Goodegear Lip Balm tin


Goodegear Lip balm tin
$1.95 (+$1.25 S&H)
from Goodegear Etsy

[beeswax, apricot kernel oil, avocado oil, island delight flavor oil]

I was impressed with the price and the simplicity of the this balm, also the cool graphic on the label.
This was really an impulse buy that I thought was a bargain.


When you slide of the tin, the balm is a light pink color. Mica was not listed in the ingredients so I think that the either it is the apricot kernel or the flavor oil adding the tint.

It smells divine. A nice slice of fruity paradise. When you go to swipe your finger over the balm, it is very difficult. The balm is extremely waxy. I have to breathe on the balm or warm it up some how just to get a good amount onto my finger to put on my lips. Once on my lips this balm tastes pretty good, but is really waxy.

The Etsy description for this item says that it stays on for hours, and I will admit that it does. I think that is because your lips are encased in wax.

I ended up poking the lip balm outta the tin and using it like that to apply. And then my fingers get sticky...

Overall, this balm has the potential for greatness if the composition of oils and wax were more balanced. It smells great but is a work out to put on.

Rating: 1.5 outta 5
