VLCC Lovable Lips Strawberry Lip Balm Review

VLCC Lovable Lips Strawberry Lip Balm

Hello my favorite girlies,

Chilly winters are coming up and I am all ready with those cute hoodies and loads of lip balms. The first sign of winter is parched and dry lips. Hence my lip balm hoarding phase starts as soon as November starts. πŸ˜€ I spotted these new launches from VLCC and VLCC so far has done a fair job for me, hence I got this. Strawberry is one of our favorite flavors when it comes to lip balms. Let’s see how this strawberry cutie worked for me.

My Experience With VLCC Lovable Lips Strawberry Lip Balm:

I have always been a very big fan of strawberry flavor and that was the biggest reason I picked this one up. It comes in a very cute red and white packaging. The packaging has some strawberries and the name written in blood red colour. And there inside lies that cute stick. The VLCC lip balm comes in a turn-up stick and is very convenient to use. The size is petite hence it can be kept in pocket and bag for regular touch-ups.

I somewhere expected the stick to be in red colour, but this was dark red in colour. The fragrance isn’t that strong; it smells of strawberries and cream. The fragrance is very similar to a small strawberry toffee. The scent lingers for about half an hour and then vanishes away.

The stick does not have any creaminess at all. The consistency is hard and does not glide smoothly on the lips at all. I had to rub it like an eraser on my lips to get that minutest colour. I had to rub it thoroughly like 4-5 times to get some lip balm on my lips. A very little lip balm is there on your lips and at times I don’t even feel that kind of hydration that my lips need.

I kept my lips dry to see how it works. And I caught its weak points! When your lips are chapped, the skin is torn and instead of making it look good, it makes it look worse after a while. It got stuck on to the chapped lips and showed the world that I have chapped lips! However, it does imparts a slight red tint to the lips, which though not very visible, makes your lips look a little healthy and pink.

The lasting power is bad. It lasts for only about 1 hour without any water or meals. If you sip water or eat anything, then it’s gone there and then. Overall I would say I just liked the tint that made my lips look natural and that toffee smell; but as lip balm it has failed for me.

Pros of VLCC Lovable Lips Strawberry Lip Balm:

  • It gives a very light red tint to your lips which makes them look natural and healthy.
  • Will be easily available online and in stores too.

Cons of VLCC Lovable Lips Strawberry Lip Balm:

  • The stick is very hard and even to get that lightest red colour you have to rub it a lot.
  • No creaminess at all.
  • Does not hydrate the lips that well.
  • Will not do anything for lips expect for a very little hydration and light colour.
  • It gets stuck on the dry lips and the world can see how chapped your lips are.
  • Goes away completely in an hour and then again the rubbing starts.

Will I Repurchase/ Recommend VLCC Lovable Lips Strawberry Lip Balm?

God no. I seriously do not have time to rub lip balms all day. We have tons of better lip balms than this one, so this would be a total skip!

Conclusion: This actually does nothing which would make it worthy. There is nothing extra-ordinary. In fact it does not even do the ordinary job well.
