Fab India Plum Passion (Lip Butter)

These days everyone seems to be riding natural and pure bandwagon. Fabindia which used to be famous for its chic kurtas and hand-woven carpets durries etc also have launched a natural line of skin care and beauty products.

Last week I went to shop for some home accessories I came across this counter and thought to try out the line. I am a sceptic as far as beauty products are concerned because I have a sensitive skin so generally scared to use new products on my skin. But still I wanted to try the range. I picked this cute little pot of lip balm.
Price: Rs 75 for 10g
Key ingredients: Wheatgerm oil, Cocoa Butter, Sesame Oil, Tocophenyl Acetate, Kokum Butter, Olive Butter, Beeswax, Triglyceride, Veg Sequolin, Permitted preservative, Fragrance
What I liked about it

• Little pot looks very cute, deep plum color looks so appealing. There were three – four variants available but I picked plum flavoured one.
• Its price is economical looking at some of the natural ingredients present in it.

What I don’t like about it

• It is very thick so if you are using it, you have to takeout a good amount and make a little more effort for it.
• The feel is nice enough on your lips and gives a slight sheen, not very pigmented.
• Smells fruity, not natural it smells like the erasers which we used when we were kids.
• After an hour or so my lips felt drier than they were before applying it, so had to reapply after a while otherwise they felt chapped again.
• Though it is non sticky, but it does not spread that smoothly as it appears in the pic.

Verdict : Though Fabindia is known for its natural products but I would stick to buying their kurta and other knick knacks ,no more skin care products from them unless I read rave reviews about the product. I will give it a rating of 2/5.
