Double dipped lip balm - lip balm discontinued by Not Soap Radio - review by Airen Wolf

Frozen banana flavor lip gloss, really can anyone blame me for being totally curious? I didn't think so! This is one lip gloss that should be in every girl's makeup bag who loves chocolate covered bananas or is kissing someone who does. Not Soap Radio has captured the flavor of deep, rich chocolate slathered over a ripe fragrant banana perfectly. It is a treat for the senses and one I highly recommend. Good Lord and Lady look at me gushing over a product again!

The Frozen Banana lip balm by Not Soap Radio arrives in a light cardboard box that is cheerful and informative. The lip balm, itself, is packaged in a lovely, large, silver tin that features a beautiful little picture of a carnival. The design is by Lezlee Elliott. You get a whopping .75 oz of gloss. The gloss is poured into the tin so that you get banana on one side and chocolate on the other. It is firm int he tin but melts easily on the lips. You can decide to go all banana or all chocolate or, if you are like me, mix it up. I like putting chocolate on top and banana on my bottom lip and then smoosh them together. SO good!

You could use a fingertip or a lip brush for less mess. The balm can go over your favorite lipstick to impart a subtle glossy shine or under it as a smooth base for your lipstick. It can help if you have a problem with lipstick drying out your lips. You could also layer it on after you put it under your lipstick!

It feels light on the lips but very moisturizing. It will kiss off on your partner but won't leave him/her with a glossy mess. It will leave him/her licking his/her lips though!

The tin looks lovely sitting on a dressing table tray, but will fit easily into a makeup bag or purse. It is thin enough to fit in an evening bag though it doesn't come with a compact mirror. The lid is shiny enough to just barely make out your lips, however.

This little lip balm would make a lovely gift for just about any age as it doesn't have suggestive or raunchy pictures or advice on the labels or the box it arrives in. The ingredients are all clearly listed on the bottom of the tin and are pretty run of the mill for a lip gloss. It is mostly composed of Castor oil, olive oil, and carnuba wax for firmness. It has some mica added for a bit of shine and is paraben and phthalates free. It has never been tested on animals.

The lip gloss washes away cleanly with some soap and warm water, if you have any left after licking at your lips! It leaves a little bit of sweetness if you don't remove it before bed making morning kisses just a bit more special.

Sigel loves bananas, chocolate covered or straight he totally loves them. When he arrived home the day I got this little tin he was surprised at the door by me giving him a great big kiss. His eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "MMmmmm NICE!" before grabbing me for another kiss. So I wold say that this experiment was a successful one and I can recommend this lip balm without any reservations.

This lip balm is still pretty great. It didn't melt and get all goopy after being left in the car in my purse this summer. Now I am sure all of you know this Summer has been stupidly hot so when I discovered that I had left my purse in the car I figured the little metal tin of gloss was ruined. Not so! The gloss was a bit softer than it had been previously but it hardened right back up in the air conditioning. The taste is still phenomenal, though I admit, it's running low!
