I love lip balms. And that is why I have like about 4 of them which I use regularly, and a few which I don't use anymore. I'm obsessed with buying lip balms, and that is why, I got Lakme Lip Love for myself. I wanted to buy it ever since I saw the advertisement for it when I was at Cafe Coffee Day having a small snack. So today's blog post is dedicated to Lakme's Lip Love.

Lakme Lip Love is a dual core lip balm, the inner core offering superior moisturisation to your lips. It is apparently, the first of it's kind in India, and I won't deny this, since this is the first time I saw something like this too. It contains SPf-15 that protects your lips from sun damage..

The flavor that I have is the Cherry one. There are 4 flavors available in Lakme Lip Love- Vanilla, Peach, Strawberry and Cherry. 

I'd like to say I absolutely love this lip balm. The dual core makes it look attractive, and it is effective as well. Cherry goes well with my lips, and enhances my casual look. At the same time, it also makes the chic party look look natural and not overdone. In simple words, it goes well with anything, and makes your look natural. 

I find the packaging pretty cute and attractive(but then again, I find all lip balms attractive so...). Mine is in a red, cherry colored, cylindrical lip balm container, with the wirds, Lip Love engraved on it in a cursive-ish font. 

The application, goes like any normal lip balm we use. Twist it, till the core is in your view, and swipe it across your lips smoothly, and apply as per your wish. 

The cost of Lakme Lip Love is INR 200, and I got it for INR 180, because I bought it from the Official Lakme dealers. I'm sure this will be available at all local stores soon. If you need this sooner, you can always find an official store.. 

That's it for Lakme Lip Love. I hope this review helped you. For me, I'd say everyone SHOULD try this !

So, the chapped lips season is almost over, and now I plan to do a review of a lip balm..(only me..)
Anyways, so as you guys probably know, I absolutely love Maybelline, and so today I'm reviewing one of their most famous products, 'Baby Lips' !

The Maybelline Baby Lips that I have is the Cherry Kiss one, and I'd like to say that it is amazing! It gives my lips a natural look, not too dark, nor too light. Just perfect, casual look. It does not as such protect your lips as it claims to, because my lips chapped even though I used it daily. But it is a good product, if you want a lip balm for daily application, which also gives you a natural look.

It costs around INR 165, if I'm not wrong, but I got it at discounted rate at INR 150. I think this is quite affordably, seeing that this product lasts for more than 3-6 months at least, even if you use it daily. And moreover the look you get after application, is something this lip balm is worth buying for.

Packaging is quite attractive. It comes in different colors, for all different flavors. Baby Lips is available in about 18 different flavors according to the internet, though I have seen about 8-9 only in the local markets.

The advertising that this product did was A LOT. There were ads about it on TV, I saw the banners around the city, etc. And that's why I got to know of this product, and i'm glad I did.

Recently, Maybelline also released an addition(rather an upgrade kind of thing) to the Baby Lips family. It is the 'Baby Lips Electro' ! I've used that one too, but I think I'll put it up as a separate review some other day.

That's all for Maybelline's Baby Lips. I hope this post helps you. :) Rather you should just go grab it.
If you would like me to review any product, please drop in a comment or so. I would love some constructive feedback, if you commented ! :)

So, winter has officially hit Mumbai! I feel the weather is really pleasant, except for the fact that no matter what, I have to get out of bed every morning. Who doesn't want to stay bundled up in their blanket on chilling winter mornings? But with this climate change, a lot of us get chapped lips. Chapped lips happen because our lips are really thin layered compared to the rest of our skin, and that is why it tends to dry easily in winter. But with today's DOs and DON'Ts list you'll manage having perfect lips even in Winter.

DO's-
1) Apply Petroleum Jelly- You get these in the local drug stores and sometimes, at genereal stores too, very easily. Vaseline, Imami Vasocare, etc. are some of the available brands. Petroleum Jelly or some sort of lip balm(not those flavored ones) can be used. These are very effective in helping heal dry and chapped lips.

2) Use Ghee- Yes, the Ghee we use for cooking at home, can be used to cure chappped lips. This is an effective home remedy, and used in quite a lot of households in the country. Just be sure not to lick it off!

DON'Ts-
1) Licking your lips- Licking of lips is strictly prohibited. It does make you feel relieved for a while, but it takes away the moisture that is left in your lips, drying them further. Licking of lips equals to extreme chapped lips. So, DO NOT lick your lips.

2) Use Gloss- Gloss may hide away your chapped lips from the world,but it does not have any effect in helping cure them. Even those, which claim to protect your lips and stuff, are redundant. All they do, is give your lips a shiny look and hide away the dry chapped lips. Never trust these to cure your dried lips.

So, I hope these DO's and DON'Ts help you out! :)
Have a Happy Winter and Wait for my next post. I may post something interesting ;)
Next post will be on Saturday. :P
