Matte lip balm - lip balm discontinued by Not Soap Radio - review by destinationtwilight

This lip balm surprised me. I actually bought it to give it as a gift and ended up keeping it. The grape scent is not powerful by any means. This is what attracted me to the balm. It is one of those fabulous "barely there" scents that you will occasionally catch a slight smell of. Another thing that I liked was that it isn't that vibrant red that you see in the pictures. I love lip products but only if they don't have too much or any color. The balm does not have a color when applied.

Another positive about this product is that when I put on the balm it does not leave a slimey/weird feeling — which some lip products do. It does not make your lips so shiney that the sun can reflect off of them, which I appreciate. Some products claim "matte" but do not follow through. I also like the packaging. It is fairly simple but it is slightly larger than products similar to it, which makes it an easier to find when sifting through your purse.

There are only two complaints that I have about this Matte lip balm. The first complaint being about how often you have to apply the product in order to keep your lips from feeling dry. It seemed as though I had to reach for it quite a few times within a short amount of time to feel as though it was doing the job. Also, it is not entirely easy to get full coverage on your lips with this balm. You have to dip your finger in at least 4 times in order to fully cover your lips.

Overall I would say that this product is worth a try. I appreciated the scent and the size. I do not think it is overpriced if you are someone who spends a decent amount on lip products. I have actually decided to stick with this as my everyday lip product for now, even with the few minor complaints I have.
