I have a confession to make- I absolutely love The Body Shop brand and their products. I have tried almost all of their product ranges. They are one of my favorite brands. I picked up the lip balm from their Vitamin E range. Read on to find my experience with this lip balm.
What the brand claims it to be is that this moisturizing lip balm soothes and protects lips from the drying effect of the sun, wind and cold weather. It hydrates and protects, soothes dry lips, has SPF 15.
Price: $9 for 0.14 OZ(4.2g) / INR 350 but you can find it on discount when TBS has the sale going on.
I bought the lip balm mainly due to the SPF 15 in the balm. The twist up packaging of the balm is pretty compact and hence easy to travel with. The balm itself is tint less but has some fragrance which I did not like. It also has shiny effect after applying though not shimmery.
I found the lip balm to be not that moisturizing and found myself reapplying it again and again throughout the day. It just sat on top of the lips without providing any comfort to dry lips at all. My lips are not in that bad a condition that requires extreme healing, but if someone has dry, chapped lips, this one is a big no no.
The only good thing I can think of is the sun protection with SPF 15. But then again the price is too high if the lip balm does not even perform its basic function. There are a lot of other good lip balms out there which are much cheaper and provide better relief for dry, chapped lips.
As you can see from the picture above I have hardly used it. It just sat on my dresser for the last one year. Because of my love for the brand TBS, I feel like giving this the benefit of the doubt. It is possible that the tube I got was somehow from a bad lot. Still I am not encouraged to buy another tube to try out. I will not be repurchasing this. This one gets a thumbs down from me.
