Garden of Earthly Delights Lip Balm
$1.99 (+ $1 S&H)
[apricot kernel oil, mango butter, vitamin e, beeswax, sweet orange essential oil]
The awesome typeface on the label really drew me into this balm...and the great price!
This balm has a wonderfully subtle hint of orange. It is just enough to make you think of a bright and succulent orange, but not enough to make you want to constantly lick your lips.
It glides on very smoothly. The mango butter really makes your lips feel so smooth and soft. At first it felt a bit greasy, but this sensation quickly goes away. This only happened the first few times I applied this balm. My conclusion is that maybe via mailing it melted and reformed when it arrived and there was just some odd settling at the top, because after the 12th or so application, it felt like a gloriously well textured lip balm.
This balm lasts the average duration of your general lip product, 2 to 3 hours. It does not hold up to eating or drinking and I found that it really smudges clear glasses, so that you have to wipe them off before putting them in the dishwasher, otherwise they still come out with your lip-print on the rim.
Even though this product is not Vegan, it is all natural and organic. This makes this lip balm that much more awesome.
I cannot figure out why it is the Garden of Earthly Delights however. When I think of the title I think maybe Apple would be a better scent? It doesn't affect the great quality of this lip balm however!
The only negative of this balm is its low melting point. I forgot it in my car (I was doing so well remembering to take them out too!) and when I got it, it was too late, so I put it in the fridge and when it came out the mango butter had crystallized and it was no longer usable.
Overall, this is a great balm for the price. It has a sophisticated scent with a light flavor but do not expose it to great amounts of heat or sunlight.
Rating: 4 outta 5
