Hey there beauties,


Hope you all are doing great. My lips tend to get dry and chapped often. Therefore using a good lip balm is a must for me through out the year. Luckily last week I got the chance to try this "Raspberry Sorbet Glossy Lip Balm" by Essence Cosmetics. Lets see what I have to say about this little glossy balm after trying and using it regularly for many days.

This lip balm comes in a mini squeezable tube like packaging. It is small enough to fit your wallet, clutch or hand bag. The texture of this glossy balm is creamy and smooth. Now what I like about this product is that it doesn't feel tacky or sticky at all. It provides decent hydration to the lips and makes your lips feel soft and supple like a lip balm and provides a nice sheen to the lips like a gloss.

This particular shade "Raspberry Sorbet" is not very pigmented. Its a sheer light pink shade. When applied on lips, it appears as a very sheer pale pink shade. It has some fine shimmer particles in it which aren't much visible when applied on lips. It actually tastes sweet and yum. To my surprise, the staying power of this lip balm is pretty decent too. It lasted on my lips for about 2-3 hours which is pretty great for a gloss or a lip balm. Even after its glossiness faded away, my lips felt soft and smooth and tasted sweet.

Overall, its a decent combination of a lip balm and lip gloss. This isn't the most moisturizing balm ever, but still provides enough hydration and makes the lips feel soft and supple for few hours. It tastes yum too. For the price, its really good and after trying this one am definitely gonna pick more flavors soon.
