Lip balm was the first beauty product I ever owed. I am pretty sure this holds true for many of you ladies out there too. Needless to say, I totally heart them and hoard them like crazy. So when Island Kiss team asked me if I would like to try out their lip balms, I couldn’t say no. Here are my thoughts on them:

One look at them and I was instantly reminded about the packaging of The Balm cosmetics. Island Kiss is a new Indian brand based in Goa. They have introduced 3 lip moisturizers which are 100% organic and 100% pure, with an impressive ingredients list. More information here: myislandkiss.com

All of them came packed in super pretty boxes which have every bit of information written on them. The boxes even had small shells in them. I am glad that the lip moisturizers have a slanted tip applicator because that makes application easy. Since these are oil-based, they are incredibly hydrating. I need to use very less quantity for my lips. They even have a weak sweet taste. They work like a charm to smoothen lips when used 10 minutes before application of lip stain and matte lipsticks. I squeeze out a tiny amount of quantity and blot before applying lipstick.

I have been using ‘Puerto Berry Blush’ variant a lot which has a lovely berry red tint. It’s one tinted lip moisturizer that packs a punch! After I have re-applied it 2-3 times, it stains my lips and the stain stays for long. Even longer than Benefit Benetint stain! Me likey! I didn’t try it as a blush because of the texture being too emollient. I am pretty sure I will be finishing this soon! If you are a fan of subtle berry red shades, you must give this a try.

My mom has been using the ‘Alma Vanilla and Inges Lavendar’variant (transparent on lips) since more than a week on her forever parched lips and she has been loving it.

‘Cherry Blossom Flares’is the only variant I wouldn’t go out wearing somewhere since the milky shade is a mismatch on my lips. So I use it in my night-time routine.

All of these colorful lip balms also have SPF 15! Brownie points!
