Island Kiss Alma Vanilla & Inges Lavender Lip Moisturiser Review

I was already blown away with the beautiful Island Kiss Puerto Berry Blush that I started using the Alma Vanilla & Inges Lavender. Lip moisturizers are like BFFs for me because I have extremely dry lips all year round. I don't prefer lip glosses because most of them are sticky and shiny and instead of hydrating lips they tend to make them patchy and contain glittery particles. However, this one is a pure love. The brand might be new but it has all the reasons to love it to the core. So, let's get ahead with my experience with the Island Kiss Alma Vanilla & Inges Lavender Lip Moisturiser.

My Experience With Island Kiss Alma Vanilla & Inges Lavender Lip Moisturiser:

Packaging: Packaging is where you have to give full marks to the product. It comes in a lavender colored cardboard box with every detail of the product printed on it. The tube is small and has a mix of white and pink to it. The mouth of the tube is slanted so that you can apply it whenever you want and don't require a lip brush, wand or even a mirror! Having said that, the product is itself very easy to carry and totally messy free.

Shade: The swatch looks like a light lavender color but on the lips it comes across as a total clear gloss. Well, I would say this is a pretty clear gloss without those gaudy shimmers or light reflecting particles. And hence, I am quite a fan of this one. You can either pair it up alone for the natural glossy lip or simply apply on top of any lip color as well. Either way, it looks very pretty. The days I simply hate applying any makeup, this is my go-to lip product.
Texture: The texture is like oil-gloss with a runny consistency. This is why you require a very little amount on the lips for that glossy touch. The product is enriched with the hydrating enrichment of the Organic Carrot Seed Oil, Pure Castor Oil, Rich Vitamin E Oil, Organic Macadamia Nut Oil, Citrus Oil and Raspberry Seed Essential Oil. Thus, it will keep the lips moisturized for a long time and you won't have to scrub like hell. The texture is so good that it acts like lip moisturizer as well as a clear lip gloss for me.

Formula: The formula is organic, petroleum-free, non-toxic, paraben free and sulphate free. Thus, you just couldn't ask more from it. Further, it has SPF 15 to provide the protection from UV rays to the lips as well. I love its softening, comforting, conditioning, and protective properties.
Staying Power: Glosses have lesser wear time than other formulas and this one stays for around 2-3 hours on my lips when worn alone. It can't survive any food or drinks and you have to re-apply to keep the high-gloss formula. On top of other lip colors, it stays for around 4 hours and more depending on the food you are having. I have no complaints about the staying power because glosses tend to slip away sooner.
