Lotus Herbals Lip Therapy Fresh Mint Review - A Good Enough Chapstick?

Lotus Herbals Lip Therapy Fresh Mint Review

I had previously tried the Lotus Herbals Lip Therapy Vanilla and I was very satisfied with it. After that got over and as winters have approached, I decided to give the fresh mint variant a try. So, I went ahead and bought it and have been loving it every since then! So, let me tell you more in my Lotus Herbals Lip Therapy Fresh Mint Review...

My Take On Lotus Herbals Lip Therapy Fresh Mint-

I purchased this in my Khoobsurati.com Haul and have been loving it ever since then! I had also tried the Vanilla lip therapy from lotus herbals and it lived up beyond my expectations. It comes in a normal, slightly yellowish packaging, which has nothing that attractive about it. The mint leaves printed on the packaging actually add a dash of colour to the boring packaging. This lip moisturizer has a retractable packaging. The Lotus herbals lip moisturiser smells slightly leafy and has a very subtle hint of mint to it. Some might like the fragrance while some might not. I remain neutral to the fragrance. This is not a tinted lip balm and is colourless, so do not expect any coverage from this.

PROS-

1) Availability
2) Affordable
3) Quantity
4) Travel-friendly
5) Moisturizes the lips for 4 hours, when a thick layer of Lotus herbals lip therapy is used
6) Heals the lips
7) An amazing chapstick for those with normal to dry lips
8) Adds a subtle gloss to the lips
9) Makes the lips pinker and softer
10) Once a very thick layer is applied, this lasts for 4 hours otherwise for a good 2 hours
11) Lovely shelf life of 3 years
12) Contains ingredients like shea butter and kokum butter, which are very good for controlling dryness

CONS-

1) The packaging attracts dirt
2) The packaging is slightly boring
3) Some might not like the subtle leafy and minty fragrance
4) Very, very dry lips might need something more healing and more soothing during winters
5) Men might not like the subtle gloss-effect this lip therapy adds
6) I have noticed that this particular variant gets very slightly hardened during winter (Don't worry, even after that, once it touches your lips, it melts like a dream)

Final Verdict- For me, this lip balm is a winner. It actually does what it claims and more. It is very affordable and lasts for a long time. The effect this lip-balm gives is amazing and I would keep on repurchasing this and maybelline baby lips again and again. A thumbs up to lotus herbals from my side for creating this amazing little lip balm!

Rating- 4.75/5
