Maybelline Watershine lipsticks are the best moisturising Lipsticks ever...
I got this lipstick sometime back in 2011 when I went around looking for everyday wear pink lipstick...I spotted watershine range I guess it had around 8 to 10 shades....
When i saw this lippy it was a bright pink..thought it would be too flashy...
OMG i was so wrong it was sheer pretty pink ..exactly what i wanted :)

price Rs:230Packaging mirror like case




see how bright the lippy looks

Swatches
Single Swipe 4 swipes

Finally my LOTD...2 swipes :D

Pros:
prettiest everyday pink
very moisturising
sheer lipstick
Shiny and no shimmers
creamy, soft and buttery
dont need lipbalm underneath

Cons:
staying power is just 1hr...never mind i can reapply again and again :)

rating : 4/5

Biotique Bio Aloe Vera Lipbalm

I got this Biotique Aloevera Lipbalm during one of my grocery shopping...I guess i got this last year and started using recently...The main thing that attracted me was SPF 30....I was like wow...not even my moisturiser has SPF30.. grabbed it immediately.this comes in the regular green tub packaging which most of us find unattractive...

Price : Rs.99 for 16g


How to use and product claims


Contains :(sry for the pathetic image..effects of using phone camera)



Pros

Nothing Absolutely...Please dont ever buy this...did just nothing expect making my lips crack
Great for using for dry knuckles 


Can you see the white cast in the not so clear swatch image below ?

Cons:
Pathetic plastic smell
leaves a white cast after application
SPF 30 .. i dont believe this ...
unhygienic tub packing...
Wasted Rs.100 ...could have earned my Bournville

Please suggest me a good lip balm for my chapped lips :(

Love, 
Varshini
