So I was at my local Whole Foods Store one day and stumbled upon this crazy little thing. I remember reading about this vegan lip balm somewhere and doubted it would be any good, but this really surprised me! I bought it and use it just as frequently as my other favorite lip balms. Like my background for this one? It’s that stupid “Duck Walks up to a Lemonade Stand" video hahahaha.
1. Price: $$
This was $4.00 for a 0.15 oz tube. Err…wut. I questioned why I I had to pay this much for a small tube when i could really grab a stick of burts bees for a whole dollar less. But $4.00 for absolutely VEGAN animal-cruelty-free lip balm sounds ok. The vegan part convinced me it was worth the extra dollar.

2. Appearance:It looks just like any other normal lip balm, but the thing i most enjoyed was the Hipstery, small-town boutique specialty shop feel that i got with the label. It’s really vintage and retro looking, something kinda niche to the bougie culture of hipsters, but hey, that’s cool. The tube is also a little translucent, not completely see through—which is classy. The balm itself is colored like lemonade. Yellowish.
3. Feel
GLIDE - I complain about lip balms that are TOO oily. This is a little bit oily. I understand it’s like olive oil and shea butter, but it’s too slick. The feeling on my lips feels like i kissed the opening of an olive oil bottle and wearing it feels fine, but putting it on, it’s a bit too slick…like i could feel some excess on the tips of my mouth and such each time I put it on.
SMELL - This is possibly the best part of the lip balm itself. The smell is so amazing i cannot even compare. It’s like someone literally opened a lemon right under your nose. It smells just like lemon—literally from the fruit. It’s such a nice fragrant smell as well! I couldn’t believe it at first—but the smell never wore off for me. It stays on most of the wear time.
TASTE - No taste.
SHINE -Too oily and a little too shiny for a guy. It’s a nice sheen for a woman, but the shininess is noticeable. It’s not subtle from a distance so if you’re a dude and you want to buy this stuff—don’t use too much of it or it’ll look like you’re wearing a little lip gloss.
LASTING TIME - Hmm…lasting time is about 3ish hours or so. I found that because it was kinda oily, my lips absorbed it pretty quickly. I had to reapply it a few times throughout the day, but i didn’t mind that. It was a nice experience to wear since it smelled so nice.

4. Manliness: 1.5/5This one isn’t a great choice for guys since it is in fact very shiny, but that’s fine. If you wear it sparingly and don’t slather it on like normal lip balm, then this would work, no problem.
CONCLUSION: ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ 3.5/5 stars. This one does everything you need it to do for you including smell nice. I have to say, i really approve. I thought this would be a boring lip balm with not much to it, but it has surprised me a lot. I like this one. It’s good. I’d highly recommend it to any girls looking for a fun, classy, lip balm. Guys, go ahead and use it—but maybe the other flavors won’t be as shiny?
