When they first burst onto the scene, Glossier dotcom balms exploded across my social media feed with people raving about them. I have tried a few Glossier products, the Milky Jelly Cleanser which I really liked and the Glossier Solution Exfoliating Skin Perfector but today it is the turn of the Glossier Cherry Balm dotcom.
The dotcom balm (£10 here*)comes packaged in a metal tube and there is a choice of 8 different flavours to choose from - Cherry, Original, Rose, Birthday, Mint, Coconut, Mango and Berry. Each tube of balm is coloured according to their shade, in this instance, cherry is red and therefore both the tube and the balm is red. But what exactly is the product?
The Glossier dotcom balms are hydrating lip balms which are packed with antioxidants and natural emollients which work to nourish dry, sore and chapped skin. Dermatologically tested, these balms are formulated with what are referred to as being “nature’s heavy-duty moisturisers” which to you and I is Castor Oil, Beeswax, and Lanolin.
The dense almost wax like texture which takes a little warming to get out of the tube for the first use, but every tome after that has been fine. The wax like texture works to seal in moisture and as it does so, not only leaves the lips hydrated and smooth, it does so without being greasy, tacky or sticky. It also doesn’t leave any shine on the lips but it does impart a hint of colour which I really like.
This dotcom balm is nothing like Vaseline as people claim it to be, it is one of those products that you don't need to constantly apply because it lasts a good few hours on the lips and like all Glossier products, these balms are cruelty-free.
You can find all 8 of the Glossier dotcom balms right here* on the Glossier website.
