Former Made in Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo has shared her go-to £7 conditioning lip balm that leaves lips ‘soft and super hydrated from the first application’
As we transition from winter into spring, our skincare routines also need a little tweak to make sure our skin is left feeling hydrated and healthy ready for the warmer weather and sunshine. The same applies to your lips, which usually need an extra boost of hydration during the colder months with things like heating, wind and cold all causing your lips to dry out and crack.
Former Made in Chelsea star Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo has already given fans a glimpse at how she keeps her pout soft and moisturised, as she used the Caudalie Vinotherapist Lip Balm in a get ready with me video. In the Instagram reel, Toff can be seen applying the affordable Caudalie balm to her lips before she begins the rest of her makeup routine, creating a soft and hydrated base for her lipstick.

The budget-friendly lip balm is currently available for £7 on Amazon, and is packed with conditioning and nourishing ingredients that help boost your lip health. It uses 99% naturally derived actives to create softer, more supple lips and a blend of grapeseed and castor oil to nourish your skin and protect it from oxidative stressors like pollution.
Shea butter is also one of the main ingredients, which not only actively hydrates your lips but helps to lock in moisture to stop your pout from drying out instantly. The beauty of the Caudalie Vinotherapist Lip Balm is that you can apply it as often as you need, and although it leaves your lips hydrated, it doesn’t leave a sticky residue so you can easily apply your favourite lipstick over the top.
Amazon shoppers have also been praising, it, with one saying: “Lightly fragrant, Leaves your lips smooth and soft not wet or glossy, definitely recommend.”
Another added: “This really is the loveliest lip conditioner, so good to feel on your lips, and lovely application,” whilst a third agreed: “Great stuff. My lips felt dry and sore. Not now this works great.”
One did mention: “This is a reasonable lip conditioner but the stick isn’t sturdy and I found that the product was quite soft – I can’t imagine this will last longer than a few weeks if used everyday.”
However others couldn’t get enough of the Caudalie Vinotherapist Lip Balm, with one writing: “Very soft and super hydrated lips from the first application” and another adding: “I use it every day, especially in winter, it keeps my lips soft without weighing them down! Since I use it they don’t crack.”
Although you can pick up the Caudalie Vinotherapist Lip Balm for £7 at Amazon, if you prefer to get more for your money LookFantastic has a duo pack that gets your two of the balms for £9.
If you want a balm that’s specially designed to be worn under makeup, MAC’s Lip Conditioner, £22, is an emollient rich formula that helps lipstick and lip liner pencils to glide on more smoothly, although it can also be worn on its own. Elsewhere, the Clinique Moisture Surge™ Lip Hydro-Plump Treatment is now on sale at Boots down from £20 to £16, and has a plumping effect that works while it hydrates.
