Hey all!
Today, I’ll be reviewing another product from Grace Cole. I love their colorful packaging, hence I picked this one up. Let’s see how it fares!
Price:
INR 299 approximately
My Experience with Grace Cole Coconut and Lime Lip Balm:
This cute lip balm comes in a subtle green tin with cute details on it. Opening this tin is easier than the other ones. The lip balm inside is the same color as the outer packaging. The back of it has the ingredients list. I love how it looks. It is a bit bulky, but looks super cute. It is travel friendly.
I’ve never seen or heard of Coconut & Lime fruit lip balm, it seems like a new combination of lip balm to me. We normally know of strawberry or vanilla lip balms, but this one was new to me.
This lip balm looks like a neon green shade, but it comes off as a transparent lip balm unless you use it heavily.
The texture of this lip balm is super smooth and creamy. It is like soft butter. It moisturises my lips very well, but doesn’t hydrate them. It is light and gives a very nice sheen to the lips. It has a light fragrance and it smells really good. Since it is mild, I don’t think anyone would have issues with the fragrance. It only lingers for some seconds after you apply it on your lips.
It stays on for 2-3 hours without meals. It may survive little snacks and drinks, but it won’t survive meals. I think that’s an okay-ish staying power. For the price, I think the quantity is great. This would take me years to finish it!

Nice post!!! I am fan fav for good lip balms, will skip this one!! Good reviewed!!!
I am gung-ho about anything with lime in it nowadays 😛
I love the tin packaging, not so much for applying the lip balm ofcourse.
A definite miss for me.
I have used a hand cream of this variant and it was such a put off for me. I love how balms look in tin packaging but it gets irritating and unhygienic after a while. A skip for me.
I love its packaging and lip balm looks buttery in the swatch itself! Lime and coconut seems a lovely combination 🙂
