First I want to point out this Etsy seller advertises that this is a Vegan lip balm. It is not. And it really irks me when crap like this is done. I was fully aware of the Un-vegan-ness of this item, but I just want to say that in defense of someone who would be new to veganism or someone buying their beloved veg a gift, this is misleading.

But onto the review...

Grape. It's exciting. It smells sweet and tangy, like real smashed graped. Very splendid. The taste is okay. It is very sweet, and not that grape like. The smell is rad, not the flavor.

This balm contains vegetable glycerine, which I have never seen in a balm before....and I can figure out why. This balm is sticky when you go to put it on and when it is applied to your lips it is very waxy and paste-like.

I can't tell you how long it lasts because I hate wearing it.

This is almost as bad as the Buddha Balm.

I guess my dissatisfaction lies in the fact that:
1- this is not vegan, therefore should not be advertised as so
2- vegetable glycerine should be used in soap, not lip products

Overall, this balm smells really great and I guess that's about it.
