VLCC Lovable Lips Lip blams Review

I'm a lip balm hoarder (Read : Make-up hoarder). I have tons and tons of it and I still feel I can never have enough. When I find a lip balm which is not just attractive looking, but is also affordable, I can't help immediately trying to grab it!

Today in the review : VLCC Lovable Lips

Price : Rs.125 /-

Quantity : 4.5g

Shelf Life - 3 Years

Packaging - Comes in a chapstick like packaging. The outer packing is of a similar color as that suggested by variant.

My experience with VLCC Lovable Lips :

These lip balms are part of my bag which I take with me for swimming. Before entering the pool and after taking the clean-up shower, hydrating and moisturizing my lips becomes a priority.

Something that I have noticed about these lip balms is that they are super hard to glide onto my lips, and they do not provide long lasting moisturization either.

I have to use it frequently and even after doing so, I have not seen any effect in solidification of these - They are still very hard to glide.

These are not super tinted or amazingly hydrating. These are definitely not meant for deep winters and dry weathers. Though for summers, they can be an ideal choice, as these are not heavy on the lips and also provides an SPF of 15.

Rating - 2.5 / 5

Overall Thoughts :  the formulation of these lip balms are not hydrating enough, and end up settling into fine lines, so I won't recommend this for winters. But for summers, they become an affordable option with the added bonus of giving you that SPF 15 protection. So if you are reading this in summer, go for it!

New In Drugstore- Organic Harvest Lip Balm! Review

Winters to me means hot soup and momos, lots of hot chocolate and popcorn, snugly bed and loads of lip balms to keep my chapped lips at bay. 
Few days ago, I reviewed Maybelline BabyLips Candy Wow - a new variant in lip balms. Today I have another new contestant by Organic Harvest.

Towards the end of 2015, Maybelline came out with quite a lot of new products in Indian market. I love new launches. I love to try and test new products but my pocket doesn’t allow me to check out every new product.

                                           

Review : Chapstick Active Lip Shield 365

Hello !!

Everybody loves beautiful soft pink lips, I’m no different. So, when I received this chapstick in my May fab bag I got very excited but due to so many lip balms and butters in stash I didn’t open the packaging for a while. Chapstick is trusted and popular brand of lip care from USA. So, receiving this product as a bonus in that fabbag was a win win for me.

Price – Rs209 for 4g

Packaging

The lipbalm comes in a retractable stick with click clock cap.. It’s a common packing of most of the lip balms available in market right now. Packaging is travel friendly.

Product Claim

Helps prevent sunburn. Higher SPF gives more sun burn protection. Helps prevent and temporarily protects chafed, chapped or cracked lips.

Usage

Apply liberally before sun exposure and as needed. Reapply at least every 2 hours. Use a water resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating.

Texture

It’s creamy but not too creamy; it glides easily on the lips. It smells like lemonade, unique delightful citrusy scent it has. The downside is, it leaves a white sheen on my lips after application.

My Experience

Even though the product smells fantastic and has a little creamy texture, yet it didn’t stick to its claim. It didn’t give my lips the right amount of moisturization, leaving them chapped. Instead of moisturizing my lips, it leaves my lips more dry chapped. The major downside of this product is that it is not at all comfortable on lips; it feels as if you’re carrying some extra weight on the lips. As I mentioned before, it leaves a white flaky layer on the lips. The good about this lip balm is it gives year long protection i.e. it is suitable for all the seasons and specially in summers as it comes with broad spectrum SPF 50 that provides full protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Recommendation

This lip balm certainly did not live up to its claims. I’m quite disappointed in the product. I might like other variants of Chapstick but not this one for sure. Only for the sunscreen purpose you can use it but then make sure you top it us with another lip moisturizer for keeping the dryness at bay.

Rating – 2 out of 5 !!
