I was super excited about this lip balm. I am that girl that when I go out to eat I do not just get water... nor water with lemon. Oh no, I go above that. I get a lime and make sure my table has a lot of the pink sugar packets. My friends call what I make "ghetto limeade." But I digress...

Cozy Moments has a nice little collection of home made goodies, from soap to lotions to even this lip balm.

This is a pretty standard looking balm; clean label, basic clear round tube of the .15 oz standard size.

The scent is a bit reminiscent of a medicine I took when I was younger. However, this flavor is growing on me. The scent makes me think medicine, but every time I put it on the flavor begins to seem more like lime. It doesn't taste like my ghetto limeade but its decent. Its a light, not so sweet flavor. If you are looking for a balm that is light and not sweetened, I would highly recommend this.

The application glide is nice. It is a tad greasy, but that actually adds a nice glass effect. I have no complaints on how this goes on.

It wears for a great while. The greasy feeling goes away within a half hour as the balm absorbs. Although the feeling of the gloss dissolves, there is still a linger of shimmer and your lips still feel moisturized.

Overall, this is a sophisticated balm. Not for the kiddies. Great as a stocking stuff for a co-worker or an adult in your life.

Rating: 3 outta 5
