Review: Blistex Natural Cooling Comfort Lip Balm

Aside from being a mascara fiend I'm also a lip balm fiend...gosh I have SO MUCH of the stuff. But like every good girl, even if you have a bunch at home, when you see something new and interesting, you'll get it anyways right??


I came across new Blistex Natural Cooling Comfort balm on a random Superstore walk. The fact that it's natural is what enticed me.

However, like most natural products, it's often difficult to know if the whole product is natural and organic or it just applies to some ingredients. It does say 100% natural and USDA Certified Organic on the package though.



Obviously this comes in a squeeze tube form. It is actually quite small. The tube is soft though and easy to squeeze, but that's where the problem comes in.



Let me rephrase that. It's not the tube that's the problem. It's the balm itself. I'm not sure if you can see from the picture but the consistency of the balm is very runny and watery, almost like a serum. That translates to short-wear and more reapplication.

As for the feel, it is cooling as the name indicates. If you can see it the tube also says "external analgesic" on it. But I think that's accomplished by the ingredient menthol.



But I like how it looks on my lips though. It brings a very moist, healthy shine, but I don't find it that moisturizing at all. It has a very mild scent that's fresh and citrusy. However, I wouldn't buy this again, it just doesn't last very long, and it's not particularly wallet-friendly either.
