Lakme Lip Love Lip Care Review, Swatches, Price & Buy Online India:Tangerine, Raspberry & Blackcurrant
If there is one thing I’m sure we girls love hoarding is a lip balm. At any given time, I can be found with atleast 2-3 balms, be it in my handbag, dresser or even the bedside table. My lips remain extremely dry hence a heavy duty hydrating balm has always been a necessity be it in summers or winters. With the trend of matte lips being on an all time high, I’ve been on the hunt for some lightweight balms that moisturizes my lips but will not alter the finish of my matte lipsticks. One such product is the Lakme Lip Love Lip Care Lip Balm which were recently launched in 3 new shades- Raspberry, Tangerine & Blackcurrant. Read on for the detailed review and swatches.

Packaging
The Lakme Lip Love Lip Care balms come in a peppy color coded packaging with a transparent cap. It has a retractable packaging and it’s easy to identify a particular flavour or color incase you own more than one of these. The shade names are mentioned on the bottom of the balm and all the necessary details are available on the outer packaging. Even though the cap shuts tightly, it still feels a little flimsy to me. I’ve carried the Lakme lip balms a few times with me and luckily the cap hasn’t come off so it is definitely travel friendly.
Texture
Lakme Lip Love Lip Care has a creamy and moisturizing texture. It has a dual core formula with a creamy inner core which adds a soft shine and gloss to the lips. Its somewhat similar to the eos Lip Balms in texture and does not feel too heavy. I’ve been using it since the past few weeks and it has helped keep my lips in good condition. I’m not sure how well it might work in winters but for now I’m pretty satisfied. Everytime I apply it under a lipstick, I make sure I dab it first with a tissue so that the finish isn’t altered.
Pigmentation & Staying Power
The Lakme Lip LoveLip Balms do not have the best pigmentation or color pay off. Considering these are tinted lip balms, I was expecting something like the Maybelline Baby Lips. However, this just provides a sheer wash of color. Considering the price and packaging, I can tell these are aimed at young school and college girls and hence the soft color pay off. Its stays put for around 3 hours after which it requires a touch up.
Lakme Lip Love Lip Care Tangerine, Raspberry & Blackcurrant Swatches & Review
Lakme Lip Love Lip Balm Tangerine Review: This smells like orange candy and provides a very sheer wash of color. Good for everyday wear and I usually apply it under my coral lipsticks.
Lakme Lip Love Lip Care Raspberry Review: One of my favorites from the range. It has a sweet fragrance which dissipates after some time. Provides a rosy tint to the lips perfect for college girls.
Lakme Lip Love Lip Care Lip Balm Blackcurrant Review: I expected this to be purple on the lips since the bullet is so dark. However, it adds a slightly grey tint to my lips. Not a fan.

HBM Rating
HBM Recommendation: The new Lakme Lip Love Lip Care Balms have a smooth and moisturizing texture. They are great for dry lips and can also be used underneath lipsticks. These are perfect for young girls as the color pay off is sheer and are pretty affordable. However, if you are looking for a good pigmentation then this tinted lip balm will disappoint you.
