Hi IMBBians,
In the month of February, I reviewed one of the flavors from this range – “Cherry Tomato“. This article is the review of an another flavor – “Green Apple”. In recent past, I have also reviewed two lip balms by Korean skin care brands – by The Face Shop and Skinfood. The reason why I hoard lip balms is because I suffer from extremely dry lips and no amount of lip balm application can remedy that, but this does not stop me from trying out new lip balms every now and then. I bought a bunch of different lip balms as part of my Korean skin care and makeup haul. This post is the review of mini fruit lip balm by Tony Moly.
Product Description:
This too-cute-for-words fruit shaped lip balm is not only adorable but also extremely hydrating and soothing. The lightweight and creamy formula melts into lips for long lasting moisture leaving lips happy and hydrated. Oh, and it smells delicious– you won’t regret it!
Price:
$10
My Experience with Tony Moly Mini Fruit Lip Balm Green Apple:
Tony Moly has the cutest ever packaging for their products and it is called “mini fruit lip balm”, then you can assure that the packaging will be shaped like a mini fruit. Hence, I bought this product because of its extremely cute packaging. It looks like a tiny, green apple which is cut in half and the top half is a twist up cap and the bottom half has a tub to hold the product. The biggest and perhaps the only downside of this product is that I have to use my fingers to use the product. When I bought this product, I thought it would be in the dome shape like EOS lip balms and all I have to do is to slather it on my lips without digging my fingers in the product. This is however not the case in this product and I do have to pick up the product with my fingers which seems unsanitary to me, but apart from thatm I have no qualms about the packaging.
The Cherry Tomato lip balm had a pleasant, fruity fragrance and I had expected the same genre of fragrance from this one too, but it does not have the same pleasant or natural fragrance and certainly does not resemble a Green Apple.
The texture of the balm is that of a shiny lip balm in a jar. It adds faint tint and shine to the lips, but nothing like a lip gloss and looks fairly natural on lips and I am sure it will look even better on non-pigmented lips. I really like this lip balm because, it is moisturizing, adds sheen to lips, has a cute packaging and smells amazing. My only qualm is that I wish it has a longer lasting power and a bit more hydration for my dry lips. Also, fragrance could have been a little better.
Pros of Tony Moly Mini Fruit Lip Balm Green Apple:
- Affordable lip balm.
- Extremely cute packaging.
- Has 5 different flavours.
- Has a very subtle fragrance which vanishes soon after.
- Has a sweet taste and doesn’t feel uncomfortable if a little bit is swallowed.
- Provides a moisture barrier and hydration to the lips.
- Has real fruit extracts and flavors and has the goodness of shea butter and witch hazel.
Cons of Tony Moly Mini Fruit Lip Balm Green Apple:
- I wish that the packaging is in dome shape like EOS lip balm to keep the process more sanitary.
- Moisture level could have been a little higher for dry skin people like me.
- Fragrance is not as pleasing as the Cherry Tomato flavor.
IMBB Rating: 4/5
Do I recommend Tony Moly Mini Fruit Lip Balm Green Apple?
I like the aroma of the Cherry Tomato flavor more than the Green Apple, but I still do totally recommend this lip balm to all those who regularly wear lip balms and it will serve the purpose of a good lip balm well. People with extremely dry lips like mine might need an extra boost of moisture by supplementing it with a Vaseline or a lip oil. The cute packaging will appeal everyone and is the biggest selling point.
