Essence Kiss Care Love Lipbalm – 07 Fruity Beauty Review

Hello IMBBians,
Who doesn’t love beautiful lips? Lip balms are the small care packages that are handy and can be popped out at any time to keep your lips moisturized. I had purchased Vaseline lip balm and it is really good but it melted and thus I had to find roll on lip balms and that is when I purchased, Essence Kiss Care Love Lip balm in Fruity Beauty.

My Experience with Essence Kiss Care Love Lipbalm – 07 Fruity Beauty:

I love tinted and pigmented lip balms. I have used only lip balms all my life till recently instead of a lipstick. I keep changing my lip balms often and I purchased this mainly because I wanted something handy and hygienic in my bag so that I could apply it on the go to my office or in the office. Fruity Beauty is the new addition to the Kiss Care Love range.

packaging

The outer color of the tube shows the color of the lip balm and the transparent cap is convenient to know what lays inside. While the packaging is quite good, the plastic is cheap and the cap is sturdy and locks well but I am sure that it would break eventually. The swivel mechanism is smooth and easy to get the product out.

lip balm

The product is dark pink-purple in color and is one of the darkest lip balms in the Kiss Care Love range. The fragrance is fruity living up to the name. The essence base is mineral oil and this is something I would not want in my lip balm. I love Bees wax or Shea Butter in my lip balms but considering the price of the product, this can be given overlooked as most lip balms/ lip sticks have mineral oil in them and this has a small quantity of the wax. The color gives a plum colored glossy tint on the lips. Even though the product looks bright pink, when applied there is no much coverage except the sheen coating with a little pigment. The staying power is around 2-4 hours and it has to be reapplied. The lips look moisturized when applied and it clearly coats the dry lips and hydrates it. The only drawback is that it doesn’t do any good for covering the pigmented lips. The lip balm doesn’t provide any long term effects and if not reapplied, then the lips look dry and unhealthy.

So the product is a good balm only for the tint and the moisturization it provides when applied but if you want long term benefits, you need a better lip balm.
