[shea butter, beeswax, kumquat and melon essential oils]

This is a super great lip balm deal. Really cheap. I couldn't pass it up.

This lip balm smells really yummy. You can really smell the melon and then the slight kumquatty sweetness. When you put it on it tastes sweet, not overly fruity thought.

I applies nicely. A very smooth transfer, however it does feel a bit heavy on the lips. It is not waxy just very thick. It also does not absorb evenly. I was rubbing my lips together to see if I could melt it faster and now there are patches on my lips that feel slick and others that still feel thick with the balm.

Aside from this unevenness, it does last a little longer than your normal lip balm. I would say about 4 hours of wear. It doesn't make it past eating, but I was able to drink and still have some left, yet do not use this and drink milk. Very bad combination.

Overall, this is an alright lip balm. It's different because of its use of kumquat, but that is about all that stands out with this balm.
