Final Verdict:
Some of the body shop(TBS) products are decent. These lip balms are good too. These are pretty similar to Nivea Lip Butter,which I have reviewed here except that it is cheaper and easily available than TBS. I do not prefer lipsticks, so I like mildly tinted ones. It is suitable for day wear with perfect moisturiser and tint,not too heavy. Except for the price tag, no other issues.
