My experience with Biotique Bio Almond Lip Balm

Packaging - 

The product comes in a tube packaging with a cap. The packaging is of orange and white color that contains necessary details including ingredients and how to use it. The tube is of plastic so it’s easy to use and it is even light and travel-friendly. The tube has a cap and opening it the products comes out when you squeeze the tube. The packaging is pretty good and there are no negative points for it.

Color and texture - 

The balm is colorless, it is clear and is not too runny but also isn’t sticky. It has a good consistency and is somewhat like gel. However, when you apply it, it is easily and nicely absorbed by lips in minutes and keeps it moisturized for hours.

Fragrance - 

The balm is not extremely fragrant. It has a sweet pleasant fragrance which goes when it is absorbed. Thus, it is not irritating and not too harsh. It has a little fragrance of almond oil and natural ingredients like honey.

Experience -

I use this lip balm every day after bathing and before going to bed. I really like and prefer this lipstick. It has hydrated my lips well and lasts long for 2-3 hours. It cured my dry and chapping of lips. I used this under lipstick too and it kept my lips hydrated throughout. Its been a month to this and it’s still not over yet. It is extremely good for school or college going girls. It is extremely affordable and good.
