No matter how much I love winters, the only irk I have with it is the fact that my skin looses all its moisture and begins to get dry, especially my lips.
My association with lip balms goes back to class 7th when having a clear lipbalm/lip gloss in your school bag meant being "Cool" !! specially the ones which had some flowers/cartoons printed on it and "SuperCool" If it had some fruity fragrance too. I remember crying when my mum refused to buy me one because she felt it was sheer stupidity :p ,, did any one of you used those little green pink blue Japanese Korean lip glosses??
I got the Maybelline Dolly Rose as part of the Violet Bag Haul. I really really liked it and then a few days ago I bought the Strawberry varient of the same lip balm.
Maybelline Strawberry Lip Balm
Maybelline Dolly Rose Lip Balm
Shade :
Shade wise they are 80% similar on my pigmented lips. These lip balms are not meant for healing super dry chapped lips.
Dolly Rose : very faint rosy pink shade , more like a baby pink. On pigmented lips like mine it shows like my own lip shade with a slight tinge of pink. On non-pigmented lips it will look like what it looks on the swatch on my arm.
Strawberry : Strawberry is a tad bit deeper than Dolly Rose in each and every aspect
There is no shimmer in these lip balms,,, Thank You God!!
Texture :
Very buttery, creamy sort of texture which blends super easily, Not hard waxy like lotus ones.
Fragrance :
Mild fruity fragrance, sweet and yet not overpowering.
Moisturizing effect :
I would give it 8/10 on the moisturizing effect, its good but its more for the tint...
I would still recommend The Lotus Herbals Cocoa Lip Balm to those who are suffering from super fry chapped lips.
Packaging :
Very cute, nice design and absolutely travel friendly.
Price : 110 INR , decent for the quality they possess.

Recommendation : Yes please, these are cute and works well,, wat else do you want?? ;)
Thanks
