Product Description
Natural goodness from raw ingredients like black tea leaves, cinnamon bark, green tea leaves, coffee beans, cacao powder and vanilla beans in sweet almond oil are combined with skin loving emollients like coconut oils, cocoa butter and mango butter to nourish and protect your lips against the elements.
With the proliferation of local hand-crafted brands recently, it was a natural choice for me to pick up one of the lip balms from Balm Kitchen, especially with its pocket-friendly prices. It was an Instagram post by a friend that triggered my purchase as the flavours seem to be screaming at me. The flavours were limited when it was first launched so I chose Dark Choccy, which has sweet almond oil infused with raw cacao powder. Months down the road, they have added several delicious flavours like Green Tea and Very Vanilla. You can check out the range of flavours here.
As with all lip balms, Balm Kitchen Dark Choccy Kissable Lip Balm is contained in a twist and turn tube that is handy to be around even in your tiniest bag. Passion is apparent in their products from the self-drawn logo, to the brand sticker on the packaging and to the scribbled numbers ( I guess, it is either a batch number or the manufacturing date ) written below on the lip balm. I was intrigued.
Made with all natural, plant based vegan ingredients, the shelf life of the lip balm is 1 year, as there is no water in it, hence a lesser chance of them going bad.
However, I wasn't overly impressed when I first used it, because the lip balm was stiff and dry and the chocolate scent was almost non-existent. Just a whiff, and thats it. I thought it was kinda odd, for a lip balm not being able to glide properly on my lips. I persisted, believing that local brands can't be that bad. And yes, I finally see results and is loving it.
After 1 ~ 2 weeks of using the Dark Choccy Kissable Lip Balm, the contents softened slightly and now, glides and moisturises my lips pretty well, with a better chocolate scent. Despite being brown in colour, I did not notice any brown tint on my lips after application. Non-greasy and non-sticky, it is perfect in our humid weather but note that it does coat the lips with a moisturising film for nourishment.
For the affordability and its friendly ingredients, I am keen to try out the rest of the lip-smacking flavours next time. I previously bought mine, in a bundle set of a lip balm and a body balm for $14.90. You can get the lip balm separately at $5.90.
