This nifty looking lip balm caught my eye. Then the fact it was tinted, I was super excited.

It has an odd smell. According to the add, it is a subtle scent of cake. I think it smells like some weird chocolate almond concoction. It is not that great. When you put it on the almond scent is predominate, and you wont find yourself licking your lips a whole heck of a lot.

This lip balm glides on really nice. It is a soft and smooth transfer. Your lips feel creamy and not greasy. The color is a light reddish coral. It is subtle, but definitely makes your lips look brighter and lusher. It is a nice compliment to your natural lip color.

This balm contains lanolin, which is suppose to make your lips stay softer longer. I find that it does make the lip balm seem to stay on longer, but the feeling goes from creamy to a sticky grease feeling in about an hour. This is uncomfortable, and since it's taste is icky you can't lick it off, so you reapply it. So even though the balm DOES stay on longer, it does not remain that nice original consistency... therefore, this balm does not actually last long. I would give it about an hour, maybe two at the max. Yet it does stand up well against drinking and eating.

Overall, this is an okay balm. It doesn't smell super awesome, nor does it taste great. The tint is awesome. There is a vegan balm through this seller... it may be more exciting and worthwhile.
