Bella Vita Organic NicoLips Lip Lightening Scrub Balm Review | Ultimate Lip Care Product | Beauty Review | Product Review

Lips remain one of the most neglected areas, even for the most ardent beauty buffs. While we spend a fortune on serums and masks and moisturizers and oils for our facial skin and butters and scrubs for our body, we hardly give a glance to our lips other than buying lip balms or lip colors. But thanks to the modern stressful lifestyle, sun exposure, aging, environmental concerns, and other such reasons, we are often reminded of the need to take care of our lips too when they turn pigmented, dark, chapped, dehydrated, and succumb to the vagaries of age/ pollution/ sun exposure etc.

Something similar happened to me, as thanks to pollution and sun damage my lips had become very pigmented at the beginning of this year so I have devoted this year to finding great products for all my troublesome areas, including lips. After a lot of search, browsing through multiple reviews by beauty experts and talking to some of my friends, I zeroed down on Bella Vita Organic NicoLips Lip Lightening Scrub Balm.


Exfoliate, Moisturize, Brighten, it is not everyday you meet an all-purpose superstar product for your lips. Nico Lips by Bella Vita Organic is definitely one such all-in-one-star.




Packaging of Bella Vita Organic NicoLips Lip Lightening Scrub Balm is very cute in a small plastic pot. It is noteworthy that it is shipped in a handy, eco-friendly, sustainable, ethical jute bag packaging.  

Ingredients list includes a delicious mix of natural oils and scrub particles i.e. Rosehip Oil, Shea Butter, Vitamin E, Oats grits, Olive Oil, Carrot Seed Oil, Wheatgerm Oil, Walnut Grits etc..

Claims that this little miracle pot helps exfoliate, lighten, brighten, soften lips in a matter of 4 weeks.

Availability of Bella Vita Organic NicoLips Lip Lightening Scrub Balm is very good online on Bella Vita Organic website as well as Amazon and the 20 gram pot is available for Rs. 399 only. 

Quantity is 20 grams which is enough to last for 2 months at least, even when used once everyday. I have been using this everyday at night for the past 15 days and I have barely used up 1/3rd the quantity, and that too because I am very generous and use it more like a lip mask. 

Usage - Apply lips, massage/exfoliate in circular motion, let it sit for 1-2 minutes, wash/rinse off.

Effect - First of all, look at the gorgeous color! It looks like strawberry pulp, and even smells very tempting. I have a hard time trying not to eat it. It has a delicious texture and feels cool against my fingers, and again I have to remind myself that it is not an edible item. 


I mildly scrub my lips every night with it and then leave it for about 5 minutes before wiping it off. Then I add a thin layer of my fav lip Butter and go to sleep. Mind you, I apply it generously like a lip mask and let the goodness of its amazing ingredients seep into my lips before wiping it off and then it is essential to top off with one's favorite lip balm or butter because it completely exfoliates my lips and leaves it on the drier side.

While I know nothing can or should change the natural color of one's lips (or skin!), it would be nice to get a natural plumpness and pinkishness to my lips and this is why I chose to invest in Nico Lips, perpetually at number 1 bestseller position in Amazon list. It has just been a fortnight and already I can see results. 

NO it has not turned my lips miraculously pink overnight. In fact, I would be alarmed if it did because that would mean inclusion of possibly dangerous bleaching ingredients.

NO it has not turned my lips looking cosmetically enhanced like I have had some artificial plumper or filler added to it.

But YES what it has done is, I can see significant decrease in my pollution and sun-exposure related pigmentation on my lips.

YES it exfoliates and brightens just like it claims, and once I have used it, the lip balm goes on smoothly and I feel my lips are plumped up throughout the day.

Naturally my lips have a brownish-maroon color and I expect Bella Vita Organic NicoLips to bring that shade back to my lips. I am hopeful that in the next 2-4 weeks of continuous usage, I would be able to demonstrate its complete efficacy. As of now, I am really enjoying its texture, incredibly tempting fragrance, the lip scrubbing and masking experience, and slow but distinct decrease in my lip pigmentation.  

YES 

  • Organic, free of bad chemicals

  • Delicious blend of ingredients such as rosehip oil, vitamin e, oats, and more

  • Lasts a really long time

  • Looks edible, very tempting texture and natural fragrance

  • True to its claims of exfoliating, brightening, softening

  • After using it, lip balm/butter glides smoothly on lips

NO 

  • Be careful while scrubbing or the gritty particles can hurt your delicate lips. This is not a con of the product but something to be careful about. The product works without being harsh on lips.


Recommended -Yes. Bella Vita Organic NicoLips is choc-a-bloc with amazing ingredients and is true to its claims. Rating is 5/5.
