My Experience with Himalaya Herbals Natural intensive Lip Balm:

Packaging: It comes in a simple twist type tube. The packaging is simple and travel friendly; nothing bad.

Color and Fragrance: This is a colorless transparent lip balm which has a very suffocating herbal fragrance. I am sure most of you will dislike the smell. The fragrance lasts on the lips until you decide to remove it completely. Thus, this is a major turn off for me.

Staying power: Himalaya herbals Natural intensive Lip Balm stays on for 1-2 hours without any meals in between. You need to reapply it and this may be a problem for some. The lip balm is very soft and if you apply too much pressure on it while applying, it may break.

How it works: Though, it has an uncomfortable fragrance added to it; it does its job of moisturizing the lips perfectly. It provides that intensive moisture for the lips. It also healed the cracks on my lips and made them pink and healthy. It also has fewer chemicals than the other lip balms as it is herbal. I quite liked the fact that it does not leave any whitish cast behind and gives a glossy sheen to the lips.

PROS:

• Affordable price
• Give a glossy look to lips and thus can be applied under or over lipsticks.
• Heals cracked lips
• Makes lips softer
• Survived a full meal
• Free from petroleum, silicones, artificial colors and preservatives.
• Contains winter cherry, almond oil, olive oil, honey, apple seed oil and other herbal ingredients and thus safe to be used.
• The packaging makes the product travel friendly
• Stays well for 1-2 hours and prevent lips from drying for 3-4 hours
• Finally, its claim to provide intensive moisture and it is completely true

CONS:

• Breaks easily if falls from the hand
• Fragrance is a major turn off

Rating: 4/5

Do I Recommend?:

If you do not mind the uncomfortable fragrance of this lip balm then you must try it 🙂

Would I Repurchase?:

If you have dry lips then you may want to try it. However, the quantity is huge for me and will last for quite a long time. I will get bored of it soon and thus will not repurchase because of the pungent smell.
