I have never been so excited to try out and do a review like Organic Island’s Shell Lip Balm – when the lovely ladies approached me to submit a sample for review, all I thought was, “Oh, I don’t know, is the sky blue?!” I love all things beach-related and as I shared last year, all I want to do is go to the Maldives, so it was a big yes from me! This Australian company, Organic Island and it’s Shell Lip Balm perfectly captures my love for the beach and of course, makeup.
And get this – the shells are 100% real and are not in any way man made (!!). The shells are filled with 100% natural, Australian made lip balm consisting of the finest ingredients including natural oils, Vitamin E, fruit and plant extracts and fruit butters. The lip balm boasts ingredients such as Jojoba Oil, Coconut Oil, Mango Shea Butter and Macadamia Oil for ultra soft and smooth lips.
Maybe I’ve judged a book shell by its cover but I already knew I loved this product before I even tried it out. Seriously, they are stunning. I was instantly drawn to the innovative packaging and whenever I spot this around my house, I have to stop and admire it – looking at it is just so relaxing and I instantly daydream of holidays in the sun, the ocean and relaxation. The lip balm is also an instant conversation starter and it’s an all round great product. The only thing I can think that may be a ‘con’ is that it’s so beautiful I’m scared of breaking it, so you have to be extra careful when handling it. I wouldn’t dream of tossing it around in my oversized handbag, for example! Other than that, I would highly, highly recommend this product for any beach buff, or if you are into fancy organic lipbalms.
(Psst: Organic Island very kindly gave me 2 lip balms, so I’m gonna give the other one in a giveaway, keep an eye out on that!)
Has anyone tried out Shell Lip Balms? What do you think of them? And while we’re on the subject, what’s the ONE beauty product you can’t live without on the beach? (Sunscreen is a given). Mine would definitely be lip balm! :)

I will only use lip balms that are made out of all natural ingredients and don’t contain parabens or any petroleum products. I consider myself to be a lip balm connoisseur because I have literally tried over 30 kinds of lip balm. I prefer either minty or fruity lip balms, so when I heard that the Made from Earth Spearmint and Blueberry Balm was really minty, I had to try it!
If this lip balm was so thick and waxy, it would be one of the best. I love it because it is made with natural ingredients, and because it is nice and minty which makes your lips tingle. Unfortunately, it is very thick and waxy and it doesn’t glide on my lips like other lip balms do. That is my only complaint.
I would recommend it to others to try because I am a little picky when it comes to lip products, so it might just be me.
