I Am A Bacio Me Addict

Bacio me is tubed lip balm that is described as a spa treatment for your lips, which I have to agree. Lip balm is used to protect your lips, add shine, and add moisture to your lips with the end result being soft and kissable lips. Bacio me is no exception.

Bacio me when first applied goes on thin, but not too thin and immediately you can feel the hydration starting. I noticed a difference with the first use, but my lips weren't chapped or dry. This gloss has quickly replaced my usual chapstick, which is my go to lip treatment.

Bacio me is similar to Neosporin. It is thick, but thin at the same time. There is nothing gritty or chunky about it. When you smear it on your lips it is smooth and easy to spread. Thankfully this is not sticky or messy what so ever. The lip balm is thick enough that it stays in place as well. This lip balm comes in an easy to dispense tube that is slanted to help the gloss spread even easier.

Bacio me is virtually tasteless and odorless. From what I can tell, there is only a slight sweet and fresh smell to it. This smell is only noticeable when you first apply the lip balm, but as soon as you spread it the smell isn't detected. If I lick my lips with this on, I do not taste anything, but if I taste it in a larger amount it taste like Neosporin. This taste is not unpleasant, but not desirable either, however you shouldn't come across this issue unless you are eating the lip balm. When you kiss someone who is wearing this lip balm it will transfer over to their lips, but just a thin shiny layer.

I absolutely love this lip balm and I do believe I am addicted to it. Since there is no taste to it, I find I don't like my lips, so it lasts longer. I do rub my lips together like crazy, but since it feels like Neosporin that doesn't have much effect on how long it lasts. It lasts up to 2 or more hours, but this will change if you are licking your lips, making out with someone, eating, drinking, or talking. All of these will require reapplying more often. Should you want to remove this off your lips a dry cloth works just fine, but if you feel like it still needs to come off try a damp cloth.

The lip balm has a light pink color to it, but goes on clear. It provides nice shine to your lips and really adds moisture.
