Starting of with the New Nivea Lip Butters (Image1) Honestly, these lip butters are one such that I've been wanting in a really, really long time even though I wasn't a really huge fan of lip-moisturizers. Also, I'm not a very huge gloss addict and thus, these lip butters serve me the best. Nivea lip butters come in three flavors: Caramel Cream, Raspberry Rose et Vanilla and Macadamia Kiss. Unfortunately, the vanilla and macadamia is not yet available in India. Moving on, when I made a recent visit to a beauty kiosk, I jumped with joy deep inside my heart when I found these yummies. What really attracted me the most, is the packaging. It was all fancy-like to me. Being more of a chocolate, cocoa butter, vanilla fan; I personally love the caramel cream out of the two. The raspberry rose, none the less has an intoxicating fragrance. They are enriched in shea butter and almond oil. These lip butters promise to be long lasting, but I hate it when my lips turn dry, so need to re-apply every 2 to 3 hours.
 
Pros:
Its not glossy, and hence works beautifully as a lip moisturizer.
Leaves soft, nourished lips.
Amazing, yummy aroma.
Adorable packaging.
Sleek, and so easily fits in your wallet too!
Pocket Friendly 


Cons:
Needs your finger to nourish your lips. ( Unless, you pout-kiss through the balm like me :D )
Requires you to retouch every 2 hours.
Overall a great product, quality and service wise 


Next:-
Vaseline's Lip Therapy. Vaseline is one such that is probably one of the oldest and the most trusted skin care brands of all. This one has 4 flavor options for you i.e Original, Aloe Vera, Rose and Cocoa Butter and all of them are available here.  By now I'm sure you'll would have known which one I must have chosen and why :)


Vaseline's Cocoa Butter Lip Therapy


Pros:
Lovely Fragrance.
Good at moisturizing.
Very, very pocket friendly.
Good Quantity.


Cons:
Quite a poor, delicate packaging. Well, agreed it's a great deal for the price for such well-known brand. But the top cover is too delicate. It may break through really fast, leaving you with no cap for you lip balm, which may prove to be a complete waste later.
Overall a excellent product for the price :)


Lastly:-
We all love The Body Shop don't we ? The Body Shop's Born Lippy has continued through the ages and has been a magical success. When I first bought this I found it way too glossy for me to use. And honestly, I still do. But I use it as an after-lipstick tint for the final finish.

Pros:
Nice strawberry taste.
Decent tint of color.
Shiny lips on-the-go.

Cons:
Hair sticks too quick because of it being way too glossy.
Not long lasting.
After a while, it dries out the lips even more.
Overall a perfect package for gloss lovers :)
