Hi,
Lip balms are something you use throughout the year. What kind of lip balms I prefer? Moisturization is the first factor that matters. Besides this, I also like to use a lip balm that is lightweight, color less and ordure less. I want my lip balm to be invisible, almost. I already have used highly moisturizing lip balms such as Pure Shea Butter from Karite Buerre , Maybelline Baby Lips, Nivea Lip Balm, VLCC Lip Balm, Matra Holistic Lip Balm in Kiwi, Himalya Clear Lip Balm and many more. No doubt the moisture level is commendable of these lip balms, but somehow, they felt bit heavy or gave too much color while some had weird taste. Anyway, I can’t stick to single product, hence I am presenting my current favorite lip balm. Biotique Bio Berry Lip Plumping Lip Balm.
Biotique Bio Berry Lip Plumping Lip Balm
Biotique is an old brand which brings the power of Auyrveda through it’s products directly to us. The lip balm is also a bio product. Berries are full of vitamins and phytochemicals, which this lip balm contains. The lip balm has a natural plumping action on lips and leaves lips voluptuous like bee stung. The lip balm keeps lips moisturized and refined.

Ingredients
Packaging
Biotique Bio Berry Plumping Lip Balm comes in a green and white themed tub packaging which is the signature packaging from Biotique. It comes in small white tub with green colored screw-in lid. Also there is an intermediate white colored plastic lid to avoid any spillage. The packaging is bit unhygienic, but you can choose to pick the roll on type pack. I make sure my hands are clean before dipping my fore finger in to the tub.
Fragrance & Texture
It has a very sweet smell, almost like fruit jam, since it contains Berries. It smells very delicious. Texture wise, this is a lightweight pink colored gel based lip balm. Every application requires just a swipe of the lip balm and am all set for the day.
My Experience
During monsoon, my lips are not that dry or chapped as they can be during harsh winter or full time summer. Lips have thin skin and they need bit of moisture. Underneath matte lipsticks, sometimes, it’s necessary to wear a lip balm, specially a clear and lightweight.
Biotique Bio Berry Plumping Lip Balm is a very lightweight yet moisturizing lip balm which claims to give a plumping effect. So far, I have not experienced much of the plumping effect though. When I applied the lip balm for the very first time, I felt a bit of tingling sensation, but after that, I never had that feeling.
The lip balm works perfectly underneath a matte lipstick and protects my lips from getting over dried. It does not give much color to the lips hence does not interfere with the color payoff of a lipstick. Neither does it give ultra glossy finish to my lips since it is lightweight.
It’s that kind of lip balm which you would like to use before going to bed, since it does not contain SPF. During day you would rather want to go with a SPF infused lip balm.

I find Biotique Bio Berry Plumping Lip Balm a very nice lip balm being lightweight and moisturizing. It is my kind of lip balm without weird smell, taste or much color. It is affordable & economical. It also comes in a bullet. The only downside is the fact that it does not give plumped effect to the lips and sans SPF. ❤❤❤❤.5

I have used the Biotique Almond variant and loved it. This seems good too. But it doesn’t plump lips as claimed…
Nisha Malik
Yes dear, I did not notice any plump-ed effect on my lips!!

I already used it many times. It gives a nice pretty colour to my lips. My lips are little pigmented so it gives a nice pinkish shinning tone to my lips. Overall its nice product and reasonable too.

Even I used this some time back… didn’t like it at all for the same reasons moreover I even found it patchy
Nisha Malik
Well, this did not feel patchy on my lips. It went quite smoothly over my lips actually. I just dab it a little. That’s all I require these days.

The color of the lip balm looks nice in the pot, otherwise it goes almost sheer on my lips.
