Sensual and elastic lips are the dream of every girl, for the fulfillment of which it is not at all necessary to do expensive cosmetic procedures. It is enough to know the basic rules of care and do not forget about moisturizing lip balm. Read reviews of the most popular products in our review.
Belweder
Polish brand Belweder specializes in the production of medical cosmetics. Unique formulations, professional dermatologists and special ingredients in the composition - it is not surprising that Belvedere products are in demand among buyers.
The ball-shaped lip balm comes in five flavors:
- with blackcurrant oil and shea butter;
- with beta-carotene and vitamins (E, C);
- with buttergrape seeds and vitamin E;
- with propolis, lemon balm and green tea extract;
- with aloe extract, panthenol and vitamin E.
In addition, the Belvedere collection has a liquid moisturizing lip balm, a regenerating cream, a lip contour and volume corrector, a sunscreen gloss, a lifting lipstick and much more.
Piquant orange
Vitamin balm with sweet orange oil, according to customers, is indispensable in the cold season.
With a selected combination of oils (sweet orange, cotton seed, almond and jojoba) and vitamins (F, E, C), the delicate texture of the balm moisturizes and smoothes the skin of the lips, relieves the feeling of dryness and tightness.
According to reviews, after application, a thin film remains on the lips, which reliably protects in windy weather, with prolonged exposure to the sun and during sports.
The balm has a fresh orange scent with subtle peppercorns and a bright orange color. Upon contact with the skin, the product literally melts and spreads easily.
Clinique
Pharmacy brands of cosmetics rightly inspire more confidence among customers. Clinique's skin care products are rigorously clinically tested and are fragrance-free, meaning that the risk of allergies is minimal.
The brand line has a moisturizing lip balm that is worthy of your attention. Superbalm Tinted Lip Treatment is suitable for repairing chapped and dry skin. Sage oil and extractwhite birch in the composition moisturizes, makes the lips supple and more elastic. Aloe extract soothes and softens.
The fair sex appreciated Clinique (moisturizing lip balm).
Dignity:
- no smell;
- thick consistency;
- wet lips effect;
- nutrition and care.
The only drawback is the price (about 1000 rubles for 7 ml of balm). In addition, some customers report stickiness that disappears after 20-30 minutes after application.
In general, Clinique lip balm does an excellent job of caring for dry and chapped lips. The tool can be used at night to speed up the recovery process.
Avon
Approximately 15 years ago, Avon catalog cosmetics were at the peak of popularity. Today the situation has changed, but the brand still has loyal fans who advise trying the Intense Help moisturizing lip balm.
The unique Vita-E complex promises nourishment, protection and hydration for up to 24 hours. The fragrance-free balm was developed and tested by dermatologists.
The secret of the popularity of the product is easy to unravel:
- Action. The balm does an excellent job with peeling and stays on the lips for a long time.
- Price. Without discount - 110 rubles. However, the tool often participates in various promotions, so sometimes “Intensive Help” is a gift.
- Packaging. The very small bottle (4.5 g) fits easily into your pocket andany handbag.
- Expense. Despite its modest size, the balm is used economically.
- Lack of taste and smell. Suitable for children and men.
Jasmine + Vitamin E
Another product of the brand is the Avon Moisturizing Lip Balm with Jasmine and Vitamin E. The product will give long-lasting moisture, making lips smooth and soft.
Most of the customers rate this product positively. Balm cares for and nourishes delicate skin. The special texture is easy to apply, does not leave a greasy film on the lips.
As for the shortcomings, most often they note an even cut of the balm and a rich aroma that not everyone will like.
Faberlic
The Russian brand Faberlic offers us a trip to the sweet kingdom. “Caramel Praline”, “Lemon Pencil”, “Raspberry and Chocolate” are all names for lip balms, which, however, did not impress the customers.
Faberlic vitamin lip balm scored much more positive ratings. The main ingredient is avocado oil - a source of potassium, vitamins B, D and A. It has a moisturizing, regenerating and anti-inflammatory effect.
In addition to avocado oil, the composition contains vitamins E and F, which are responsible for softening and restoring the skin.
Dignity:
- original form;
- gentle melting texture;
- price;
- wet lips effect.
Lip balm “Faberlik” with constantsmoothes and nourishes the skin, moisturizes well and stays on the lips for a long time.
Customers note the classic aroma and taste of lipstick, which for someone will be a significant drawback.
Lose weight
Moisturizing lip balm and slimming - Faberlic experts believe that these two things may be related to each other. As proof, the new product Lipbalm Eat Less (“Lose Weight”) has appeared in the brand's collection.
According to one Italian laboratory, after applying the balm, 70% of the fair sex report a decrease in appetite. The main ingredient is the prickly pear cactus, the flower extract of which is able to satisfy the feeling of hunger. You simply apply the balm on your lips, the active ingredient reduces your appetite and the weight starts to come off.
In addition to the above component, Lipbalm Eat Less contains:
- rapeseed oil (smoothes, improves elasticity, relieves irritation and inflammation);
- shea butter (stimulates collagen synthesis, protects against UV rays, softens);
- Camellia japonica oil (antioxidant properties);
- citric acid (soothing and antiseptic).
Reviews
Placebo effect, marketing coup or real effect of prickly pear cactus extract? Customers also could not come to a consensus regarding the claimed effect of losing weight. Some argue that the appetite is really decreasing, others do not notice this. But hardly anyone will argue aboutexcellent moisturizing and caring properties of the Faberlic product.
Slimming balm from a Russian manufacturer did not become a sensation in the cosmetic world, because a similar product was released in the line of one of the Korean brands. Faberlik, however, found its customers because of the low price (150-200 rubles). The balm nourishes the lips and provides the necessary care, but we still question the reduction of appetite.
Which is better?
It's not easy to buy a moisturizing lip balm. We recommend choosing one of the Belweder luxury collection.
Brand specialists pay a lot of attention not only to the unique formulas of balms, but also to the packaging design. Lip balms are most often found on the pharmacy counter, which causes even more confidence. On average, the price of a Belweder product is 150-200 rubles.
