The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Lip Care Stick

By Lakshmi S.

My recent addiction to MAC lipsticks and love for cocoa butter lead me to the body shop cocoa butter lip care stick. A lipstick accentuates chapped lips as opposed to other make up products like concealer which cover blemishes. Hence my relationship with this cocoa butter lip care stick began. I have suffered with chapped lips and hated wearing lipsticks. Now every morning I wake to soft lips and application of lipstick is even and easy. !

This has become HG lip balm!

  • • Its moisturizes the lips and helps keep them kissably soft
  • • Locks in moisture for hours

Cons of The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Lip Care Stick:

• Little pricey for a lip care stick (but its body shop and cocoa powder. Hence justified)
• Those sensitive to the smell of cocoa powder and prefer the chocolate smell may not enjoy the way the lip care stick smells.
• Does not contain SPF.

How to exfoliate using the cocoa butter lip care stick:

Apply two to three swatches of the lip care stick on the chapped lips and leave it to absorb for 4 to 5 minutes. Then slightly wet your lip with water and use either a tooth brush or a rough towel to scrub away the dead cells. Reapply after exfoliation. Do this before bedtime and wake up to soft moisturized lips.
