Review: Boots No7 Deeply Moisturizing Lipcare

I was so excited when Target started carrying Boots products a couple of years ago.  When I studied abroad during college, Boots drugstores were all over the place, and they carried the most magical, affordable products.  Although I was slightly disappointed at the limited selection of products available here at the states, I had to still try some of them out.

No7 is Boots' best-selling skin care and makeup line, and there are many products available that are so good that they have cult followings.  The Deeply Moisturizing Lipcare is not one of them.  It's one of those products that you use because you have it and you can't find the lip balm that you really love.  The lipcare is a white with the consistency of a lotion that absorbs fairly quickly.  Lips stay moisturized for about 30 minutes - not the 24 hours like the product claims.  After that, lips feel drier than they started out.  After a few days of using this, I've noticed that my lips are now dry and flaky - and it's no where near cold enough for that to start happening.  Unless you're going for that dehydrated, walking through a desert look, pass on this one.
