CLARINS MOISTURE REPLENISHING LIP BALM: REVIEW

Do you have extremely dry lips that chaps and cracks without any apparent reason?? Does your lip seem to drink up all the lip balms and still not remain soft and smooth??  Well all your prayers are going to be answered.. you don’t have to look farther than this miracle product. First let me tell you a bit about my lips.  They are dry and cracked and peeling all the time. Yes irrespective of whether it is cold or hot my lips remain as dry as the Sahara desert. I have tried many lip balms and although they have given me temporary relief none of them really solved my problem. I have previously used Clarins products like their white plus whitening moisture day emulsion and the white plus clear softening peeling gentle renewing lotion. ( reviews coming soon). Since I trust this brand I thought to give their lip balm a try.

WHAT THE PRODUCT CLAIMS
Reparative balm works deep within the skin's surface to help heal dry, chapped, weather-roughened lips. Soothes the senses with aromatic plant essences. Hydration so pure and refreshing, parched lips drink in its benefits. Suitable for all climates.

INGREDIENTS
Essential Rose Wax : comforts and protects. Ceramide 3 : hydrates and repairs. Shea Butter : anti-free radical and soothing action. Natural Rice oil extract : soothes and nourishes. Maxi Lip complex ® : encourages the natural Hyaluronic acid and collagen.


MY EXPERIENCE
I have only one word to describe it.. LOVE.. This is an amazing product.. I got this in while I was traveling. The hot humid weather of Chennai had made my lips much worse. They were peeling and I have this irresistible urge to peel the dry skin off. By the way never do this, it bleeds and u get black marks on the lips. Well I never take my own advise so my lips were in a very bad condition. I got this lip balm and immediately applied it. Within 10 mnts my bleeding lips were smooth and soft. They were feeling plumper and the lines were also reduced. I was ecstatic. This is the most amazing lip product I ever used. Totally worth the high price. It has a very light pink color. But comes like clear gel on the lips. Check out pic below for swatches. It has a light pleasant fragrance ( I am very bad at describing smells). And it stays on your lips for at least 4 hrs if you do not eat or drink. And even after the blam fades away the lips remain soft for another 1 hr. This is the case of my extremely dry lips. So if you have normal lips the softness might last for more time. My only complaint is that if I apply too much then my lips become very sticky. Well you might say then why don’t you just stop applying too much. But I like doing it because I feel thus my lips are getting that extra ounce of nourishment J. Any ways I totally recommend it. You should definitely try this out if you have problem lips. 

Price: Around thousand Rs. Don’t remember excactly.
