Rouge Bunny Rouge Kiss Elixir & Devilish Nectar

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to win one of ten prizes from Rouge Bunny Rouge in return for your honest feedback direct to them by email. Which was very nice indeed.

Not only did they send the product they wanted my thoughts on (Kiss Elixir Lip Balm) but also enclosed a Devilish Nectar Lip Potion as a reward/prize with no review required. But I'm a blogger and far be it from me to pass up the opportunity to write a review for my blog!

So first up, lets look at the lip balm.

I've included a picture of the box because, well, the packaging is so whimsical and beautiful it seemed wrong not to include a picture of it. I did bin it but I nearly kept it! The Kiss Elixir balm itself is tiny. I have to say this from the off. It's £18 too. Yes a little goes a long way and when you read on I do rave about this, but its with the caveat that the price is extraordinary as well as the product.

So Kiss Elixir is filled with macadamia, jojoba and avocado oils, a dollop of vitamin E and if the smell is anything to go by, lots and lots of honey. Gorgeous gorgeous honey. Apparently there's also some mint in ther but I can't taste it. Now the big thing about this product is that it really helps and soothes my lips. More than any other I've ever used. I've tried so many lip balms, either they make my lips dryer or they do nothing. Carmex is my go to brand as it does help, but now I realise that there are better products and I'll tell you why. At the first sign of dryness I put a small amount of this on (it is slightly sticky but I don't notice it being a problem and rather than disappearing off my lips it seems to sink in). I have no idea if scientifcally thats possible but thats just how it feels to me. The results are soft supple lips and the miracle bit? I don't reapply, I don't need to. The effects last on me for two to three days. So perhaps that warrants the price tag, you can afford to buy it because you're not having to slather it on every hour or two. One more point of interest is that this stuff contains no water, most lip balms do which possibly why most lipbalms make my lips worse. A very beautiful product. 

The product I was sent as a prize for being selected was the Devilish Nectar Lip Potion. Please please enlarge the second picture and the third.

Firstly, the packaging, it comes all packaged up like a little treasure, gorgeous. Again, this is TINY. It's absolutely tiny and its £24! It's much much smaller than your average lipgloss and I don't unfortunately have the actual weight. Anyway, it's no ordinary lipgloss, it's a plumping lipgloss with a small amount of shimmer and glitter but to all intents and purposes it's transparent on the lips.

Cardomom, cloves and chilli work to plump your lips and jojoba softens. It tastes and smells lovely as a result of the spicy essential oils but as a plumper this didn't do much for me, well you can see from the picture. I think there was a slight tingling and plumping but not much and the instructions call upon you to apply more to keep increasing the effect, but for such a small bottle and at such a great price I'm too afraid to keep reapplying!

The other thing is the glitter, if you have looked at the lips photo in detail, you'll see what looks like random red specks of glitter on my lips which I'm not a fan of but it's so sparse and tiny, it makes no bones.  I can't in all honestly recommend this product as it didn't work well for me and I think its very over priced, that said I'm clinging onto  like it was a precious jewel and I kept the box of this one, it's so pretty and its a nice gloss. I'm saving it for special occasions. :)

Honestly, both of the products are gorgeous, but the lipbalm I would consider rebuying, the Nectar, I wouldn't, I will however clutch it to my breast for all eternity whispering things like "my preciousssssss", because it's that pretty :)
