Lip balm discontinued

Explosions of Deliciousness on My Lips!

Basically, this has replaced Burt's Bees in my book as the best lip balm ever. It's soft, feels nice, lasts for a decent amount of time, is easy to use, smells good, and has an unbeatable price. You will definitely not regret trying it out, and will end up a convert like me!

Use

Over/Under Lip Conditioner by Not Soap Radio is actually the very first non-sex related product that I've gotten from Eden. I must say that my happiness with it makes me want to continue to power shop on EF forever. When I was sent the assignment, I was a tad bit apprehensive because, honestly, I am a die-hard Burt's Bees fan and I was not about to abandon my faithful daily chapstick for a new brand that I had never heard of. However, at the same time I was also incredibly excited because it was a product that I could definitely see myself using every day and potentially loving. I gave in and accepted, because really, what's the worst that can happen?

Turns out, I was absolutely and completely right. Since I knew next-to-nothing about the lip balm before it arrived, I was excited to try it out and write about it. I love getting products that no one has reviewed yet because it's easier not to have a biased opinion or to accidentally restate the same points as other reviewers. When my order came, I took out the tiny plastic pot. It was wrapped in clear plastic and other than the label, had no instructions. I mean, of course I can figure out how to use something as basic as lip conditioner, but usually I make a point to religiously read the packaging on products. I just unscrewed the lid and went for it, and I have to say--I love this stuff!

Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity

This balm is the kind that transfers to your lips with your fingers, so I sanitized my hands first. I'm a bit of a germ freak, and I don't like the idea of my hand germs in my lip balm or on my lips. When you first swirl your finger in it, you'll notice that the hard packed substance instantly softens and is easy to use. It feels greasy on the hands, but once its on your lips, it feels like the lip equivalent to a nap on top of a down comforter with a tempur-pedic pillow. Which, in case you were wondering, feels like heaven. It softens, moistens, and honestly makes me want to attack my boyfriend with kisses! He was there when I first used it, and so he wanted to try some. The first thing he said was, "This is so much better than your Burt's Bees. That stuff stings my lips!" He is actually right. If your lips are chapped or dry, this feels so much better than that stinging sensation. I have it on right now, and there's pretty much a party going on. I'm all alone, so I'm halfway considering making out with myself because my lips feel so soft and supple. But seriously, all kidding aside, this stuff kicks every other chapstick/lip gloss/lip balm/moisturizer I've ever had's ASS.

Taste / Aroma

Supposedly, this isn't flavored or scented. I suppose compared to other products it isn't very strongly scented or flavored, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it has NONE. It has a very light scent that is reminiscent of sugar cookies or vanilla bean candles. I LOVE IT. It has less taste than it does smell, but that just means I won't waste it. (Like you know, when you're hungry and trapped in an elevator with no food.) The smell is delicious though and I bet you will like it. It's like a gentle candle. It won't irritate you.

Performance

By my count and estimation, this lip balm lasts noticeably for about 3 hours before you will probably want some more. It doesn't dry up your lips or anything, but that's about when you can't really smell or feel it anymore and I love to reapply, so I do. It's not really necessary though. It could easily go on under a lipstick or gloss, which I like because lipstick tends to look funny on me with nothing under it.

Personal comments

Basically, I am in love with this lip conditioner. It's not meant to be, but it really is also great when giving head. I know it's just normal lip balm, but that's always a nice plus...

    Because I work in healthcare, I find myself worried about these kinds of lip balms. When I had a chance after buying a new lip balm, I was so flustered that I ended up just putting the balm up to my lips and the way my one was designed, it worked alright. 'Cause hey, my lips are definitely cleaner than my fingers.
    Thanks for the review!

    Burt's Bees is the ONLY lip stuff I can use, so I'm intrigued to hear that this works just as well. I totally don't mind the minty tingly sensation, though Great review, thanks for sharing

    I'm pleasantly surprised to see all of the great reviews on the Not Soap Radio lip-products. I think this will have to be the first one I try, since I prefer softer, lighter scents living under my nose. How secure is the lid though? I tend to keep everything in pockets and I've had similar products melt in my pocket and get all over...
  • Contributor: allehcat
