Hello dearies!
Lotus lip balm has been my all time favourite over years. I have used all their flavours till date. Recently I started testing other brand lip balms as well. This is my recent pick from Fabindia. (Check my recent Fabindia haul). I am slowly loving Fabindia products. Does it sound silly if I say I brought this one because I was so attracted to its pink colour? 😛
Lets check out how this product fared.
All I knew of Vaseline in lip care was their petroleum jelly until I saw this pretty pinkish red tube on their counter. I always trusted Vaseline; I was new to lip glosses so I picked it up.  Believe me now I have so many lippies but the first ever was lip gloss only. Guess we have few who always got their hand first on glosses and then go for lippies 😉
How to Use?:
Apply it on top of your lipstick or bare lips for a soft pink tint
Price:
Rs. 60 with shelf life of 2 years.
Shade Reviewed:Â
Strawberry frost
Packaging:Â It comes in a plastic transparent tube, with a transparent screw cap with a slanted tip as usual. The strawberry frost is the only variety available in this one. Also you can’t find that name anywhere on the tube but only on the outer cover. Totally beats me.
Colour:Â It is a beautiful strawberry red but more pinker. It has golden shimmer in it. Seriously why golden shimmers? The tint is really good but very subtle. I won’t advice using this without at least a swipe of your lippy.
Texture: The texture is extremely glossy but it is the first ever lip gloss which didn’t feel sticky to me. So Yay! But the gloss always gets separated from the color so it has to be shaken before use.. feels like tonic doesn’t it?
Staying Power:Â The lip gloss disappears immediately as you eat something so but if not it stays for 5 hours if you are not talkative. I used it to travel to Bangalore one and it stayed for 6 hours. And the moisturisation stayed for 8 hours that is if you are not using your mouth in any way. It was a night journey so otherwise it only stays for 4 hours maximum.
Fragrance: This is the good part. Strawberries all the way. Yummy!
On My lips:
I have worn this without anything. See it barely gives tint. My bottom lip colour is better. God I got pigmented so badly guys on my top lip which is increasing day by day even if I moisturise them and scrub regularly. Any suggestions?
MABH Rating: 3.5/5
Do I Recommend?:
Ya may be for starters in lip department who are looking for slight tints to check with their colours. It can be worn on top of a lip stick. No sticky lip gloss lovers and not for talkative ladies. Sorry girls I love you but Vaseline doesn’t seem to (wink)!
Would I Repurchase?:
I don’t know. This is going to take time for me to finish. I am more a matte lip lover! See how much is left still?
Hi my friends,
Today I will be reviewing one of the most raved about products –  Nivea Fruity Shine pink guava lip balm. This range is a hit amongst college girls and no wonder, I too fell prey for it. It has many options including strawberry, cherry, pomegranate and dragon fruit. But I fell for the look of the pink guava lip balm and so I wanted to try it right away.
Product Description:
The innovative formula of Nivea Fruity Shine with Pink Guava extract and shimmering pigments provides long lasting moisturisation and a delicious fruity flavor giving you soft and smooth lips with a light pink shimmer.
Delights your lips with fruity flavor and long lasting care
Enhances your lips with shimmering pigments and a delicate hint of pink
Contains SPF 10. Protects against UVA and UVB rays
Ingredients:
Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter
Price and Quantity:
Rs. 129 for 4.8 grams.
It is a twisting tube pack just like most lip balms and lip colors. The cap shuts in place and it is easy to carry around in your pocket or purse. I love the coral pink colored cap with cute little details on it which makes it all the more attractive. It is an adorable piece.
The lip balm itself is a gorgeous pink colored bullet with very fine shimmers on it. It smells good, not exactly like a pink guava but something close to it. I personally do not prefer fruity fragrances, but this one is to my liking.
The application is fuss free as you can swipe it on your lips directly from the bullet. The lip balm goes on smooth and does not bleed away. It stays for 2-3 hours and moisturizes my lips well. Even after the product fades away, it keeps my lips soft and supple. You can always reapply when you need it.
With one swipe you get a very subtle pale pink tint that won’t show up on pigmented lips. Two or three swipes and you are ready with naturally pretty pink lips that will add a glow to your face. It is a great option for everyday use especially when you prefer to have a natural makeup look. You need not seek your MLBB lip gloss or lip color. The shimmers are not loud but just perfect.
If I use it before hitting the bed, I wake up to a totally soft and pretty pout with mild pink tint. With regular usage, I notice that my lips are chap free now. It also has SPF 10 which is almost mandatory in all products these days. So that is a thumbs up!
MABH Rating: 5/5
Final word:Â
It is the most amazing lip balm I have ever used. It is great in terms of hydrating lips, tint, pricing and packing. It is the love of my life.
Would I repurchase it?:
Duh… Yeah! I am already on my second tube.
Would I recommend it?:Â
Definitely give it a try if you don’t have highly pigmented lips. It will win your heart.
