Core Battle of the lip balms
When I was a child ,we barely knew what lip balms were . I started using Vaseline petroleum jelly when it came out in a tube (ahh old times) , then I used those weird clear lip glosses that were so bad but I was a kid I thought they were cool . I bought new brands of lip balms with the time that I was growing up and I was even complimented that there are no lines on my lips . When I was in the 9th grade I started using the real deal lip balms , in different flavors and colors and I have never looked back . I would be comparing two of my current lip balms π because we all know how difficult it is to do it on the counter of a shop where the shopkeeper says βmadam yeh logey ki rakh dun β . I need to have a fabulous lip balm and kajal because I donβt use any other makeup product and these two products are crucial in making my face look human. Thus, my quest for the best kajal and lip balm never ends π
The first one is Nivea fruity shine lip balm in strawberry (rs 120). This beautiful lip balms comes in different flavors such as pomegranate, Guava , Strawberry and one more that I canβt remember π . I have used the three mentioned above and I loved all of them . There is something about Nivea lip balms that I really like , although there are many others in the market . Nivea always seems like the safer bet .
Pros- very hydrating , lovely color pay , smells nice too and can be used for a long time .
Cons β THE PRICE
Avon natural lip balm in grapefruit and mint β Avon has always been close to my heart because this was the first cosmetic company from which my sister used to order things π I still remember her sitting with the catalogue and deciding π . I have never ordered anything from Avon or oriflame because I have no representative around me and I wonβt lie , I like makeup on other people not me π . When my friend told me she has some lady who is a rep of Avon , two lip balms for 80 Rs and that it tastes sweet , I HAD to buy it π
Pros– Hydrating , amazing smell and taste and usually on sale π
Cons β Leaves a white layer after sometime and you have to know a Avon representative to buy this . π
Comparison-
Avon lip balm does what it claims i.e moisturize but it makes this weird layer on my lips after sometime and that layer makes me look flushed out :/
Nivea lip balm on the other hand does not last that long on the lips but still does the trick of hydrating my lips and gives a beautiful ting to my lips without making any white or any other color film over it π
Swatch βNivea/ Avon , as you can see the color of Nivea can not be compared in any way to that of Avon because Avon Doesnβt have any color
Verdict β I use the Nivea all the time because it is the best but I use the Avon when I feel sick because it smells really nice π .
For me it is half and half , both of them hydrate but Avon isnβt an all rounder π .Nivea is the winner for me . Tell me which do you find better .
Love π

agreed to the fact that avon does smell nice( n it tastes even nicer π )..i have used d strawberry one which earlier used to come in a very small jar π . You have made me fall in love wid lip balms again..aaj hi ja k lene padenge :yahoo:
Nice comparison Komal!! π π Me louuu Nivea Lip balms!! π π π
ME TO π
Komal..I have Nivea in Strawberry & Pomegranate and Avon in Strawberry, Cherry & Grapefruit..application & texture wise both are equal but I had allergic reactions and drying with Nivea…with Avon I have no problems so far..
Komal I think I am liking avon lip balms more than the nivea ones. Nivea ones dont do anything for my chapped lips, the moisture effect disappears within a few minutes. I loved them for their flavours and tints but not as treatment balms. Avon ones are working better for my lips. π π
rati i got tired of lying down so i am writing an article on a very crucial issue close to my heart π ill send it to you aaj shayad
wokayyzzz.. π
I have not used either.:( i am lookin out for somethin tat heals chapped lips.. There’s one in lotus..It has tint and heals too π
you have worn the most dangerous nail colour :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:
I LURVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT π
me too balm kajal woman most of the time
and yes a great lip balm is a must.

I have Nivea lipshine & gloss & I love it coz it serves a dual purpose . So it’s Nivea for me.
i love nivea lip blams π
O thanks for this, currently am using VLCC mint lip balm, which i find soothing and has cooling effect, but i would love to try the nivea one :waytogo: good review
Hey Komal, great review, I’ve been using Nivea lb in Dragon fruit, its yum and gives a nice sheen, but as Rati mentioned, does nothing for chapped lips.
I Love My Avon Blams except the Strawberry & Aloe Vera one :yelo: .. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
I am a faithfull AVON fan…. The grapefruit and mint & strawberry are my favourite.. I dont get any films on my lips or anything.. and it shows colour on my lips.. very natural looking and yes its lasts quite long for me.. π :drool:
Hi,
I have always used AVON Lip Balms and I love them. :heart: I have tried almost all its flavors but the strawberry one is my favourite :-* coz it gives color, gloss effect, moisturise my lips, stays for longer…in short it does everything and a full package in one balm :yahoo:
