Street Wear Color Rich Smoothies Lip Balm Review (Plum Pluck)

To give your lips a protective layer of moisture and a dash of color, Lip Balms are like gift of fortune. Whatever be the weather outside, one or the other flavour/color of lip balms perfectly fulfills your desire of getting plump lips.

Street Wear, one of the premium makeup brand,  recently launched range of Color Rich Smoothies Lip Balms in four trendy colors pink, peach, plum and coral. I also got one of the delicious lip balm to try in Plum Pluck shade. And here is how I liked it...

Street Wear Color Rich Smoothies Lip Balm comes in a color-sync packaging of cardboard sheet that simply lets you quickly identify the shade without checking the shade name on the product (like Plum Pluck shade has got plum color on outer packaging as well as the lip balm stick). The product details are printed overleaf for reference. The lip balm stick in black color with girly print looks really feminine.

The lip balm stick is in plum color as expected from the shade name Plum Pluck, but the swatches don't really give plum color.

The lip balm hardly gives actual plum color to lips, rather its a mild trace of color after multiple swipes. It may be a thumbs down for those longing for a deep color-payoff, but to me moisturization is most sought-after quality in a lip balm.

The brand has very thoughtfully created the lip balm range enriched with Vitamin E and Shea Butter to get rid of chapped lips. Though the moisturization effect of lipbalm fades after few hours and requires retouching, but it doesn't trouble me.
The lip balm stick with its smooth finish is easy to glide and extends instant glossy lips. The dry lips gets immediate moisture upon application. When applied, I can smell sweet & refreshing mint scent and cooling sensation on lips that linger on for few minutes and gives me a feel like chewing a gum. I am actually liking this flavoured essence in the lip balm. Last but not the least, the lip balms also boasts of containing SPF 10 to protect your lips against sun damage.

I would recommend Street Wear smoothie lip balms to all those females who feel that the use of lipsticks everyday is taxing and they need a break from the routine. Priced at Rs 150 each for 4.2 gm (but currently being sold at Rs 135 under introductory offer), these are surely good variants to try out.

My Candy-licious love with Maybelline Baby Lips Candy Wow (Mixed Berry)

In my recent post I expressed my love for Maybelline Baby Lips Spiced Up. And reading this post, you will get to know why am I obsessed with my most favoured brand. An exciting addition in my Baby Lips collection is one of the flavour of newly launched Candy Wow lip balms i.e. Mixed Berry. The name itself is so 'wow'.

The first thing that fascinated me about Candy Wow is its candy colored, tall n sleek body ;) The Candy Wow lip balms are so thoughtfully color-coordinated with its internal balm stick that there is no chance getting confused. The brand has come a step ahead to refine the design of the product and has come up with easily handle-able pen-like packaging that is specifically called as 'Crayon'. Its retractable outer body is so comfy to rotate to bring the lip balm stick out. Unlike their previous versions of baby lips, the proportion of retractable part is significantly increased for a better grip, this is why I referred it as easily handle-able. One thing that the packaging lacks in is the product details. There is no information about the lip balm on the pack other than its variant name.

I appreciate the rounded shade of lip balm stick over the flattened one for better coverage every time. The product is deeply moist and enriched with goodness of Vitamin E. So every time you glide it on your lips, the lively suppleness is spread for better feel. 

Though many of us hunt for lip balms only in winter season, but the dash of color given by this range makes it desirable all the year long to adorn soft, shiny lips. As you glide the lip balm once on your lips, the low intensity of the color reflects instantly. Its the matter of personal choice how how you want it to intensify. But remember, the color will settle on specific deepness after few strokes and won't get deeper afterwards.

The fruity scent of the lip balm is mild and sweet that fades away in some time. Its a plus for me actually because I don't like strong fragrant lipcare product too much. 

The Candy Wow range is being marketed in five variants which are Raspberry, Mixed Berry, Orange, Cherry and Peach. All of these are inspired from delicious candy flavours and are priced at Rs 275 each for 2 g. Though the packaging looks fat n long, but has lesser quantity to offer than other products Baby Lips range. I don't mind closing my eyes towards this fact because I am so much in love with the product.
Infact, I'm looking forward to buy few more flavours to kiss my dry lips goodbye and get my pouts ready for #WinterKissWithBabyLips.
