Current Lip balm favourites

Everybody needs em. Lip balms. I have really dry lips and can't really go days without one.
 Initially it was all about the Baby lips, a clear one and the red cherry one for when I wore red lippie, these are really moisturising and soft. Personally sometimes I like a harder lipbalm, when my lips get really bad espcially in winter really soft lip balms don't really do much for me and then came my obsession with the Korres lip balms. Now I haven't really featured them before because you can't actually buy these which is a MASSIVE shame because they are amazing. These come in the Etihad business class little bag things - you know the ones with the socks and toothbrush. Before you comment, I have never flown business class with Etihad but my parents frequently use their air miles to bump up and since Etihad is AD's airline they use it quite a few times when travelling. Next time I go home I think I am going to hang back and then go through all the ones left over and steal all the lip balms(because there is a chance once my 5 are gone thats it :( ).... that's how much I love these. Anyway Korres do do lip butters and I think I am going to get a few of these to try. 
At the blogger meet up we were gifted the Blistex lip balms, the Balmi lip balm and this cute personalised lip balm from sweet cecily's - it has me on it!!! ( they also do make your own kits! - perfect presents!) My flavour is strawberrys and cream which was really sweet of them! I haven't used the Balmi lip balm too much but it has an amazing coconut smell and is really moisturising. I haven't used it much as I have pretty much been reaching for the Blistex lip balms - Strawberry and Mango these taste and smell AMAZING. I would say these are similar to the baby lips in softness and moisturising levels but...better? I prefer them to the baby lips and plus they smell much better!
What are your favourite lip balms?

Review : Maybelline colour tattoo x 3

Every blogger and I mean every blogger is talking about these, after trying a few creamy potted eyeshadow's and liking them I decided I needed to expand my colour range.... enter in the colour tattoo's. A lot of people had gone on about 'permanent taupe' but when it came to picking them out I felt ' Vintage plum' was a little more me. Since it was 3 for 2 in boots I felt it would be rude not to get the two other shades I had been lusting after ' Pink gold' and ' metallic pomegranate'. After my initial swatch pink gold is absolutely in the lead for my favourite shade. It's got a great pigmentation! I won't lie I didn't really read these properly so I didn't realise that ' vintage plum' was a leather effect. What does that even mean?! Leather effect?! Am I missing something here? Is this a posh way to say Matte? anyway all I know is it didn't swatch as half as well as the other two and I did wish I picked up permanent taupe.
I wore pink gold and it lasted all day and just a smooth as if I had just applied it right then. 'Metallic Pomegranate' is just as strong and beautiful by itself. I haven't had a chance to wear 'Vintage plum' but the second time I have tried to swatch it the colour pay off was much better so I am a little more optimistic about it now it is a really gorgeous grey-y lilac colour. I think it will make a perfect base to build a smokey purple eye on.
 I tried to show you all a swatch of them but my lens has broken and my other doesn't want to co-operate with me :( sorry guys! (I'll try and get a pic up soon!)
For a £5er I think these are really worth it, the pots are a great size and they are worth the money. They make an excellent base/eye primer to build your make up on. I think I am going to invest in the taupe and bronze shade! 
 Which shade is your favourite?
