Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm Review

The Thermal Cleansing Balm was the first product released by Omorovicza back in 2006 when they opened their flagship spa in Budapest.

They incorporate unique natural resources into their products, including black organic Moor mud (this gives the balm it's unusual colour) which is harvested from Europe's largest thermal lake, just outside Budapest.
As you can see the balm is black but it actually applies clear!

The glass jar gives the product a luxurious feel, a little of the balm goes a long way so even though this is a luxury sample size jar it lasted me for about two weeks. 
The balm is so gentle that it can be used by all skin types.  

It removes make-up easily, including eye makeup.  It doesn't sting at all when used over the eye area and every last bit of mascara was removed.

My skin feels absolutely gorgeous after using this balm, it is left soft and glowing.  I can't get enough of it!

Now it is not cheap, it is priced at £46.00 per 50ml on their website but this sized jar would last for ages.  They also offer free shipping and samples when you purchase it from theur website.

I will definitely be repurchasing this product! 

If you want to try this product you can buy a 5ml sample for £5.00 from Latest in Beauty.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain Rendez-vous

I have a slight addiction to lip products. Namely pink lip products. So when I heard that Revlon were releasing the Just Bitten Kissable balm stain range I couldn't wait to get my hands on one (or two!). I love my Revlon lip butters and have all the pink shades so popped along to Boots (Boots and Superdrug currently have Just Bitten on offer for £5.99) fully intending to pick up one of the pink shades.....
However...
The local Boots had sold out of all the pink shades so I ended up being a bit more adventurous and getting Rendez-vous. 
It's a bright orange/coral colour and completely out of my comfort zone! 
The bottom twists to push the "crayon" up. There is a lot of product and I think this will last for ages! The balm smells minty which is a nice touch. The colour applies well, no dragging and is very pigmented. The only thing I didn't like about it was its lasting power, I needed to reapply this frequently. I also found it didn't stain my lips evenly leaving a stain only around the edges which made me look as though I had been eating something orange!  
I'm glad they had sold out of the pink shades, making me pick up Rendez-vous.
 I have so many pink products that I would never have got around to using it! 
I went to another store and swatched all the colours as I want another one whilst they are on special offer.

I took this after the swatches had been on my hand for an hour.
As you can see the colours fade quickly, but they do leave varying degrees of stain.

Have you picked any of these up? What do you think?
