My HG lipbalm is Burts Bees stick lipbalm but I RIS. This lipbalm is gorgeous, smells sweet and nourishes my dry cracked lips in just one use. However, the balm is extremely hard and I have to use my nails to scrape the balm out. Sometimes, I end up with too much lipbalm which is too rich for my lips.
I searched on REN's website and they dont have the pot form of this lipbalm, just the tube form, but when I looked at the price, its jsut ridiculous for a small lipbalm.
Even though this balm makes my lips look smooth and full and not too glossy, I dont think I can shell out that much money for this.

This is a great lip balm, no doubt about that. Hydrates, nourishes, really makes your pucker feel comfy and pampered. Plus it smells nice. The only gripe is the high price tag! Just a little ridiculous for lip balm but maybe that's just me.

4.5 stars. This is a great lip balm, very similar to Dr. Hauschka's lip balm (in the pot, not the stick). But, I still think Dr. Hauschka's lip is just a touch better. This is a little difficult to squeeze out of the tube. Dr. Hauschka's lip balm gave me new lips.

I love this lip balm...it moisturises and smells yummy. Really good plumping effect for an organic brand!

I wanted to like this one! It does smell good. I agree with the other reviews that the packaging is annoying b/c it does get under the grooves where the cap screws on although I can't imagine this in stick form. I also use it at night b/c of the grainy texture which goes away after a few mins. My lips feel good after using it. However its very expensive. I don't find it any better than a drugstore brand other than the smell. It has no SPF. My biggest complaint is that I get a pimple almost every time I use it! I hate to throw it away because its expensive but a lip pimple! I assume its just too rich for my skin. I had this problem with The Body Shop's body butter. It gave me a pimple on my hand! I don't think I'll buy it again. If I'm going for a luxurious lip balm I'll go with Jo Malone or CO Bigelow.

One of my favorite lip lubbies. Lovely smell and texture, though no sunscreen so it's one I wear while at home and before bed.

I highly recommend this balm, I've tried a few balms that actually leave my lips in a worse of state but this REN lip balm is perfect. It smells delicious, like a faint buttery honey scent. It leaves my lips silky smooth and not gooy and shiny. I think it's worth £6.50.
Even though an application before bedtime will leave your lips hydrated in the morning or an application durring the day will last a good couple of hours I can't help but reapply this product this product again and again, it smells GEORGEOUS, it's too hard to resist.
I will be buying another to keep in my bag and one for the office, Worth every penny.

Great lipbalm! One of my favourites- it has a lovely light honey scent and yummy flavour. Leaves lips oh so soft and smooth, very nourishing with a slight shine. I do not mind it being in a jar, but a tube would be more hygenic. For £6.50, it costs more then the average lipbalm, but the high quality justifies the price. It lasts longer then I thought it would (looking at the tiny pot) as you only need a small amount. Would definitely repurchase.

This has a very light honey taste thats very fresh which i particulary liked. The little jar is a bit unhygenic but it's still a very nice lipbalm which left my lips soft and plump. Recommended if you are a fan of Ren or would like to try a new lipbalm.

The product is very good - it feels smooth and silkly once absorbed into my lips, and lasts for about half a day. Only gripe is the packaging - the tiny jar is so inconvenient....I get it under my nails every time I dig my fingers in to get some product out (it's not a gel texture like The Body Shop's lipbalms, so you really have to DIG to get it out). The actual formula feels like it could or should be in stick form as it is quite thick - what were Ren's producers thinking? Did they actually test the product in the final packaging, or did they just test the product in their industrial production buckets? Disappointing, as it really is a good lipbalm; will only repurchase if they reproduce in stick form.

This isn't a perfect all-around lip balm but the best I've found for bedtime. If you want a lip balm for dry lips with repeat performance, this is it. I usually only wear it at night because it is a tiny bit grainy and thick and will stay on for a little while. The smell is lovely (honey floral scent) and the small plastic tub is handy. This is VERY good for the winter because it contains no water so that it won't freeze or create more dry lips. It also has no SPF so I wouldn't wear it in the summer. Overall, good value.

I am in love with this! It is creamy and buttery with a faint fruity smell that's hardly noticeable. I am a lip balm addict and always have one in every cosmetic bags and on my nightstand. I use up my balms fairly quickly as i tend to reapply every few hours, even though i don't really need to. When i put this on, i find that i don't reapply it as often as i do my other balms (currently alternating between dr hauschka, weleda and jurlique), cos i noticed my lips are still well moisturised even hours after application. The packaging is in a glass jar like the dr hauschka lip balm, which i don't have a problem with. Overall, i am very happy to have found this to add to my collection.
p.s : The balm does not sink in immediately so for those whose SO are concerned with kissing gooey lips, go easy when applying!

Love this lip balm. I have been suffering from very dry lips with cracks in the corners for weeks, bleeding, peeling you name it!! I have some skin problems and my lips were the worst they have ever been.
Anyway, in desperation I decided to try this. It is fab. It is quite thick so you have to work it in the tub a bit before applying which isn't the most practical or quick method of application. You are aware of it on your lips and it makes a fab lippy or gloss base. It isn't sticky or greasy and stays on for a good few hours. I'm very impressed and for the price in the UK £6.50 I think for the results its an absolute bargain. I will re-purchase.

Amazing product! The grainy texture exfoliate your lips while appliying it and then it moisturises by melting very quickly with the skin temperature, lovely sweet honey-fruity fragrance (It reminds me to pineapple soft candy) and free of nasty mineral oils and stuff.

I thought that this was ok, it's quite a thick waxy consistency, and a bit grainy. Very moisturising, but I thought that it tasted kinda plasticky so I wouldn't repurchase.
