Dr. Paw Paw lipbalms

I have been influenced.. do you know Lynda Pearce the make-up artist from shows like Bridgerton? I love her content, I follow her online, and when she said she liked dr Pawpaw. I naturally wanted Dr. Paw Paw, and then I saw the minis in the shop thus I got all the colours because that is how being influenced works. Without making fun of it. I love lip products, I am a ‘lip girl’ so I was really glad I could try these out.

What does dr. Paw Paw say about their product?
Dr.PAWPAW was created back in 2013 when Johnny and Pauline’s daughter was diagnosed with eczema it was then that the need for a natural alternative to the normal steroid prescription creams turned a want into a must. The husband and wife duo decided to create a multipurpose balm that could be used on lips, skin and hair. Both Johnny and Pauline envisioned a range of products that would help families everyday, an affordable product that all the family could use – from Grandmas to new born babies. Dr.PAWPAW has a range of staple products found not only in Johnny and Pauline’s bathroom, but in millions of bathrooms globally.

Swatches

What do I think?

The product is quite thick so not a lot comes out at once which I do enjoy. The coloured ones are quite tinted so a little goes a long way. I love these balms, they are nice to put on due to their size I can easily take them with me and they are nice and hydrating. I am admittedly, a fan. I do think because I only use it on my lips the little ones are the very best. I think a big tube would take far too long to finish up and with the applicator, although I love it I do wonder about how sanitary that is over time. Overall a great product and a recommendation.
