Experience with this product:
Lips balms are my all time favorites, whether it is a summer or a hard drying winter. I dislike applying a moisturizer in sweaty summers and dislike using any drying face washes in winters but give me a lip balm, whether light or thick one, just with any of my favorite flavour, I will pick it up like a child picking a chocolate. Okay now let us talk about this product. I badly wanted a lip balm this summer, which can moisturize my lips in a lighter way, still with good staying power, less tint and of course with a good fragrance [Skip the taste please, I love tasty lip balms but my badness I eat them up within seconds] :P When I checked my beauty case for such a lip balm, I found nothing but this! Yes, this is a new come in my beauty case. Some lip butters are greasy or waxy or some others not at all moisturize lips enough, I just wanted the perfect 'light one' for summer and this took my heart.
     This is a smooth, soft and buttery lip butter. It looks baby pink in colour from the tub but when we take it out in our finger, it goes semi transparent with a vera light pinkish tint. [I guess that wouldn't show up on any pigmented lips. It could just give that pink tint in pale even lips, that too not much] It moisturizers lips well, instantly heals the dryness and make my lips look glossy and healthy. The moisturizing effect stays good for 3+ hours without food/water intake and after that you need to reapply. Even after getting faded, my lips doesn't experience any dryness or irritation, the whole day. The only problem with this lip butter is that you cannot top this up with your lippy as it is a bit oily and may lead to bleeding of your lipstick. But that is not a problem for me actually. My hunt for a yummy smelling, light and moisturizing summer lip balm stops here, I am very eagerly waiting to try out the other flavors. Overall, this is a great buy for the price, worth and of course the divine strawberry smell!


PROS

• Yummy strawberry smell! This lip butter can escape from no 'strawberry lover'
• Moisturizes and nourishes lips instantly
• Doesn't feel greasy, waxy or heavy on lips. It goes light
• Make lips glossy and beautiful soon after the application
• Shows minimal tint on lips that would be many ladies preference
•  Staying power is decent. It stays for 2-3 for sure without any food/water intake
• Even after getting faded, it does not leave lips completely dry
• Best for everyday use in summers
• The price is affordable
• Easily available in leading online shopping sites 
• Last but not the least, it has no taste and thats the secret of the staying power actually :)

Cons

• Not suitable to top your lipsticks as it tends to bleed
• We are expecting this butter in tubes, tub is not that hygenic
• Some might find the texture a bit oily

Overall Rating: 4/5


Recommendation: Sure, this is going to be your best summer lip butter and listen strawberry lovers.. Get this without another word.


Would I Repurchase?: Definitely, but I am planing to try the other flavors :)

My Views and Ratings

The Packaging

The lip butter comes in a small transparent tub with a green top cap and inner white lid. "Oh tub, you are not so hygienic" , this I what I felt but I just convinced myself as it is sturdily packed with an inner lid to prevent some mess. It would be so much better if this product comes in tube instead of tub. The cap of the tub is firm and hence the pack becomes travel friendly too. A perfect small and cute tub for everyday use and travel use too (Though I expect tube packing)

Rating: 3.5/5

Colour, Consistency and Fragrance

The lip butter is very rich, smooth, thick and has a real buttery texture. It is transparent and shows no tint, so colorless lip balms/butter lovers will enjoy it. Even though the consistency is pretty thick, it is very easy to take it out and apply over your lips. It glides smoothly and spreads well without any trouble. To say about the fragrance in single word, It's my "Cocoa Butter" Yes! lovely Cocoa butter flavor and fragrance it has! I love smelling it all the time as it is very tempting. No one can find anything bad in it's fragrance even sensitive noses and hence I would name this as one of the best smelling lip butter!

Rating: 5/5

How it Works On Me

Well..I am using this product for past few days. I do apply it over my lips once in the morning and once at night. This product budges a little while food/drink intake but still it doesn't leave my lips dry or chapped. The lip butter is quite thick but still glides onto my lips smoothly with a fresh cocoa butter fragrance. The fragrance lasts for a decent time and the lip butter stays all day long if you have normal lips. It keep my lips soft, supple all day long with a single application in the morning, I reapply once at night before going to bed. You should apply this twice a day if you have extremely chapped lips and it's not the one which you can use it under your lipstick, because it makes your lipstick bleed due to its thickness. As this made my lips soft and supple, I prefer to use this product in all the seasons, especially in winters. This is going to my winter HG list!! :)

Rating: 4.5/5 (-0.5 for making my lipstick bleed)

PROS

1. Rich buttery texture which glides onto lips smoothly
2. A very little amount is enough for every application, hence lasts longer.
3. Free from petroleum jelly, silicon, artificial colours & preservatives. It is made of natural ingredients and hence, a great boon to all who hate waxy petroleum balms on their lips.
4. It make lips soft, supple, smooth and somewhat cures my fine lip wrinkles. 
5. Even after budging due to food intake, my lips feel soft. It never leaves dryness at all.
6. Easily available everywhere!! It's Himalaya herbals :P 
7. The rich fragrance of Cocoa butter.. yummy :P 
8. A great pick for dry lips in all the seasons. 

 CONS

1. My tub packaging :( (Would be better if it comes in tube) 
2. Not suitable to use along with your lipstick, it does bleeds (This can't be taken as a con for the worthy other benefits of this lip butter though)

My Recommendation: Do you have dry or Chapped lips? Are you a Cocoa Butter lover? Crazy about yummy smelling and colourless lip butters? Need a great winter nourishing product for lips?  Go ahead! It's just another awesome product from Himalaya herbals!

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

Will I Repurchase?: No guess! It's pretty sure, I will. :) No other product I have ever used cured my chapped lips like this one does.

Product sent by PR for consideration. But all my opinions remain honest.
