Yesterday we were watching 2012 and this movie has this awesome capacity to spark off debates in my family. So while we still debate over what Mayans actually meant by their predictions, you read on about Lip Ice!
So you know the drill about Lip Ice. You put it on and it goes on clear then changes colour within two minutes. The one I used before was Lip Ice Natural and this one is Strawberry. This gives a subtle pink tint. On my lips it looks almost reddish pink. It will work more for you if you have pale lips. You can deepen the colour by layering it. Like its a sheer pink in 2-3 swipes and turns into deep pink in 7-8 swipes. I usually carry it around when I’m travelling and it is a savior in those badly lit washrooms where I put it on blindly having full faith it its subtle pinkness. The best part is no matter how much you layer it, it never feels waxy.
The tint you get has to be traded off with the moisturization. Its almost like the Nivea Fruity Shine lip balms in this regard, which isn’t great in moisturization either. So, what I do is apply a thin co at of Maybelline Color Smooth lip balm
Here are the swatches:
Price: Rs. 190
Availability: I got it from urbantouch.com. Also available at healthkart and stylecraze.
So is it for you? Yes if you want some fun makeup in your kitty and want those natural pink lips. You can deepen the colour by layering it and it never ever feels waxy. Although the moisturization is not that good and you need to re-apply often.
PS – I have more than 6-7 tinted balms and I’m thinking of doing a comparison post!
I love my lip iceee!!
when I saw that fuchsia tint on the lipice I wondered if it will turn an angry fuchsia shade on lips, but the swatch looks so pretty!
I’m all crazy pinks this winter. I’m having berry and fuchsia cravngs. This looks so nice! Would suit you well
m thinking f buying it
sounds cool… wd try it : )
This is a nice colour… but can be soo unpredictble!

@Keerthi i generally wear 5-6 swipes!
i used to have a colour changing balm very similar to this one … except that the pink colour dat showed up on my lips was sooo tacky !!!! thanks for the review !!
I recently acquired this from a giveaway :D I am liking this 1 better than the maybelline tinted ones :)
This is very pretty but really looks like it needs 5-6 swipes. It is very light.
Love the natural pink swipes….thanks for the review…
@rids oh really? i know about tacky colours..very yuk
@Raaga maybelline toh lacks in tint deptt. this is way better
@Sandy d more pigmented ur lips are, the more swipes you need. would work better for those with paler lips
