[beeswax, castor oil, fragrance, alkanet root]

I have never heard of alkanet root, and I was really intrigued. It apparently is this cute little flower that has these deep red roots that make a great dye.

I ordered Pumpkin Spice as my scent and it smells wonderful. It reminds me of the Freak-O-Latern, a Spot Coffee Halloween beverage.... so just image a really awesome pumpkin spice latte. DELICIOUS! I wish it tasted as intense as it smells. When you lick your lips there is a slight hint of pumpkin and cinnamon.

When you put it on, it doesn't just nicely glide on, yet it isn't terrible. It is this odd gooey feeling. It is not super soft, it's solid, but it's mushy in its solid state. It is an interesting texture. Once you put it on your lips it evens out and smooths into your lips. It provides a nice moderate sheen and a nice reddish/coral tint.

This balm lasts about an hour. The shine quickly goes away and the color fades. Yet re-applying is an easy task.

This balm has a low heat resistance, and I do not recommend putting it in your pocket unless you will be spending most of your time in an air conditioned area.

Overall, this is a really nice and naturally colored lip tint. It's texture is something that is a new experience, but it is not terrible. I wish it did last longer. The color is really nice and would make a wonderful lip stain/cheek stain color.
