Lanolips Fruity Jelly Balms Review

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’m in touch with a local home dog breeder (definitely not ready yet but just putting feelers out) and she posts pictures of her current puppies eating their food with the caption ‘yam yam’ which I could not love more – says delight so much better than ‘yum yum’ does. It’s a bit of an ear worm now because as soon as I tried the new Lanolips Fruity Jelly Balms on it was extra yam yam! I do not find the fragrances sickly at all – they’re the grown up version of Bonne Belle which tasted like Jolly Ranchers. These are more your Rowntrees Fruit Gums – but better.

If you are someone who likes just a hint of colour on the lips with some juicy rather than gloopy shine these are exactly that. It’s a softly transparent tint so I can wear all of the shades with no problem at all – in fact, if you ever wanted to try a deep, wine-stain cherry shade in its most wearable form, that’s the one for you.

The balms have the traditional lanolin at their heart but are matched with fruit and seed extracts – they’re very light on the lips in both texture and shade. Perfect for the colour shy.

In the swatch from bottom to top: Watermelon, Cherry and Strawberry. At £10.99 each these are such a good summer buy – moisturising, brightening and happy. I’ve found them on offer (at the time of writing) for £7.15 HERE.

  1. Hi Jane, thanks so much for your blog always so honest and informative.
    On another note, have you thought about adopting a dog from a rescue centre? I understand the lure of a puppy but quite often there are puppies available as pregnant female dogs are heartbreakingly dumped but if they are lucky enough to find a place in a shelter they have the puppies there. And I’m sure you already know that there are specific breed rescues too, if you do have a breed in mind that is. It would be wonderful for a needy dog to go to a great home such as yours and of course in adopting a dog you make room for another. Ok preaching over!
    Thanks again and very best x

      Sue, trust me – I want a rescue but my husband is spectacularly allergic to dogs bar two breeds and they come up for rescue so, so rarely. My family has a history of rescues so of course that’s where I’d prefer (my grandmother was never able to say no and at one time had five dogs!). I’ve checked the breed specific sites and what feels like the entire internet of dog rescue sites and it’s looking highly unlikely the right dog will come up. I thank you though for raising the issue because I’ve spoken out against puppy farms myself – I hate the very idea of them and cannot understand why they’re even legal.

      1. Ah Jane, I knew there would be a good reason, you’re the type of person who would rescue if they could. I have no idea of what kind of dog is suitable for you but apparently there are lots of ‘doodle’ type mixes (supposed to be hypoallergenic) bought during lockdown now finding themselves in rescues.
        Funny story though, I have a dear friend who is terribly allergic, we are talking head to toe eczema of the worst sort on contact with many things including dogs. When she used to stay with us we would put her up in a loft room where our dog can’t go (spiral staircase) and even then she had to take antihistamines. However she ended up adopting the dog of her son’s friend who was in a sticky situation and needed a home pronto, cut forward to a couple of years later and she now has no problem with allergies to dogs, her dog Bella is even allowed on the bed! It makes you wonder if day to day exposure works as a ‘cure’ of sorts. Anyway, I’ll keep my fingers crossed that the kind of dog you need might come up for adoption but otherwise it will be lovely for you have a dog again after your loss x

          Hi Sue, yes I absolutely would. We had a friend’s dog to stay for a couple of nights while they went away and he is a cavapoo and that was fine as long as Tim didn’t touch him. But it was summer and we were outside a lot of the time. I’ve got an absolute fear of getting a doodle type and then it not working out because indoors over winter is a whole other thing than two days mostly outside. Actually, I have looked for doodle types in rescue and there truly are not as many as you might think – they go very quickly as well (which is great) – or they’re the bigger ones which we can’t have either because it needs to be very portable (elderly parents in Scotland, elderly aunt in Yorkshire so we have to travel by train quite a bit). You’re right though, it will really be lovely to have another dog – I’m missing the energy they bring to the house.
