This .5 oz tin packs a lot of goodness. First, I love the label. It's simple yet has this sophisticated urban feel to it. The type face really sets of this label. Plus, it is in a tin, and although some people find these lip balms unsanitary, sticky, and cumbersome, I love it. I think that tins are a really great way to present and store lip balm. Sometimes my arm gets tired as I am swirling lip balm in a tube over and over and over and over my lips to get the desired amount. Through these reviews I have come to realize I am a bit partial to tinned lip balm.

But moving on....

This balm is from a husband and wife team, calling themselves Cherry Blossom Co. (Hence the C&B Co.) According to their Etsy they make their stuff in small batches to ensure quality and freshness, which is awesome.

This balm is not colored and has a very strong rosemary scent. It is extremely calming. I opted for the cranberry-rosemary because I'm not a bit cranberry person but I wanted to try something new. I'm really glad I did. The cranberry isn't super strong, but blends wonderfully with the rosemary creating this great balance of scent and flavor. I find the aroma of the rosemary to be awesome and beneficial, as I've already mentioned it's very calming. Aromatherapy and great taste... what more could you want!?

This balm also has the right recipe. Meaning... the blend of wax to oil is perfect. The consistency of this balm is just right. Not to soft, not to hard, your finger can glide over it, get a good amount for application and the transfer is flawless. It leaves a light gloss on your lips but is not sticky, so if you have long hair, no worries. It wont stick to your lips.

I couldn't believe this balm was made from beeswax. I could have sworn vegetable wax was used because of the great glide of this balm. Oh well, it's not vegan but it is amazing.

This balm wears for a pretty good length of time. I had to re-apply it whenever I ate or got really tense, but I would say this has a good 3 to 4 hour wear.

Overall, this balm is amazing. Since Pussy Pucker Pots no longer exist really, I think I found it's replacement.... I miss the raunchy names, but this balm really is awesome. It's not vegan, but it's relaxing. I can't really find anything to complain about. The lid got stuck on the container once. But I recovered from that.

And oh! I almost forgot the best part... this lip balm, with shipping, is $2!!!! This is a steal!!!
