In Detail Forest Essentials Luscious Lip Balm Sweet Narangi Juice Review and My Experience
I will be honest and admit that one of the reasons I was attracted towards this product was its luxurious packaging. Though we always fuss about lip balms in tin/mini-tub containers, we also cannot resist cute little things such as this one. Plus the golden rim with engraved Forest Essential made me want to pick it. 😀 Apart from the packaging, I also love citrus fragrance in general and that can be another side reason why I picked this one. It has a little round mirror on the inside of the lip which makes it easy to apply.
The consistency of the lip balm is quite light as compared to other lip balms in the market. It doesn’t leave a specific layer on my lips. It definitely hydrates the lips but doesn’t give me any oily or greasy feel on my lips. I personally find it perfect to use under certain lipsticks. It also has this orange-citrusy fragrance, well quite faint though.
How I Use it
1. I apply it on my lips before applying lipsticks
2. Use it daily in the morning as a regular Lip Balm
3. Use it at night before going to sleep
I have been using the product for a long time now, and almost hit the pan. This makes my lips soft and supple. Heals moderately dry lips however, I would like to mention here that it does not work so great on chapped lips. Though if you scrub lightly chapped lips and apply it over, it might work.
Overall I feel this is a lovely lip balm, a great option for the ladies who prefer organic ingredients in their skin care. For everyday use, I find this is really good however if you are looking for something to heal severely dry and chapped lips, you might need something extra. I did read some people mentioning that they were expecting this to lighten the lip pigmentation, but I am not sure if its really made like that. I mean even if you’re looking for citrus to provide lightening effect on the lips, its not really logical with this product since it has only 0.1 % extract of citrus.
