The peppermint tingle that people read as the balm working is a mild irritant, and for a minority it is the reason their lips stay dry -- they reapply, the irritation continues, and the cycle sustains itself.
Full details →Who the MAYBELLINE New York Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara is for

| Specification | MAYBELLINE New York Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara | Burt's Bees 100% Natural Moisturizing Lip Balm 4-Pack |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹799 | ₹999 |
| Fragrance | Fragrance free | Peppermint oil, which is a fragrance ingredient and a mild irritant |
| Key actives | Bamboo extract and fibres, in a flexible polymer film | Beeswax, coconut oil, sunflower oil, vitamin E, peppermint oil |
| Period after opening | Symbol says 6 months. Ophthalmological guidance is 3 months regardless | 24 months after opening |
| Volume | 7.2 ml | 4 x 4.25 g |
| Mains voltage | Not applicable | Not applicable |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Brush | Flexible tapered bristle, designed for reaching the inner corner | not published |
| Formula | Not waterproof. The waterproof version is a separate product | not published |
| Melting | not published | Softens above about 35 degrees C, so it should not live in a car in an Indian summer |
| Natural claim | not published | 100 percent natural is accurate as an ingredient claim; it says nothing about irritation, and peppermint is natural |
| No SPF | not published | None of the four has any sun protection |
| Occlusive versus humectant | not published | Beeswax is occlusive -- it seals moisture in and adds none. On already-dry lips, seal in water first |
| Peppermint | not published | Provides the tingle, and it is also a known lip irritant for some people. The tingle is not the balm working |
| Pumping the wand | Pushes air into the tube and dries the formula faster. Twist instead | not published |
| Removal | Warm water and cleanser; no oil remover needed | not published |
| Replacement | 3 months from opening. Mascara is the highest bacterial-risk product most people own, because the wand returns to the tube after touching the lash line every time | not published |
| Why the symbol is not enough | The 6M open-jar symbol assumes normal cosmetic use; eye products are the recognised exception and clinical advice is 3 months | not published |
Every row is a figure one or both products record. A blank is a figure the catalogue does not hold, not a zero.
