Salutations boys and girls,
I feel like the combination of central heating, air con, wind and rain recently has left my skin a little parched. Not to mention the slathering on of face paints for Halloween type fun. As a result I've had chapped lips and more redness in my cheeks than usual.
This presented the perfect opportunity to try out the cult product which is Dr PawPaw ointment - there are three colour options available; clear, pink/peach and red. I selected pink/peach.
I confess I was skeptical, as I've been obsessed with Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm all year. Particularly because it's a matte balm (great for guys and also those who want to slick lippie on top).

Dr PawPaw was bought as part of my recent shopping frenzy on Love Makeup and was around £7 for 25ml which is very good value. As you can see from the photos it's not matte, however I have to say it feels really nice and hydrating on the lips, with a very subtle tint.
I like that it doesn't have a scent like Elizabeth Arden's 8hr cream and imagine if applied to a chapped nose mid-cold (overnight) it wouldn't sting quite like the 8hr cream can. It's may not be quite as intensive on the treatment side through either.
I applied it to my cheeks last night and it gives a nice sheen, but I'd say the colour isn't really visible even on my ghost like complexion - so I wouldn't give up your cream blushers just yet. On wind chapped days I'll use this as a base and tap a little cream blush over the top to add a little more colour while maintaining protection and hydration throughout the day.
Not one for the chaps or ladies who are wedded to a matte skin look.
What's your go to winter skin protector? How are you getting along so far this year with the wind/rain v central heating battles?
Til next time kitty kats, love and lollipops,
