (deeply hydrating)

  • Castor Seed Oil (a humectant which helps retain moisture)

  • Shae Butter (a natural moisturizer)

  • Mallow Leaf Extract (plumps barrier and prevents elasticity loss)

  • Asparagus Stem Extract (delays aging)

  • Beet Leaf Extract (loaded with antioxidants)

We’re working hard to convince you that this lip balm is worth forking over $45 American dollars. We know. We’re just so unbelievably confident you’ll feel what we feel with this balm, which is the feeling of: I’ve found it. I’ve spent my life searching for the perfect lip balm. And this is it. Forever. 

They also came out with a lip scrub which we use in the shower and which uses the ultra fine grit of olive pit powder and makes our lips feel utterly polished and smooth. Is it a must have like the balm? Perhaps not. But is it the perfect duo to give to literally every woman in your life for the holidays that are fast approaching whether we like it or not? Oh yes. We’ve already gotten a duo for our moms, sisters, coworkers (that we like), and a couple of very close friends. No one buys a fancy lip duo like this for themselves. And yet, it’s the kind of gift everyone squeals about upon receipt. 

We asked the brand for a promo code to make it a little easier for you to try - and they obliged. Use CANDIDLY20 at checkout for 20% off. 

To steal a seminal line from another beauty brand, but in this moment it just feels right: You’re worth it. 

Price: $45
