Review: ZA Vitamin Lip with Sunscreen SPF 26

Another post for u guys, and this review is on ZA's Vitamin Lip. (^^) Actually, I purchased this before my Maybelline lip balm. Why? Because it tastes funny. It's salty. Seriously.

This Treatment Stick(exact words quoted from the packaging) has SPF 26 with pure Vitamin C, and that was the main reason I purchased it.. So, with hope that I get soft pink lips, I picked this up from the shelves.

[Directions/ How I Use It]
Extend stick out slightly and apply on lips.
Can be worn under lipstick.
For me, I apply at night(during the weekends) so that my lips can absorb vitamins =)

[What It Does]
Helps prevent sunburn, to maintain a young healthy look.
Higher SPF gives more sunburn protection

[Ingredients]
-Citrus flavoured with pure Vitamin C
-SPF 26 PA+++ UVA/UVB
(Active ingredient Octinoxate 7.4%)
-Mineral Oil, Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate, Paraffin, Ascorbic Acid, Trioctanoin, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Petrolatum, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Tocopherol, Orange Oil, Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate,  Tocopheryl Acetate, Diisostearyl Maate, BHT, Glyceryl Diisostearate, CI 19140

[Review]
I guess this is a lip balm if you are heading to the beach. Because the packaging stresses that it helps protect and prevent sunburn on lips. But, that doesn't explain the salty+sour(lemony) taste. (The sourness is from the pure Vitamin C?) It's a bit weird for me, frankly speaking.

Review: Maybelline New York Lip Smooth Color & Care (Lip Balm)

Hi again...since I carry this Refreshing Tinted Lip Balm(quoted from Maybelline =p) in my bag every day, I might as well do a review about it.

Presenting you my newest find - a lip balm for day use.

For cute, soft & kissable lips, first of all we need to drink enough water. Yup, that simple step will make a huge difference on our lips too. Actually, my hubby always reminds me to drink water. (^^) Besides drinking water and exfoliating our lips, having the right lip balm is important to me.

[Directions/ How I Use It] 

Apply directly on lips (daily, if you can)

[What It Does]
-Revitalises dry/dull lips
-Gives moisturizing shine
-Softens & smoothens lips
-Protects lips from the sun (it has SPF 16 (^^)/)
