Hi guys. Hope everyone is doing well. It's already summer in Kolkata and I'm not enjoying the scorching sun. And today I'm going to tell you about a product which I bought 2 months back and have been putting it to test since. It is a tinted lip balm basically and it's from a brand called Island Kiss. I had bought it from Amazon at 50% discount mainly because I had to add something to my cart to avail free shipping. And honestly, I would not have bought this product if it were not on sale. But I quite like it now. So here's the review.
Packaging: Well, honestly, the packaging is absolutely beautiful. The colour of the cardboard box corresponds to the colour of the product. It is in the form of a squeezy tube. I had no idea about the packaging before I got it and it's brilliant. And yes, the tube came in cardboard box withing another box. They've put a lot of thought in packaging.
Quantity: 14g
Price: 499 INR
Ingredients: Tropical Mango & Avocado Butter, Organic Beeswax, Stevia, Organic Carrot seed Oil, Pure Castor Oil, Rich Vitamin E Oil, Organic Macademia Nut Oil, Citrus Oil, Raspberry Seed Essential Oil, Natural Organic Colour.
Review: The texture of this lip balm is like an oil (light weight) and it has a fragrance (actually smells like castor oil) but it's not to overpowering. It has a pink tint. During the winter, it wasn't too moisturizing but it stained my lips well. I used to apply at night and in the morning I found my lips having a pink tint which I really enjoyed. For me, this is essentially a lip balm for summer as it is very light and the moisturizing power is just about right. It stays for not more than 2 hours (without food) but the tint remains forever (even with eating/drinking). It works as a good liquid lipstick remover.
Pros:
Cons:
Final Verdict: 3/5. If you are looking for a light weight, somewhat moisturizing and good tinted lip balm then it's good otherwise it is not worth the money. So it's somewhere in between.
