Goji berry is a good source of vitamins and minerals and, therefore, used as an ingredient in many beauty products like anti-aging creams, facial oils, masks etc. Goji berries contain a high amount of Vitamin C, which is known to support firming, tightening and protection of the skin. This is my first ever lip balm with Goji as the main ingredient. Sephora offers five more variants in this range in amazing flavours. Let’s see how it worked!
Price: $6 for 3.5 g
Product Description:

My Experience with Sephora Collection Lip Balm Goji:
I am a person who must have lip balm in my pocket at all times for my dry and chapped lips. Finding a pocket-friendly balm with a delicious fragrance is always a priority for me. So, I picked this nicely priced beauty and I’m in love with it ever since I used it for the first time.
I have pigmented lips, so I don’t really require a pigmented lip balm. This balm adds a little shine to my lips. So, I find it perfect for daily use, for small outings or for days when lipsticks feel too heavy. Coming to the staying power, it stays for 2-3 hours.
The staying power, however, does not impress me that much as the product completely gets wiped off after a single meal, which is a usual drawback with most of the lip balms. Nevertheless, this lip balm moisturises the lips and imparts a natural glossy effect.
Pros of Sephora Collection Lip Balm Goji:
• Adorable packaging
• Delicious fruity fragrance
• The texture isn’t overly greasy or waxy
• Provides a smooth base for lipsticks
• Moisturizes chapped lips
• Decently priced
Cons of Sephora Collection Lip Balm Goji:
• Not highly pigmented
• Doesn’t survive even a single meal
IMBB Rating: 4.2/5
