Antipodes was kind enough to send me this lip balm to try and review. I am so glad they did! As I've mentioned time and time again, I love lip balms!
Claim: A creamy, moisturizing and organic lip balm which features olive oil, cocoa butter and lime to condition your lips and shine your smile! Perfect for everyday application.
I will say, I dislike the smell and taste. It's definitely cocoa butter with a hint of lime which almost tastes like dish soap (no, I have not tried dish soap!). That's what it tastes like to me. I'm not a fan of cocoa butter scents in general though, so perhaps that's why I don't enjoy the scent. Aside from that, I adore it and it is truly a pleasure to use. It is SOOOOOOO creamy and moisturizing. I spent the day playing frisbee with my boyfriend, a few weeks ago, and my lips got so chapped from the sun. I was too lazy to reapply my Hurraw! SPF balm (serves me right). This totally brought them back to life overnight. I use this whenever my lips feel dry and right before bed. I am in love with it. The packaging is pretty basic, I would love to see it look as good as their skin care packaging. I will definitely purchase this whenever I use this tube all up. It's a definite must have for me now.
Retails for approx. $7.00 CAN. Check out www.antipodesnature.us for more info. Can be found at Whole Foods, www.hipapotheca.com, and www.spaboutique.ca.
