Hey! I've been banging on about Pacifica for a while now after falling in love with their Hawaiian Ruby Guava perfume a while back; last weekend when I went away, a lot of people complimented me on it when I wore it, too! I discovered this sweet little set on Naturally Better You and decided to get it - I'm giving the perfume to my friend as I already have it, but I was going to buy the lip balm anyway so it worked out nicely!
In the set, you get the Hawaiian Ruby Guava perfume roll-on, the matching body butter, and the Colour Quench Lip Tint in Guava Berry.
As you know, I'm a huuuuge fan of this fragrance - I can't rate it enough! Brook, the creator of Pacifica, says she was inspired by a surfing trip to Hawaii when she sat on the decking watching the ocean and she could smell the coconut wax on her surfboard mingling with the sweet Guava fruits on the tree near her house. Every time I smell this perfume, I think of that story and crave a summer holiday! It starts off on me very fruity and fresh, and wears to a warmer, coconutty smell after a while. It's so lovely and I'll definitely be repurchasing once mine is finished!
I wanted to try the Pacifica Colour Quench Lip Tint after I heard it had no animal fats in. Animal fats make the lips addicted to lip balms because they stop the lips from producing their own moisture. I wear a balm every morning and every night, so I'm pretty sure my lips are addicted - not good! I thought having this in my bag might reduce my dependency on them, and hopefully give me a little bit of easy, nourishing colour, too!
As you can see, the colour is VERY subtle - just what I was looking for! It smells quite strongly of berry but it's not too overpowering, which is good. The balm itself is VERY soft - surprisingly so - and it definitely feels "wet", a bit like Vaseline but more nourishing. I've been finding myself reaching for it more than my other lip balms recently and you can apply it without a mirror and it does feel more moisturising than some other balms I have. I think it gives mty lips a shiny, healthy appearance. Result!
The body butter exactly matches the perfume with its scent, so they'll be perfect for layering together to make the scent last longer! It's a natural butter with amazingly hydrating ingredients like shea butter, almond oil and saflower oil. It's paraben-free and anti-oxidant rich, helping fight signs of aging whilst also protecting skin, too!
Overall this set is AMAZING - and at only £18 it would make an amazing gift, too! If you want to try Pacifica I highly recommend getting this set; it gives a really good insight into the quality of their products! Hawaiian Ruby Guava has me hooked and I can't wait to try more Pacifica products! Keep an eye out for my next Pacifica review which will be about the Pacifica Stellar Gaze mascara! Meli X
