My Experience with The Body Shop Born Lippy Strawberry Lip Balm

Packaging

The product is packed in a circular plastic box which is transparent. A sticker on the lid of the box according to the flavor of the lip balm makes the lip balm container look much more attractive and appealing. It is a nice and appealing box which instantly catches your attention.

Shade& Pigmentation:

The Body Shop Born Lippy Lip Balm is available in a slightly pinkish shade and when applies adds a shine to your lips. It has a slightly thick and sticky feel as well. You can choose the quantity to be applied according to the kind of look you would want for your lips.

Texture:

The texture of this lip balm is thick and sticky. It comes in the form of a cream which has a thicker consistency. It is one of the best lip balms for my lips. It instantly cures the cracks on my lips and over the years it has also helped me greatly in giving my lips a fuller and better look.

Application:

The lip balm comes in a thick cream like form and one usually uses their fingers for applying it. You should be very sure that your hands are clean and dry. You can also use your lip brush to apply the lip balm.

Staying Power:

The lip balm has a good staying power and the consistency of the lip balm is such that it does not come off easily. It usually stays for a good 3- 4 hours.

Experience:

I was never a person who would apply a lot of lip balms. My lips would crack during the season changes and especially during the onset of winters. I started using The Body Shop Born Lippy Strawberry Lip balm and have never stopped using it. It has been about six to seven years that I have been using just this lip balm and I have never felt like changing it. It has made my lips looks better, fuller and moreover, my lips don’t crack much either. I usually apply it once a day during the summer months and usually two or maximum three times during the winters or seasonal changes. The quantity of the lip balm is good and will not keep you running to the store in every one or two months.

 

Pros
  1. Easy to apply
  2. Great fragrance
  3. Moisturizes the lips
  4. Travel friendly
  5. Cute container
  6. Good Quantity
  7. The lip balm does melt or change its consistency in different weather conditions
  8. Gives the lips a shiny look
Cons
  1. Slightly expensive for a lip balm
  2. It applied in large quantity leaves the lipsticky
Recommendation?

I would definitely recommend this lip balm to everyone. It is a great lip balm.

Rating:

I would give this product 4 stars out of five stars.

The shade is great and so is the lip balm. It becomes sticky if you use it in large quantities.

Body shop products are definitely overpriced but all products which I have used from this brand have never disappointed me, so I don’t mind paying a little extra
