After the first dance with a lime lip balm, I was cautious but still yearning for the refreshing lime that I sought.

This lip balm is pretty simple. The composition and the labeling. It's not overly appealing but let's roll with it.

This balm smells super lime-y to a point where it's intense. When you put it on, that intense smell does not transfer. Thank goodness. It doesn't taste like anything. It is mildly sweet, but there is no lime flavor. And yes, I realize that is silly, because an essential oil was used, and because of it, there shouldn't be a flavor, but lime EO does taste lime-like.

Moving on... the glide of this balm is nice. It is not greasy but it is slick. I think this is due to the soy wax. For some reason soy wax seems to be slicker than most other waxes when oil is added. This balm does a great job creating a nice, cool, and smooth coat on your lips. You can really feel the benefit from the cocoa butter. It is really luscious .

It wears pretty well. It does not hold up while eating and drinking, but you can still feel it on your lips about 2 hours after you put it on.

The neato part of this balm is the vegan factor. It's been a while since I've looked at a nice vegan balm. This, for being a vegan balm, is nice and shows a great quality for the low price.

Overall, this balm is a good deal for the price. It doesn't stand out, but it isn't terrible. I have found that it is a really nice base balm for lipstick and glosses.
