This balm is from another husband and wife team. They run a line a luxury bath and body products. I got this lip balm on sale. It was $3. Apparently they are re-designing the product packaging, hence the sale.

This balm is packed with a lot of moisturizing elements. It is in a cute .35 oz tin, which sadly mine was spotted with rust, which detracted from the appeal. The balm is a bit textured, because of the shea butter, but it does not transfer from the tin to your lips. It goes on the lips nice and smooth. It is very silky, not greasy at all. The blend of wax, oils, and butter is great, it is a wonderful consistency and achieves a true luxurious balance.

The scent and flavor is Yu, which is a mango scent. It smells great. Just like a ripe and juicy mango. It has a sweet somewhat mango-y taste, but the scent is intoxicating.

One of the messages that this company wants to stress is the diversity of our world. Their products are named by various languages. Some I've never heard of. I think it's a great idea, and a great message and mission for a bath and body company.

This balm wears for a while too. It absorbs and leaves your lips with a really cool wet sensation. Yea.....wet. Your lips feel totally hydrated. It's splendid!!!

Overall, this balm is nice. The taste is a bit of a let down compared to the scent and the lid of the tin is a bit cumbersome. I'd argue that for the price of this balm, it's a bit pricey for the quality.

Rating: 4 outta 5
