Today I'll be reviewing this lip product from Vaseline called Rosy Lips Lip Care. I've been wanting to buy this for so long but I am not really a fan of lip balms so I didn't bother but then Unilever had a huge sale last June so I took the chance and finally bought this for myself to try. It was really hyped before and now we'll see if it does live up to the hype.

Honestly I am not sure if they have changed the packaging or the branding of this product, because on the Vaseline website it says "Lip Therapy" instead of "Lip Care". There are a lot of fake Vaseline products floating around, but I am pretty confident since I bought this from the official Unilever shop from Lazada Mall.
This product is the mini version, and you get 7g of product inside this cute little tub. As per directions, you can apply as needed to moisturize and soothe dry lips.
When I first saw the packaging, I really thought that the cover was attached to the base packaging. Turns out its a separate cover instead. It's quite easy to open, so I hope that it doesn't really open by itself when put inside a pouch or make-up bag.
Looking at Vaseline's official website, there are four variants of this particular product - Original, Cocoa Butter, Rosy and Crème Brulee. Since I already have the good old petroleum jelly, I decided to get something with color instead and since pink is one of my favorite colors, I decided to get the Rosy variant.
Here's a swatch of the product on my hands. I don't know why but I was expecting to see a bit of color, even the slightest pink hue on my hands. Unfortunately, it's really just like that, similar to regular petroleum jelly. But it smells so good. I can't tell if its roses, but the faint smell is really nice.
Now I'll show you the before and after of my lips. I have been using this product for at least a month now, applying it religiously every night before I go to sleep.
The photos on the left are the before photos, prior to application of the lip care product. As you can see my lips are really pigmented with dark spots. The photos on the right shows my lips after applying the product. Just like the swatch on my hand, its transparent with no hint of color.

As you can see, the Vaseline lip product instantly gave life to my dull lips. It looked a bit healthier and alive, I guess because its somewhat glossy? But it wasn't heavy on the lips like petroleum jelly. I actually quite like it, despite the expectation of it giving my lips a red/pink hint of color.
Overall, it wasn't what I was expecting but I wasn't fully disappointed as well. I still like the product, and will continue using it until I fully consume the whole small tub. Hopefully the results in the end will be worth the effort of applying this every night (if I don't forget lol). As for repurchasing, I might buy again if the end result will be really good after 1 small tub.
