I remember having a pot of Body Shop’s lip balm in Strawberry years and years ago. It was moisturizing, glossy, and with a yummy flavour. You’d think I would have gotten more after finishing that one, but somehow I did not. It wasn’t until last month I once again thought of this little gem and wandered into my local Body Shop to pick one up – and found I’m now getting less for my money. Wasn’t it 15ml back then versus the current 10ml? And wasn’t it around $4 back then versus the current $4.50? Oh well. It’s still more or less the same moisturizing lip balm, only with more exotic flavour. The one I picked up “Passionberry” has a great, um, passion-fruity flavour. Its staying power is quite decent, too, for a glossy lip balm. I’m not sure about this incredibly shrinking packaging thing the Body Shop went through, but rest assured I will not buy this anymore if it gets down to less than 10ml…
