I am a great Cocoa butter lover and hence I always pick the products which has the "Coco Butter" ingredient in it, no matter how it works, I don't even read reviews before getting one.

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
Tub, Cap and lid
To guess the Size (In my palm)
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!

The Lip butter in my hand
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
- Rich buttery texture which glides onto lips smoothly
- A very little amount is enough for every application, hence lasts longer.
- 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.
- It make lips soft, supple, smooth and somewhat cures my fine lip wrinkles.
- Even after budging due to food intake, my lips feel soft. It never leaves dryness at all.
- Easily available everywhere!! It's Himalaya herbals :P
- The rich fragrance of Cocoa butter.. yummy :P
- A great pick for dry lips in all the seasons.
CONS
- My tub packaging :( (Would be better if it comes in tube)
- 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.
