Hello all,
Like every girl, I too am guilty of hoarding lip balms, but what can I do when brands launch cute lip balms? You gotta buy it right? Today’s review will be on one such newly-launched lip balm from Street Wear. Let’s get to the review now!
Price:
INR 150, but they are offering it at 135 INR currently.
Product Description:
My Experience with Street Wear Coral Kiss Color Rich Smoothies Lip Balm:
Packaging: This lip balm comes in a cardboard packaging with the details printed at the back. The actual lip balm resembles lipsticks from the same brand. It comes in a black flimsy plastic packaging. If you look closer, you would notice that the packaging is color coded because the picture of the girl’s background is the same as the shade of the lip balm.
Color: “Coral Kiss” is an orange tinted balm, but the color hardly shows up on the lips. It is a very light tinted lip balm. The lip balm gives just a slight wash of color on the lips, but it would do nothing for pigmented lips. You could layer on this lip balm to add more color to your lips.
Texture: The texture of the lip balm is very smooth and creamy. It isn’t a thick lip balm and gives a nice sheen to the lips, but layering on repeatedly would make it bleed. The lip balm imparts a cooling sensation on the lips. This tingling sensation lasts for 5 minutes and I love it.
This lip balm provides moisture to dry lips but does nothing to hydrate your lips. This lip balm smells lightly of peppermint. In the hot summers, it is the perfect scent. It’s a refreshing scent, I love it.
Staying Power: It stays on me for 3 hours and you need to re-apply after 3 hours or so. It wouldn’t survive a meal. Your lips won’t immediately feel dry and parched. It does moisturize lips a bit, but after 1-2 hours, you would need a lip balm.

Final Verdict:
I wouldn’t repurchase this one because I already have more than one of these lip balms. These are just average lip balms, not worth a repurchase.
