Mavala Lip Balm

Description (on Mavala website)Mavala Lip Balm protects and takes care of your lips. It relieves damaged lips, wraps them with its fine, velvety texture and its subtle vanilla fragrance. This balm protects and repairs, thanks to its balanced formula made from a botanical complex based on pattersons curse, heart seed and sunflower oil, which provides a shield effect and soothes.
This complex is combined with apricot (efficient against free radical scavenger properties), aloe vera (helps cell renewal and smoothes), shea butter (nourishing) and filters (to help prevent premature ageing). A perfect restoring product for dry and chapped lips and for retaining suppleness.

Packaging
In a lipstick tube in white with the brand printed in red. Simple and clinical look.

Color Selection
There is no color selection, just one basic lip balm
How to Apply
Use on bare lips or after lip tint. I like to use the lip balm whenever I see it, just as often as deemed necessary. I have super dry lips so I apply this quite often. And I always apply before I go to bed at night.

Ingredients
I think the description describes enough :).

Coverage
Good.

Texture
It's like super sticky lipstick.

Spreadability
Easy.

Finish
Sometimes it could leave white layer on my lips, makes me look rather pale. So I usually use it on top of lip tint when I'm outside, just so that people wouldn't stop me thinking I'm gonna fall fainting haha..and yeah, it's that pale.

My General Rating
I like that the lip balm works. Not all lip balm work as well as this one on me - I have dry lips. And I like that it's in the form of a stick, I don't like sticking my finger on a jar of lip balm - or any jar of any cosmetics. This is practical. What I don't really like is the whitish finish on me, makes me look really sickly. But for the result, I don't mind it. I can use lip tint underneath anyway. Even my boyfriend like the product - he once borrowed it when he got his allergic coming near his lips and the skin got very very very dry (it even leave cracks for dryness), this helps. And eventually I just bought a new one for him, for emergency purposes. The slight vanilla smell, I don't love, but I don't mind.

Overall Rating
4 out of 5. If not for the whitish finish and vanilla fragrance, I'd give full mark.

Price
IDR - forgot, will update later.
