Product Review - Chambor Velvet Lips Lip Balm SPF 15

   Winters are a welcome change of weather from endless sweaty days. But, along with it come many skin woes amongst which dry and chapped lips is what troubles me the most. Been trying out the Chambor Velvet Lips Lip Balm, which was launched early last year, to end my lip woes and sharing my experience of the same below.

   Product Claims: Velvet lips is a soft, smooth & velvety lip balm.
Its Intense Moisture Therapy Lip Care not only locks the moisture in your lips but does a lot more! Helps protect against dryness and chapping. Helps soften and condition lips. 

   Price: Rs. 295/-
   Volume: 4 g
   Shelf Life: 36 months.
   Application: Take required amount and apply on your lips with a lip brush or your finger tip. Smooth across your lips as often as required.
   Ingredients:

   Chambor Velvet Lips is an untinted lip balm which comes in a transparent round pot container with a navy blue lid. It has a pleasant mild fragrance. A small amount of the lip balm is sufficient to get optimal moisturizing effect. Gliding easily on lips, it feels very light and gives a mild glossy finish. It moisturizes the lips well and softens chapped skin as well as prevents sun damage to make lips appear more luscious. It stays on my lips for a good 4-6 hours without intake of food and drinks. On the downside, application of this lip balm is less hygienic and more cumbersome when compared to chapsticks.

   Pros:
- Packaged in a sturdy, pretty pot which is easy to carry around.
- Does not melt when kept in hot conditions, so doesn't create much fuss!
- Has a pleasant smell.
- Not tinted which makes it friendly for use for males too.
- Glides easily on lips for smooth application. 
- A tiny amount is enough to moisturize the lips.
- Feels very light on the lips.
- Gives a subtle glossy finish.
- Contains SPF 15 giving protection against UV rays.
- Moisturizes the lips well.
- Prevents and treats chapped lips!
- Staying power is pretty good and even after meals and drinks lips feel moisturized.
- Easily available across India. 

      Cons: 
- Less hygienic to use when compared to chapsticks.
- On pricier side.

   Verdict: 4.5/5. Chambor Velvet Lips Lip Balm made my lips stay soft, supple and well moisturized throughout the winter and is definitely worth recommending as well as a repurchase! 

Product Review - Chambor Intense Nail Color #446

   I have always been a huge fan of nail enamels since childhood and one will seldom find my toenails bare without a nail enamel though I usually don't apply them much on my fingernails as many of them take too long to dry or start chipping within a day or two making applying a nail enamel on fingernails very tedious and unproductive unless applied for special occasions. But, this was all until I found the Chambor Intense Nail Enamels!
   On suggestion of a friend I visited the Chambor outlet at a local mall and this particular metallic gold shade caught my attention so much that I bought it immediately.

        Product Claims: Beautiful nail colour with a gloss effect for long lasting shine.
- Contains Nail Hardener – Does not allow the nails to break easily. Good for brittle nails.

- Does not allow the nails to turn yellow on regular wear. 

- In Two Coats get the exact Shade and gives a Uniform application. 

- Quick Dry Formula: Dries faster on nails after application, but not in the bottle. 

- Chip Resistant : Long Lasting.

- Clinically Tested

   Price: Rs. 299/-

   Volume: 9 ml.

   Finish: Metallic.

   Shelf Life: 36 months. 
 

   What I love about this particular enamel is the intense color that it provides in a single coat. Also the fact that it dries pretty quickly and is really long lasting makes it a definite yes for me! A double coat of the enamel lasts for a minimum of 5 days for me when applied without a base or a top coat before it starts showing evidence of tip wear.

   Pros:
- Packaged in a sturdy transparent glass bottle.
- A single coat gives sufficient color, although two coats are needed for best effect.
- Dries pretty quickly.
- Has a smooth texture.
- The nail enamel gives a uniform color without streaking.
- The enamel lasts longer than most nail enamels which I have tried.
- The range is available in a huge variety of shades.
- Ease of availability.

Cons:
- Costlier when compared to other brands.

Verdict: 4.5/5. Would definitely recommend this enamel to everyone, although I wish it were a little cheaper! Nonetheless, being metallic, an "in trend" this season this product is sure to catch the attention of people wherever you go and will be a definite source of compliments for everyone!
