I first came across Moon Haven while planning my Perth itinerary, and subsequently visited the store, since I am round the area, and purchased both Moon Haven Cleansing Milk with Rose Geranium and Moon Haven Vanilla Lip Balm. 

As someone with combination skin that is prone to surface dehydration, cleansing milks are a staple in my skincare routine. They tend to cleanse gently without stripping my skin, making them an ideal choice for maintaining a healthy skin barrier hence I was intrigued by this, when I was in the store. My last emptied cleansing milks were Isntree Yam Root Vegan Milk Cleanser and Natio Silky Soft Cleansing Milk.

[ Review ] Moon Haven Vanilla Lip Balm

 

Product Description

Moon Haven Vanilla Lip Balm is a yummy Vanilla Lip Balm that is as soothing and moisturising as it tastes! This deeply nurturing and fabulously tasting lip balm not only imparts a gentle gloss to your lips but helps to protect them from the elements... be it the middle of winter on a cold and blustery day or the heat of summer. Made with deeply nurturing cocoa butter, castor and lanolin Moon haven's Vanilla Lip Balm is an everyday necessity.

I purchased the Moon Haven Vanilla Lip Balm during my Perth trip and was initially drawn to its simple ingredient list and light vanilla scent. Like most lip balms, it comes in an easy twist-up tube for convenient application.

The formula feels lightweight on the lips and gives a subtle glossy finish that helps lips look smoother and healthier without feeling overly sticky.

On first application, the lip balm provides comfortable hydration and a natural sheen, making it suitable for everyday wear or minimal makeup looks. However, after repeated reapplication throughout the day in an air-conditioned office, it tends to leave behind a noticeable white layer on the lips, which can make dry patches appear more obvious for someone with very dry lips. 

One downside is that the clear outer cover that holds the lip balm in its shape makes it hard to gauge how much product is left. The lip balm still looks ‘full’ from the outside, so I only realized it was nearly empty when very little product remained.

Overall, Moon Haven Vanilla Lip Balm is a decent natural lip balm for those who prefer simple ingredients and a lightweight glossy finish. The light vanilla scent and healthy-looking shine make it enjoyable for quick hydration and daily touch-ups. However, the formula may not suit users who frequently reapply lip balm throughout the day in office, as it can leave a white residue on the lips over time. That said, it could be due to my perpetually dry lips and it may not happen to you.
