I consider myself to be a lip balm connoisseur because I have literally tried over 30 kinds of lip balm. I prefer either minty or fruity lip balms, so when I heard that the Made from Earth Spearmint and Blueberry Balm was really minty, I had to try it! If this lip balm was so thick and waxy, it would be one of the best. I love it because it is made with natural ingredients, and because it is nice and minty which makes your lips tingle. Unfortunately, it is very thick and waxy and it doesn't glide on my lips like other lip balms do. That is my only complaint. I would recommend it to others to try because I am a little picky when it comes to lip products, so it might just be me.

It is a sneaky irritant - smells and tastes great while giving the impression that it is soothing. In fact it causes a deep inflammation reaction and creates a need for more and more applications - an actual dependence on the lip balm. Most lip balm manufacturers know this!
