I am not ashamed to admit that I'm a complete lipbalm junkie. In fact, the mere realisation that I have left the house without a lipbalm in my bag (on the rare occasion that it happens) almost immediately results in a feeling of panic akin to the way you feel when you think you might have left the hair straightener plugged in on top of your duvet.
While I have tried many lipbalms and have some fancy favourites, such as Nuxe Rêve de Miel, I also like to have a staple lipbalm, which I can carry around easily and which is easily available when I need to replace it. My requirements for a basic lipbalm are as follows: I like a twist up tube for convenience, I like the balm to go on clear and not leave a whitish tint (if it leaves a nice glossy finish, then so much the better), I want it to feel smooth, moisturising and comfortable and I want it to last a while.
RoC Enydrial ticks all these boxes. It goes on smoothly and doesn't tend to dry into those annoying little 'bits', as some balms do. It leaves a nice glossy finish, so even if I'm not wearing lipstick or gloss, my lips look smooth and slightly plumped. And if my lips are feeling in any way chapped or uncomfortable, it soothes them right away.
