Vaadi Herbals Strawberry Lip Balm - Review & Swatches...!!

Hey friends...Hope you all are doing well❤❤
Winters have started approaching and please don't forget that your skin requires some more pampering in this weather. As lips possess a super soft skin, they always need lots of attention from you.
In the winter season, I want my lips to be hydrated enough at every moment so that I should not have to suffer from dry and chapped lips. This is the reason a lip balm is always found lying near me all the time these days.

Who will not prefer an Herbal product over a Chemical one??
I think 99% of people give priority to herbal products over the chemical ones. If you are using an herbal product, at least you don't have to suffer from the harsh effects of chemicals which may leave some side effects on your skin. 
You must try to use herbal & organic products on your skin as much as possible.
So, let us talk about one such product - Vaadi Herbals Lip Balm.
In winters Lip Balms act as the best friend of your lips and nowadays I am using this Vaadi lip balm on a daily basis.

My take on the product →Vaadi Herbals Strawberry Lip Balm -


Vaadi Herbals Lip Balm - as its name suggests, is an herbal product & is having a flair hydrating properties in it. As this product is enriched with natural ingredients, your lips are going to get a lot of benefits from the lip balm. It is really a good moisturizer at a very affordable price.
The consistency of the product feels like Vaseline petroleum jelly and is of red color. It doesn't make your lips too shiny, this lip balm is more on the matte side.

This lip balm possesses a super duper pleasant smell of strawberry which is the most amazing thing about the product.
Your lips will feel the softness even if the product fades. Its regular use makes the lips smooth and depigmented as it carries almond oil & vitamin E in it.
One more perk of Vaadi Herbals Lip Balm is that it can also be used as a base for the lipstick. 

The one & only most annoying thing about the lip balm is its tub packaging, so always use very clean and dry hands to take the product out.

7) Lip balms with high SPF are always a 'Yeah' for your lips.

Keep in mind that you should never over-exfoliate your lips and should be very gentle while scrubbing your lips as the skin is super soft there.
Moisturisation after exfoliation is a must.



SOOTHING GREEN (Kiwi - Honey Scrub)

• 1 tbsp. Kiwi Pulp

ORANGISH SWEET (Tomato - Honey Scrub)

• 1 tbsp. Honey

Oh! Nowadays I am completely obsessed with tomato red color.

Tomato is a rich source of Vitamin C & its application provides a natural color to lips. The seeds will help with exfoliation of the skin.

Lips are more prone to dehydration as they have no sebaceous (oil) glands, and in this case, honey can take responsibility to give your lips an amazing moisturization.

Squeeze out the juice from the tomato without separating its seeds. Take 1 tbsp. of it and mix with 1 tbsp. of honey. This is the Orangish Sweet scrub for your lips.

FRAGRANT BROWN (Cardamom - Sapodilla(Chikoo) Scrub)

Chikoo is anti- inflammatory and rich in Vitamin A & C. Its use will give your lips a totally refreshing feel. It helps in providing glow and improving skin texture. Its regular use will result in lightening skin discoloration.
Cardamom will help in preventing the skin from potential damages while exfoliating your lips as well.


Take 1 tbsp. of crushed green cardamom seeds and mix them with 1 tbsp. of chikoo pulp. Fragrant Brown scrub for the lips is ready.

DIY Natural Lip Serums

Benefits of Lip Serum -

• Dispensing moisture to lips is the prime work of lip serum.
• Prevents irritation when lips get extremely dry.
• Maintains the health of lips.
• Lip serum makes the lips soft, pink and shiny.
• Never forget to apply the serum on the lips after you exfoliate them.

Application of lip serum two times a day on clean lips can take enough care of your lips.
If someday you run out of time to DIY the lip serum, glycerin is an escape.



JUICY PINK (Watermelon - Honey Serum)

• 1 tbsp. Watermelon Juice
• 1 tbsp. Honey

The super cool summer fruit - watermelon, will help your skin a lot to fight with the harsh effects of sun rays. It will make your lips radiant and will keep them well hydrated. It acts as a natural toner.

Dip a cotton ball into the serum and then apply on your lips.

VELVETY TOUCH(Orange - Honey - Olive Oil Serum)

Orange juice is a beauty enhancer and helps in treating darkness of lips while giving them a radiant glow.

Olive Oil is for extra moisturisation, so people with extra dry lips will find this lip serum super effective for them.

Take out the orange juice. Mix 1 tbsp. of orange juice, 1 tbsp. of honey and 4 drops of olive oil, and Velvety Touch lip serum is ready to use.
