I am crazy lip balm lady and I buy them very frequently. I don't finish the existing ones but new ones just keep coming :D
Today I am going to review the VLCC honey lip balm.
I picked up this product mainly because of its looks and price. I prefer chap sticks which we can twist up easily than the tubs. Why? Chap sticks are much easier to use and you don't have to clean your greasy hands after application of the lip balm.

Price: 49/- for 4 grams

What the product claims:

• The moisture rich formula soothes and conditions lips to keep them soft and supple.
• SPF 15 protects from harmful effects of sun.
• Light non greasy formula, provides long lasting moisture leaving the lips supple and hydrated.

Now I agree with the first point because even normal Vaseline does the same job it keeps my lips soft and supple. SPF 15 is a good thing. However I don't know how to test if it really protects my lips from harmful effects of sun.

I totally disagree with the 3rd point. It is damn greasy. When I used it the first time I felt a block of petroleum jelly is melting on my lips. Seriously it is super greasy. Lip balms are supposed to be smooth and you should get nice feeling with just one swipe across your lips. When I glided it over my lips I felt I am rubbing my lips with granular particles.

It doesn't smell like honey but it smells like caramel. Still the smell reminds of sweet so I don't have a problem with the smell. It is a non tinted chap stick and I like non tinted lip balms because I think these are better for daily use. I had to reapply the balm with in 1 hour of application. I cant leave my work place every few minutes just to apply lip balm.

Pros:

Less expensive.

Travel friendly.

Nice smell.

SPF 15.

Keeps lips soft and supple

Non tinted.

Cons:

Bad staying power.

Texture was bad.

Super greasy.

Overall verdict:

I never found a chap stick at this low cost. If you are a budget freak go for it, you will not complain. I personally like VLCC lip balm tubs.
