Makeup junkies always like to talk about their "holy grail" products. I try to save this term only for products that really deserve it. Guys, I've found my lip balm. I've truly found my holy grail lip balm. And it's one that's made for men!
This tube of wonderful goodness to which am referring is Jack Black's Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25. There are five flavors to choose from, and I opted for the original mint and shea butter variety.
The product has a nice thickness to it (think Vaseline but a little thicker), and it's incredibly moisturizing. Probably my favorite part about this stuff is that it stays on my lips for HOURS. That never happens--I'm one of those who is compulsively applying lip balm 1000 times per day. Depending on what you're eating or drinking, it can even withstand that.
The mint flavor is really nice. It's not too overpowering like some other mint lip products I've tried (some are even so strong they've burned my eyes). That does not happen with this. It's also quite a bit thicker than the CO Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine and lasts quite a bit longer on the lips. It has a nice cooling sensation (again, not overpowering) and feels great. I also like how it's not TOO glossy. The finish is almost like a satin-matte with just a little bit of something. That probably has to do with the fact that this was made for men. It makes your lips look beautifully healthy.
Long story short, this stuff is amazing. I would highly recommend that you go pick up a tube immediately.
Thanks for reading!
