If you see me rummaging in bags and pockets, chances are I’m on a lip balm hunt. I keep one everywhere – purse, car, desk, you name it! Michigan winters are brutal on lips, and this balm is a lifesaver against dryness and cracking.
I stumbled upon Mario Badescu’s lip balm trio at TJ Maxx and felt like I won the lottery! I first fell for the unscented version, followed quickly by the Mint and Rose scents. They all apply clear with a lovely shine. Even though the Rose and Mint are sweetly scented, they haven’t irritated my sensitive skin at all. The Mint balm has a refreshing scent and subtle peppermint extract, but no tingle.
This balm is on the thicker side, providing rich hydration that lasts for hours (unless you’re a snacker like me!). It’s infused with coconut, nourishing butters, and conditioning oils – all without feeling greasy. Plus, it’s paraben-free, gluten-free, sulfate-free, and phthalate-free.
Let me know if you have any other favorites that might rival these!
