Con's:
1)Tin packaging is unhygienic.I don't really like dipping fingers.
2)SPF content could have been higher.Almond oil has SPF 8.
Directions for use:
Apply lip balm on lips whenever required.
Final Verdict:
I picked these lip balms from Flipkart,the moment it was launched.I always love a good lip balm.I loved the previous two variants-Raspberry Rose and Caramel Rose too.These two are no exception either,full marks in the moisturisation department.I normally prefer my lip balms to be non-tinted,all nivea lip butters are non-tinted.So you can use it with matte lipsticks as well.Though the tin packaging is cute,one thing I never like is dipping my fingers.Other than that I would have liked if the SPF content was higher to provide a little sun protection and prevent lip pigmentation.Apart from these no major con's.Its still good value for money!
