Every now and then, Lip Service offers 2 balms for $3. I just wanted to point this out to those of you who are all about the bargains.

Many of these balms you can choose your own flavor. received the "tax balm" in grape and the "sweet dreams" balm in cheesecake.

The Tax Balm has a green wrapper, a dollar sign and a quote about how much the government loves to screw you over (it is true). The scent/flavor is grape. As an avid grape lover, this flavor meets my high standard of great grapeness.

The Sweet Dreams balm is scented/flavored is Cheesecake. At first I was a little skeptical with this flavor but oh gees, am I super glad I got it. It smells like a rich New York style cheesecake, plain, but soooo yummy. I think if you requested a hint of strawberry mixed with it, you may never have to actually eat cheesecake again. (But really, no.... everyone needs cheesecake, unless you're lactose intolerant.)

I digress...

These balms go on very nice. It glides on smoothly, however it is a bit soft, so I recommend you do not push down super hard when applying it. At first there is a slightly greasy feeling, but when you rub your lips together, it goes away. This balm absorbs very nicely, and leaves a light sheen on your lips.

They last a little less than the average lip balm. I would say you can get a solid hour to two hours with this balm. The yummy flavors, however, make reapplying not so much of a chore. They do not stand up against eating or drinking.

Overall, I am very impressed with the quality of this balm versus how inexpensive it is. This is about what you would pay for a typical Chapstick brand (Boo Chapstick!) but it is cheaper than Burt's beeswax. This is a great quality balm with some cute wrappers (they have a ferret one which is too precious!) and great flavors. I expect to see some even greater flavors to come shortly!
