Matt's Great Grape Natural Lip Balm


This is another Ebay find.

Matt's Great Grape Natural Lip Balm
from Chelsea's Soap Garden
$2.50 (+ $2.95 S&H)

[sweet almond oil, cocoa, mango, and shea butter, beeswax, vitamin e, flavor oil, mica coloring, natural sweetener]

This Ebay shop also offers other natural products. They don't specify if they are organic or not, but they are NOT VEGAN.

Let me begin with how amazing this little lip balm container is. It's in a pot, so you have to use your finger, but it's a screw top container. It's a deep pot too! I'm not to sure how much you actually get, but it's a lot. So this screw-top is totally boss. You don't have to worry about cutting your fingers trying to open it or fear the cap coming off in your purse. LOVE IT!

The texture of it is nice. It's not waxy, but it is a little glossy. I want to avoid greasey because I don't think its due to that, i just think this balm is so packed with moisturizers that it takes a bit for it to work into your skin.

The scent and flavor of this is heavenly. It indeed is a great grape flavor. It's not overly sweet like The Body Need's balm, but it still is lip-licking. So I was constantly re-applying.

Matt's Great Grape definitely nourishes your lips and makes them kissably soft!!! The major drawback is the price. $2.50 is not unreasonable for how much you get, but the $2.95 S&H is a bit much. I got it in a rather large box (the size I typically get my Dunny's in) filled with packing peanuts and then this little lip balm in a small plastic baggie. It's a bit much. But if you have the $5.45 to spend, it's a solid investment. This lip balm will last, there is a lot of it.
