Marcelle CLIMATIK lipbalm with SPF 30

The Marcelle CLIMATIK outdoor lipbalm with SPF 30 is part of the CLIMATIK line, which was created specially for the Canadian climate. Formulated thinking about people who like to practice activities outdoor either during summer or winter.

This lip balm looks white but it goes on colourless and leaves a nice and settled sheen to the lips, it does not have a scent to it and it has SPF of 30 which I love!. It features rather a unique packaging with no removable lid, it has a button that you pull down on the side of the tube and  the product comes up as the tube opens in the middle; it takes a while to get used to it since I am so used to traditional kind of packaging but it's always cool to try new things.

I had the chance to try this lip balm last spring here in Canada and it moisturized my lips very well, no complains at all, I normally apply lip balm 3 or 4 times a day as I feel my lips need it. 

I went to Mexico during the summer for a couple of months and since this baby has SPF 30 I decided to bring it with me to keep my lips protected, while in Mexico I stayed in my home city which is kind of (very) warm, but I also went to the beach (where the heat was even worse) and this lip balm kept my lips drying; however, I have to say, that I felt like in hotter climates I had to apply it much more often to avoid my lips from chapping. I also noticed that the balm started to dry out on the top, I guess it was to harsh of a climate change for it, it was not a big deal since I just cut the top off it and kept using it as normal. 

Now that I'm spending this (very mild still) winter back in Canada, I can see that again, I just need to apply my lip balm 3 to 4 times a day just as I used to, so I guess that maybe Mexico was to hot for the CLIMATIK lip balm, which is ok, but I really wished it would work in Mexico because of the SPF!! I have also notices that the bar is starting to dry out again, so I guess it might be because of the packaging, maybe it doesn't close tight enough.

Over all I like the balm itself and love the fact that has SPT 30; but I think the packaging is just not as nice as it seemed at first, while it looks innovating, it allows the product to dry and even some little lint particles can manage to get into the tube and stick to the bar  

If you are into protecting your skin from sun damage I recommend you give it a try, you can find it at your local drugstore.

Question, have you tried it? Do you normally use a lip balm with SPF in it?
