This was one of my first Etsy purchases. It is a vegan lip balm with evening primrose and tea tree oil which is rumored to be very good for your lips.

When I first got this lip balm is was all gritty. Turns out cocoa butter and mango butter can crystallize if they get heated up and cool too quickly. The owner of the shoppe quickly sent me a new balm that was properly solidified.

This balm smells so perfectly peachy. It is also sweetened so it tastes like just a juicy peach! I love it!

It glides on but it does feel a tad greasy. It absorbs quickly but I've found that as I've gone farther down in the tube, it is gritty. It is by no means as gritty as the first balm....imagine bleached sand mixed with peach jelly.... but it has some little flecks of something. At first this freaked me out but I realized as I rubbed my lips together this balm was more like a sugar scrub for lips....in a balm. I kinda like it. It make be a weird texture for some, but I like to look at the bright side.

This balm does not last that long. It is very lick-able, but in its defense, it does absorb. It makes your lips feel nice, after you wipe off the girt.

Overall, this balm can go either way. The texture can make or break it, but the quality ingredients do have benefits. When it gets warmed up it gets a little greasier, and gets very hard when cold. The scent and flavor is amazing, but it is not the most amazing lip balm.
