Vixen and Venus Kiss This! Lip Conditioner


Vixen and Venus Kiss This! Lip Conditioner
$2.75 (+ $1 S&H)

in Green Apple ( other flavors available)

[Almond oil, coconut oil, beeswax (VEGAN SOY WAX ALSO OFFERED), Olive oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, vitamin e, and flavor]

I received this balm as a nice added bonus from a purchase I made, and will review at a later date. I was really excited because I did not realize this shop sold lip balm too, I thought it was soap, hair, and just skin care (scrubs and such). What a wonderful surprise!

First, this lip balm is one of the nicest greens I have ever seen. It does not come off on your lips or anything, but just to look at...it's soothing.

This lip conditioner also smells lovely. It is just a slightly tart apple scent. It is not over powering, if anything it's faint, but I have found with Green Apple, it is often an overdone scent which turns into into Sour Green Apple quickly. This lip conditioner does a wonderful job finding the right balance where it is there, the real deal, and not overpowering. When you put it on, the apple flavor stands out more. Consider it like the aftertaste of the green apple JollyRancher. Fresh and apple-y. It is very pleasing.

This balm goes on nice and smooth. At first it felt a bit greasy but I noticed that my lips did get a bit of a shine going, so I think that greasy feeling that lingers for about a minute after you put it on is just the oils trying to absorb. It is not uncomfortable or anything. As this conditioner sinks into your skin it feels very refreshing. It wears for about 2 hours, and it lip licking goodness, so you may find yourself applying it frequently because you just love the taste too much.

The only negative about this balm is that it is a low heat resistant balm. It does not hold up in your pocket, or even being out on my desk during the day. It gets very soft and if you try to apply it, the nice firm application pressure you'd normally use will send it smudging all around your lips with chunks everywhere. Unattractive and terribly uncomfortable.

Overall, this is a really great balm. A nice subtle scent with a great flavor and a cool color that wont transfer to your lips. This is a great product for a person with a sweet tooth or a small child who has chapped lips and refuses to take care of them. This label design is even male friendly. I don't think my guy friends would mind carrying this tube around, as compared to maybe the Lip Ganache Tube or Pussy Pucker Pots container. The other nice thing about this lip conditioner is that, UPON REQUEST, it can be made Vegan with soy wax. How awesome is that?!

Rating: 4 outta 5
