Hello lovely ladies <3
Let me introduce myself this is Agnirupa *it becomes agni sooner or later :P* writing for Sukanya’s blog for the very first time :D I am so very nervous :-/ please be kind everyone :)
How is the spring season treating you all ? since it’s my favorite season I am enjoying my rediscovered love for everything green, coral, orange and citrusy *that means I am splurging more without reason obviously :-/* and my TBS Satsuma range is working as my mood lifter right now *I unscrew the cap and stick my nose inside in err..quite a doggy manner :P*
So recently as I was discovering my love for the extremely expensive and luxurious Forest Essentials range of hair and skin products I came across 3 uniquely flavored/named lip balms in their range *need I add that I am a lip balm addict? umm..i guess not :P* well coming back to my banter I saw the unique names- sugared rose petal *slurp..dont you just want to lick it off?*, kerala lime glaze *aahh..freshness..can you smell the lime? Or is it just me? :-/* and this sweet narangi juice *had to have it as an extension of my Satsuma range :D*
Lets spring on to the review :D
Luscious moisturizing Lip Balms soaked in citric or flower juices to soften and protect your lips. These lip balms seal in moisture, soothe dry lips, and leave them soft and smooth and glossy.With the tangy flavor of the ripe Narangi fruit to soothe and moisturise your lips
How to use: Apply regularly on your lips for nourishment and especially before applying lip make up.
Ingredients:
Price: Rs 495 for 5g *see what I mean by extremely expensive *
My take on Forest Essentials Luscious Lip Balm Sweet Narangi Juice :
Jabong again delivered my order exactly within 24 hours *chumma* :D and I spent 10 minutes fighting to open the almost bulletproof tamperproof packaging to find a pentagon *if its another shape I apologize..i am really that dense in geometry!* nestled inside which turned out to be a cardboard box containing 1 of the most cute yet classy lip balms I have ever come across <3
The lip balm comes in a miniscule compact type of packaging *better actually!* with an iron grey matte finish classy top half and the balm inside complete with a mirror!! *I mean, cummon how many lip balms actually come with 1*. Justifying its flavor the packaging contains tones and hints of golden yellow and orange which immediately puts you into a happy state :D
The balm is golden yellowish in color with a strong orangey undertone *am sure it makes no sense :P refer to the pictures!*and is the lightest I have ever used!! It is colorless, tasteless, non-greasy, non waxy, not at all heavy and just sits on the lips moisturizing them and making them smooth and supple with just a glossy hint <3
The fragrance..ohh my god!! Fresh fresh tingly tangy :-* it is very prominently orange blossom flavored with just a hint of floral which is hardly noticeable and the fragrance lingers for a while before fading. I just love the smell *_* it perks me up instantly and freshens my mood *sigh..kumbh mele mein khoya hua Satsuma range ke hi member hai ye*
The lip balm hydrates my lips instantly and survives for quite some time! even after it fades away it leaves behind its actual effects and my lips are never flaky or chapped and parched! Quite a feat there! *with 99% balms my lips start crying for moisture just after a meal*
Pros of Forest Essentials Luscious Lip Balm Sweet Narangi Juice :
- A drool worthy rare combo of cute and classy compact type packaging complete with a tiny mirror inside <3
- The texture of the balm is lovely and light which is apt for providing adequate hydration instantly
- The balm is non-heavy, non oily or greasy and absolutely has no waxy feel about it! You will forget you have anything n your lips
- Lasts for quite some time on the lips with a healthy glossy hint and even renders its effect after a meal \m/
- The fragrance which is fresh wake-me-up tangy orange blossom is probably the biggest plus point for me :D
- Impressive list of natural ingredients
Cons of Forest Essentials Luscious Lip Balm Sweet Narangi Juice :
- It is extremely uneconomical and expensive :-/ *495 Rs for 5gm!!! Ridiculous!*
- Dipping fingers inside to take the product is quite gross actually especially if you have to share with others!
- No sun protection ! * I can’t believe this! Daylight robbery that too without spf :x*
My rating :4/5 (-0.5 for being so uneconomic and -0.5 for having no spf :-/)
Do I recommend this? Well I have mixed suggestions for this! On the positive side the balm is super lightweight, non waxy , smells divine, made up of impressive pure ingredients which moisturizes and lasts long on your lips along with a sleek, sophisticated packaging so any balm lover and hoarder like me would definitely love to get their hands on this :D But on the flip side the balm is just a teeny amount of 5gm which comes at an extravagant price in an unhygienic tub and no spf..so sensible ladies please stay far away :P :P
And my lip swatches- (with just the lip balm applied)
That’s it for today !! hope to see you all real soon ! bye!! Have a wonderful day!
