Figs and Rouge Balm in 'Sweet Geranium'.

This is one of the little goodies that came in my December Feel Unique box!
I have not ever used any products from this company before, and probably never would have ever thought to get anything from them! However, this is the reasons why I got on the beauty box bandwagon, you get to try new things you perhaps never would have thought of trying before.

On further research, I found the brand tout itself as being one the the brands that Emma Watson loves, which really intrigued me. I went through a stage of wanting to be Emma Watson (I loved her face, style, hair, everything), and she was (and maybe still is) one of my idols. Just because of this celebrity endorsement I fell in love with this brand (easily swayed me!) and have decided that I must buy their products!

I got the 'Sweet Geranium' balm (click to see the full product details), and I do have to admit it does smell a wee bit strong! It is probably not for those who like subtle/no fragrance, because the smell is quite full-on floral. Mind you, I didn't really like the smell at first, but it really has grown on me.
I haven't had chance to smell the other balms as this is the first time I've had one of Figs and Rouge's products, so I'm wondering if the other ones have the same strong fragrance.

And the tin...oh it's adorable! So cute and adorably kitsch! It's definitely more luxe than pulling a bashed and dented tin of Vaseline covered in fluff from your handbag! The detailing seems quite 50's to me, but I like it and will make more of an effort of taking it out and moisturising my lips in public.



One thing I will say is that my balm looks to be a little grainy in the tin. I have no idea whether it's just my tin of balm or the way it's meant to be but I did get a little confused when I noticed the grainy looking texture. It's certainly not grainy on application, and therefore I have no complaints.

I do like the fact it's 100% organic and multi-use for the 'lips, face, hand and body', which does make it more useful. I have been using on my lips which have been baby-soft all throughout Christmas. I've also been using it on my nose, because my nose tends to get sore and raw over the winter months due to the excessive rubbing and sneezing and runny noses, and it does soothe the redness/soreness and moisturise.

So overall, it's a strong-smelling tin of wonderfulness!
I really do like it and do want to purchase more from Figs and Rouge. Maybe the 'Peppermint and Teatree' balm or the 'Pomegranate'? I dunno, we'll have to wait and see!

Did anybody get any other balm variations in their December Feel Unique box?
