This oval tubed lip balm is adorned with an adorable vintage image of a little girl on a tricycle...one that reminds me of mine when I was little. I was drawn to the fantastic color and the mango flavor of this balm.

This lip balm is indeed a neon peach color, and it does not tint your lips. It provides a nice, smooth glide, with a slight shimmer. It is not a glittery shimmer, but a moistened shimmer. Very nice. When you apply this balm it is not waxy or slick. However, as it wears, it begins to get waxy. I'm not to sure if it is drying out or just leaving a film. This is unpleasant, but it doesn't occur until a few hours into wearing.

The Mango Whammy flavor, is very pleasing. I would not really call it mango. It takes like a candy necklace. Now, I am not complaining or knocking this flavor. I love it. It's light and sweet scent brings me back to my childhood days. I'm just pointing out that it lacks the mango-esq essential quality I expect when I see "mango" on the label.

This stuff has some awesome durability. Aside from the waxy dry residue that is the eventual outcome of it's use, it wears well through drinking and eating.

Overall, this isn't a bad balm. The flavor is rocking, the tube is cute, the only negative is the waxy residue.

Rating: 3 outta 5
