VLCC Lovable Lips Rose Lip Balm : Swatches & Review

A Lip Balm is a must have be it winter or summer, because lips have very think layer and no oil glands. So either you hydrate yourself very well by drinking water or use a lip balm. Market is full of lip balms, with different moisturisation levels. I know every body is smitten by Maybelline Baby Lips, but there are still some decent lip balms which perform well and are affordable. VLCC Lovable Lips is such a range out there, I quite liked the packaging and got my self the Rose version. Let me tell you what I feel about it.

About VLCC Lovable Lips Rose

A Rose lip balm infused with the goodness of Jojoba Oil that dresses and caresses your pout in one sweep to make it luscious, lovely and lovable. Jojoba oil is one of the richest natural conditioners that the tropical forests have to offer. It has numerous beauty benefits and is perhaps the best known plant based lip hydrator and soother. Jojoba oil heals chapped lips and seeps in to restore moisture and texture from within leading to smooth and supple lips. With Vitamin E, nourishing Almond oil and SPF, VLCC brings to you a range of sun range pout perfectors in many pretty hues.

Ingredients

Packaging

This particular lip balm in a mauve coloured screw-in tube with transparent over cap. The tubes are color coded according to the -flavour/shade. The lip balm comes in a convenient packaging. It is easy to carry and apply. The transparent lid also let you know the colour of the lip balm in case you own many from the range.

Shades

Rose, Strawberry, Peach, Orange, Almond, Honey, Cherry, Mango.

I got Rose for my self. It gives mauve/purple tint.

Taste, Texture & Smell

The texture of the lip balm is as expected, creamy. It glides on the lips very smoothly. The smell is not what I expected. I expected it to smell like roses, but it does not, it actually smells more like scented sticks 🙁 . Also it has little weird taste, which is really undesired from a lip balm. If I have to define the taste, I would say it has little soapy taste.

My Experience

I have been very loyal to Maybelline Baby Lips from last few years. It is highly moisturising and gives good colour too. Still I can’t keep my ogling eyes from checking out other lip balms. For example, I liked the fresh packaging of VLCC Lovable Lips, and I bought it.

Frankly I liked the title of the product, “Lovable Lips”, quite catchy huh?

I also like the rich creamy texture of this lip balm. Just one swipe across my lips, and my lips are moisturised. I do not need to use the lip balm for at least next 5-6 hours. The lip balm wears off with meals but the moisture stays on my lips for the entire day. It heals my dry lips in just one application.

It is a tinted lip balm and delivers purple colour initially. The colour pay off is as good as a sheer lipstick. Even when the colour wears off, it leaves my lips tinted as natural pink. I just love that colour on my lips.

Now coming to the bad part, I do not like the taste of this lip balm. It literally tastes little soapy for few minutes when you apply it. I feel a lip balm should be taste less or at least should not taste bad.
