The Body Shop Mango Lip Butter.

Hey readers! How have you all been? Winters have officially hit Karachi and hope you guys are enjoying every bit of it? We all wait for winters desperately, don't we? It's our favourite season of the year and I'm sure it is favourite for most of you! Speaking of that, a lot of extra care has to be taken in winters as this season brings with it dry chapped lips, dry skin and so much more which is not good for us. And so we decided to review a lip care product for you guys. 

I will be reviewing The Body Shop Mango Lip Butter.

Review: 

This lip butter comes in a small yellow coloured, 10ml jar. I find the packaging of the lip butter really cute and easy to use. It is completely travel friendly. Although I prefer tube packaging over the jar ones as there are minimal to absolutely no chances of contaminating the product.

Quantity of the lip butter is fairly good. The product will last for a good seven to eight months. 

The thing about the lip butters is that they are thicker in consistency than the usual lip balms. So when applied on lips it appears as a thick layer. I wouldn't say that the lip butter doesn't show up as completely transparent on the lips because every time I apply this lip butter, it shows up as a gray-white film on my lips. I'm not really sure if it will show up the same on everyone else too but it does show up kind of pale on my lips and for this reason I can't wear it alone whenever I have to go out. I usually wear this lip butter before going to bed and so that it stays over night and nourishes my lips well.

The results are pretty average. It makes my lips soft and smooth when I wake up in the morning. But for constant results one has to use this lip butter regularly. In my view it is not really moisturising or hydrating to my lips when applied. May be that is how a lip butter is suppose to be. So in my opinion it's wrong to consider a lip butter to function exactly how a lip balm does. The lip butter is not sticky.

One thing I completely love about this lip butter is it's fragrance! It smells like real mangoes. Mango lovers would fall in love with this product. The fragrance of mangoes is so heavenly that most of the times I end up eating the product by constantly licking my lips, hehe! The smell goes away after some time. 

Ideal for use in winters. 

For a comparative review check my blog post on Avon Intensive Moisture Lip Treatment. 

Price and Availability: I bought this Lip Butter from The Body Shop outlet located at The Dolmen City Mall, Karachi. Worth 790Pkr.

Points in favour:

• Good quantity of the product.
• Heavenly fragrance of mangoes.
• Thicker than usual lip balms.
• Softens lips.
• Fruity remedy for dry lips.

Points not in favour:

• Appears as a gray-white film on the lips.
• Jar packaging may lead to contamination of the product.
• A bit pricey. 

Rating: I would rate this product 3.5/5

Luscious Super Moisturizing Lipstick in Candy Pink.

Hey gorgeous readers! How have you all been? I'm writing after days today and it feels good to be back on the blog! We're so sorry for not posting regularly as we are facing a very hectic schedule at the hospital. Please bear with us.

Today I'll be reviewing a lipstick. As you all know I'm a fan of matte lipsticks and they have always been my favourite but as you all know that winters are approaching and would hit Karachi anytime soon and so I have switched to creamy, moisturizing lipsticks! I will be reviewing LusciousSuper Moisturizng lipstick in Candy Pink. 

What does Luscious say about this lipstick?

Our bestselling lipstick collection. A creamy and moisturizing formula enriched with Vitamin E and Grape Seed Oil for healthy lips. Designed for all day comfort and natural color results. Each shade is now a celebrity! Available in 20 satin-finish, shimmer and glossy shades.
Contains no animal ingredients. Alcohol free.

Review:

I'm sure you would all be familiar with the brand Luscious Cosmetics, right? It is one of the leading cosmetic brands in Pakistan. 

This lipstick comes in a silver, plain metallic container with the Luscious logo engraved on the top of the container. The packaging is simple yet elegant. And it is completely travel friendly.

Luscious super moisturizing lipstick collection comes in 20 different shades! Thats pretty amazing, no? Which means there is going to be a shade for everyone out there! 

I am in love with this colour and the texture of this lipstick. I agree with the Luscious claim that these lipsticks are super moisturising. As winters are approaching we need lipsticks which not only have a good color pay off but are extremely nourishing and moisturising to our lips so that we dont end up with cracked lips! The texture of this lipstick is creamy. It glides on my lips very easily. I wouldn't say that the colour shows up well with just one application as I have to apply it twice to get the actual better colour on my lips. The colour Candy Pink is basically a bright pink with peachy undertones but I would say that the colour appears different on every person. When I apply this lipstick it doesnt show up as a dark colour but when my friends apply it, it shows up a bit darker on them. So you obviously cannot entirely rely on a review and check the swatches for this lipstick for yourself too. 

This lipstick stays put on my lips for a good three hours provided I dont eat or drink in this between. I know this is not really a favouring point but I believe it is the case with all the creamy textured lipsticks. The lipstick as the name says is super moisturising. And when I am saying this I literally mean that I dont need any prior lip-balm application as this lipstick does both that is, moisturise my lips as well as pigments my lips. The lipstick is not non-transferable and can be easily transferred. The lipstick has no weird fragrance. 

Pricing and Availability: I bought this lipstick from Agha's Supermarket. Worth 645Pkr. 

Points in Favour:

• Easily glides on the lips
• Moisturises lips
• Keeps the lips hydrated for a good three hours.
• Colour pay off is good.
• Wide shade range
• Contains no animal ingredients
• Alcohol free
• Reasonable price
• Travel friendly packaging

Points not in favour:

• Can be transferred
• Need frequent re-application.

Rate: I would rate this lipstick 4/5.
