My experience with Skincafe Lip Care:
- Skincafe Choco Chip Cookies Lip Scrub: Skincafe Choco Chip Cookies Lip Scrub has an intoxicating cocoa secnt which immediately makes me feel hungry for a choco chip cookie. The fragrance is so tempting that I ccouldnt resist licking my lips :D. I just need a tiny-miny bit of the product to exfoliate my lips. It contains natural cocoa beads so I just gently rub it over the lips to buff out dead skin. I scrub my lips for around a minute and then wash with normal water. Cant tell you how soft, smooth and supple my lips feels. I haven’t used any lip scrub before this and I love the way it made my lips feel
PS: Don’t be harsh with it on your lips as the lip skin is super- sensitive and will hurt.
- Skincafe GingerWaterMelon Sorbet: Skincafe GingerWaterMelon Sorbet is actually a lip balm. It appears peachy pink in the jar but goes absolutely colorless on lips. After scrubbing my lips do feel moisturized but for that added nourishment I apply a thin layer of this Skincafe Ginger Watermelon Sorbet which is an amazing lip balm. The balm has a very light balmy texture and no waxy feel. It melts instantly with the body heat and coats my lips with its intensely nourishing formula. The lip balm has a slightly sober gingery scent which feels quite nice and isn’t as intense and strong like the usual ginger infused products. It gives slightest shine to the lips which goes away in few hours but the nourishment lasts whole day. Maybe in severe winters I would have to reapply during the day but I don’t feel the need in summers. Love It!
- SkinCafe Red Velvet Cake Lip Tint Balm: SkinCafe Red Velvet Cake Lip Tint Balm is a light pink tinted lip balm but on my pigmented lips it goes clear, if you have unpigmented lips you might be able to see the light pinkish tint of the lip balm on you. The texture is quite similar to the lip balm, buttery smooth and feels light on lips. Coming to the best part -“Fragrance”, this lip balm has a faint sweet scent and I see Red Velvet cakes rolling in my head every time I smell it. It can be used over a matte pink lipstick to give that slight glossy shine to the lips and still enjoy the color of the lipstick. Matte lipstick formulas tend to dry out the lips and make them look dead overtime but with this tinted lip balm you can save your lips.
Recommendation: SkinCafe Lip Care products are organic handcrafted products or I can say treats for the lips. They are made of only natural, pure and high quality ingredients. The products comes packed in cutesy hars secured by a sturdy but beautiful cardboard box ( which I am definitely keeping with me). The best thing about this lip care products is their beautiful texture which is so creamy and buttery, and their delicious fragrance which makes it a little hard to resist licking lips especially that lip scrub.
They are indeed in the pricier side but if I see the ingredients list I can easily say that they are totally worth it because they are made from natural butters and absolutely no harmful chemicals and fillers. The only con would be that I got finish them up soon as they last only 3 months but thats because they are handmade and preservative free.
If you want to try just one product from the brand I would suggest go with the Lip Scrub to get a feel of the product ( and I am sure you will order others soon!). Highly Recommended!
