You might not have heard of Hurraw, but after you read this, I urge you to visit their site and check them out immediately! Hurraw is an all natural, 100% organic, vegan, non-toxic, cruelty-free and raw company that hand pours their own lip balms. It already sounds amazing, am I right or am I right? Hurraw believes in all natural and raw ingredients to preserve the healthy nutrients and goodies inside the lip balms and hence, your lips will feel oh so soft that you'll be coming for more.
Hurraw is different to your average lip balm. They're not sticky, not draggy, not waxy, not sweet, not too smelly, never grainy, long lasting and they never melt! Hurraw is the perfect size to fit in your purse/wallet, handbag or even your pencil case if you're a school student. The packaging looks super cute and organic and it's tube is oval shaped so you won't have to worry about it rolling of your desk like a normal circular tube. Hurraw's wide range of extensive flavours makes your mouth water! Seriously, there are so many flavours to choose from. From creamy vanilla to grapefruit, coconut to almond, licorice to coffee bean, chai spice to root beer even chocolate to earl grey tea! Did I mention that they smell as good as they sound? They smell heavenly, and it's not that type of artificial "Lip Smacker" type of scent. It's a natural and REAL scent that isn't overpowering.
I'm going to review my own lip balms so you can see what Hurraw is really like:
Criteria:
Super smooth, not draggy, not sticky, not sweet, not too glossy, not too smelly, never grainy, long lasting;
plus, it had to hold up to being in a back jeans pocket all day without melting!
It took us several obsessed years to formulate Hurraw! Balm and put it through all the rigors.
We love it, use it, and hope you do too.
Vegan:
Hurraw! Balm is a Certified Vegan product. 'Vegan' means no animal products (ie: beeswax) are included in our product.
We are proud to also be CCIC approved. The CCIC provides the leaping bunny logo which assures our cruelty free standards
(no animals are used/harmed/tested on in any stage of the manufacture of our product, including our suppliers).
Why Hurraw! is unique:
To ensure the quality and integrity of our product, we individually pour each tube of Hurraw! balm in our own facility.
Our top priority is to make Hurraw! the finest all natural, vegan, balm available... a great product to be used by everyone regardless of lifestyle.
We source honest, fair trade, organic, vegan and raw ingredients from reputable suppliers and are thrilled to share the labors
with other balm lovin' individuals. Your purchase supports legit fair trade, organic farmers and suppliers here in the States and around the World.
Raw:
Hurraw! Balm contains certified organic, cold pressed and centrifuged extracted, nut/seed oils and butters that have been processed
below 118F degrees and are still chocked full of their essential nutrients and enzymes. Although more expensive, the quality of cold pressed
oils and raw butters is superb; you'll feel the difference… your lips will be stoked!
We gently warm our oils and butters separate from our candelilla wax (which melts at 155° F).
We combine them at a high speed which keeps the overall temperature very low.
Organic:
Hurraw! Balm contains certified organic ingredients, if you would like our supplier certificates, please contact us.
GMO's:
Never.
Gluten Free, Soy Free, Shea Free:
The Tocopherols we use as a natural preservative is 100% derived from sunflowers (NOT soy, wheat or palm).
Our balms do not contain any soy or shea butter (ie: latex allergy).
Non toxic:
No petroleum, parabens, preservatives, artifical flavors or colors.
Did you know the shine in many lipsticks and glosses come from petroleum jelly (a bi-product of oil drilling linked to many health problems including cancer)?
A recent statistic showed that over the course of a decade regular users of lip products containing petroleum, can end up ingesting seven pounds of the stuff...

Smell - Smells like fresh sweet and sour cherries 8/10
Texture - Smooth and silky consistency, not sticky or waxy at all 10/10
Moisturization - Made my lips smooth, took away all the flakiness, made my lips plumper and gave a little red tint as well which was a bonus 9/10
Smell - Smells a lot like chinese green tea and smells very calming 9/10
Texture - Smooth and silky consistency, not too oily or sticky, glides onto lips very easily 10/10
Moisturization - Made my lips super smooth and added A LOT of moisture to my parched and cracked lips. It took away all the flakiness but there is no colour. It added a little glossy sheen to my lips 10/10
Smell - It has a very unique and strange smell, but in a good way. The moon balm is supposed to lull you to sleep and it really does do that for me. The scent is so calming and fresh. I don;t really know how to describe the scent. It smells like a mix of vanilla and herbs 10/10
Texture - The moon balm is a little thicker than the other balms because it is a night treatment for your lips and therefore is more intense. The texture is thick but glides on perfectly. It's not waxy at all but is slightly on the sticker side because it's a night treatment 8.5/10
Moisturization - I woke up with plump and super soft lips. The night I put it on, they were extremely dry and chapped so waking up to baby soft lips was quite a surprise. The moon balm is a true working miracle. If you need intense hydration, I recommend the moon balm 10/10
Smell - Smells exactly like earl grey tea. It's not a very heavy scent, it's just enough. It's not too strong but not too light. I personally love the smell of earl grey tea 10/10
Texture - Very smooth, easily glides onto lips, not oily, sticky or waxy like other lip balms on the market and feels very silky 10/10
Moisturization - This balm definitely worked wonders on me. At first, it was kind of average, but as the time passed, I could definitely feel and see a dramatic difference. It hydrated and softened my lips 10/10
Smell - Smells a lot like almond meal mixed with freshly baked almond biscotti. Definitely one of my favourite smells because it reminds me of gingerbread for some reason. This smell is great for sweet tooths 10/10
Texture - Again, very smooth, glides onto lips smoothly, not too oily, waxy or sticky. Perfect and silky consistency. Adds a little glossy sheen to my lips 10/10
Moisturization - The Almond balm didn't do as much for me as the others moisture wise but it still works better than any other brand that I have tried. It kind of just sat on my lips and It didn't absorb as fast as the others. In the end, my lips felt smoother than before the application, but it didn't deliver the results like the other Hurraw balms 7/10
If you suffer from severely dry, flaky, bleeding and chapped lips like moi or just dry lips in general, Hurraw will become your best best friend! I have become a dedicated and devoted customer to Hurraw since finding out about them. Every single Hurraw balm delivers rare results that you can't get from any other brand. I have tried Burts Bee's, EOS, baby lips, nearly everything and Hurraw is by far the best I have tried! It moisturises your lips and heals them quite dramatically! Hurraw uses cold pressed and raw ingredients to maintain the healthy nutrients and yummy goodies (the ones that instantly transforms your lips) inside their balms. The pros are that they're inexpensive, vegan, cruelty-free and 100% organic and natural so you KNOW that you aren't putting any of those nasties on your delicate lips! And the cons…WHAT CON'S? If you're willing to convert from your current lip balm brand to Hurraw, I really really do encourage you to take the step and try it! Trust me, you will feel a sense of satisfaction and you won't regret it! To see what I'm talking about, visit the Hurraw site HERE.
