First date. You meet the young man’s eyes, his eyes glide over your face and freeze on your lips. In fact, the stronger sex is very attentive - a man will definitely pay attention to the weathered or dry skin of his lips, especially if he is thinking about a kiss.
Sensual and elastic lips are the dream of every girl, for the performance of which it is not necessary to do expensive cosmetic procedures. It is enough to know the basic rules of care and do not forget about the moisturizing lip balm. Read reviews on the most popular products in our review.
Belweder
The Polish brand Belweder specializes in the production of medical cosmetics. Unique recipes, 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 is available in five versions:
- with blackcurrant oil and shea butter ;
- with beta-carotene and vitamins (E, C);
- with grape seed oil and vitamin E;
- with propolis, lemon balm and green tea extract;
- with aloe extract, panthenol and vitamin E.
In addition, there is a liquid moisturizing lip balm in the Belvedere collection, a regenerating cream, a means for correcting the contour and volume of lips, sun shine, lifting lipstick and much more.
Piquant orange
Vitamin balm with sweet orange oil, according to customers, is indispensable in the cold season.
Thanks to the selected combination of oils (sweet orange, cotton seeds, almonds and jojoba) and vitamins (F, E, C), the delicate texture of the balm moisturizes and smoothes the skin of the lips, eliminating the feeling of dryness and tightness.
According to reviews, after applying on the lips there is a thin film that reliably protects in windy weather, with prolonged exposure to the sun and during sports.
The balm has a fresh orange aroma with subtle peppercorns and a bright orange color. When in contact with the skin, the product literally melts and is easily distributed.
Clinique
Pharmacy brands of cosmetics rightly cause more confidence among customers. Clinique skin care products are undergoing serious clinical trials, they do not have fragrances, which means 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 restoring chapped and dry skin. Sage oil and white birch extract in the composition moisturize, make the lips supple and more elastic. Aloe extract soothes and softens.
The fair sex appreciated Clinique (moisturizing lip balm).
Advantages:
- lack of smell;
- thick consistency;
- the effect of wet lips;
- nutrition and care.
The only drawback is the price (about 1000 rubles for 7 ml of balm). In addition, some customers note stickiness, which disappears 20-30 minutes after application.
In general, Clinique balm copes with the care of dry and weathered lips. The tool can be used at night to speed up the recovery process.
Avon
About 15 years ago, cosmetics from Avon catalogs was at the peak of popularity. Today the situation has changed, but the brand still has loyal fans who advise trying Intensive Care moisturizing lip balm.
The unique Vita-E complex in the composition promises nutrition, 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 tool is easy to solve:
- Act. The balm copes with peeling and holds on the lips for a long time.
- Price. Without a discount - 110 rubles. However, the remedy is often involved in various promotions, so sometimes “Intensive help” comes as a gift.
- Packaging. A very small bottle (4.5 g) can easily fit in your pocket and any bag.
- Consumption. Despite its modest size, balm is consumed economically.
- Lack of taste and smell. Suitable for children and the stronger sex.
Jasmine + Vitamin E
Another brand product is Avon moisturizing lip balm with jasmine and vitamin E. The product will provide long-lasting hydration, make lips smooth and soft.
Most customers positively evaluate this product. Balm cares and nourishes delicate skin. The special texture is applied easily, 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
To make a trip to the sweet kingdom offers us the Russian brand Faberlic. “Caramel Pralines”, “Lemon Montpensier”, “Raspberry and Chocolate” - all these are the names of lip balms, which, however, did not impress 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, vitamins E and F are present in the composition, which are responsible for softening and restoring the skin.
Advantages:
- original form;
- delicate melting texture;
- price;
- the effect of wet lips.
The lip balm “Faberlic” with constant use smoothes and nourishes the skin, moisturizes well and lasts for a long time on the lips.
Buyers note the classic aroma and taste of lipstick, which for someone will become a significant drawback.
Lose weight!
Moisturizing lip balm and weight loss - Faberlic experts believe that these two things can be related to each other. As evidence, a new Lipbalm Eat Less product (“Lose Weight”) has appeared in the brand’s collection.
According to one Italian laboratory, after applying the balm, 70% of the fair sex noted a decrease in appetite. The main ingredient is the prickly pear cactus, whose flower extract can satisfy the hunger. You just apply the balm on the lips, the active substance reduces appetite, and weight begins to decrease.
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);
- Japanese camellia oil (antioxidant properties);
- citric acid (soothing and antiseptic effect).
Reviews
A placebo effect, a successful marketing move, or the real effect of prickly pear cactus extract? Buyers also could not come to a consensus on the claimed effect of losing weight. Some argue that appetite is really reduced, while others do not notice it. But it is unlikely that anyone will argue about the excellent moisturizing and caring properties of the Faberlic product.
Slimming balm from the Russian manufacturer did not become a sensation in the cosmetic world, because a similar tool was released in the line of one of the Korean brands. Faberlik, however, found its customers because of the low price (150-200 rubles). Balm nourishes the lips and provides the necessary care, but nevertheless we question the decrease in appetite.
Which is better?
It is not so easy to buy a moisturizing lip balm. We advise you to choose one of the Belweder luxury collection products.
Specialists of the brand 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. The average price of a Belweder product is 150-200 rubles.
